Battles
Every person in this world has a battle they are trying defeat
Behind the eyes is an untold story from everyone that you meet.
Quick to judge ready to condemn, this whole world is falling apart
You’re not the only one who is fighting a battle this whole world is being ripped apart.
The struggle is hard the pain is real it doesn’t matter what you’re going through
I’m shouting out not to one but to all, don’t fight this battle you’re in alone
When you’ve got people that will stand with you.
Homeless, jobless, there’s addiction and more, the loss of a loved one, everyone is at war
What about the soldiers who battled for us to be free
That live in a world that doesn’t give them the respect they deserve, can’t even get the help that they need
So many people just like you, fighting the same monsters that live inside their head
They can’t handle their own thoughts, feeling defeated, losing all reason to even get out of bed
There are people who will read these words on their pedestal as if these words do not pertain
You’re blind to the system, they’ve got you playing their game, you’re
Fighting battles for no reason, you don’t even know why, the system wants madness, but that’s all on you, choosing to believe all their lies
And as for those in the system full of power and greed still trying to climb the ladder to wherever that might be
Your fear should be greater for your battle is with God, I don’t know if there are support groups in the white house, but when you arrive,
The Devil will inform you when as he hands you his card
Everyone is fighting a battle cause the devil is on the prowl
He prays among the weak like our government is preying on us now.
You are not alone in whatever battle you are having to face,
If more people fought together, instead of being divided by stupidity, with all this bull of hatred and blaming it on race.
a nation of God, our blood is all the same color, quit fighting amongst ourselves and band together as brothers.
Don’t wait until your battle turns into an all-out war, please just speak out, you’re not alone
There are people that will help you through, you don’t have to battle a war all by yourself, you will always have people that will stand to fight any battle you struggle through.
