Strength to Survive

Things are not always what they seem

See real life is getting in the way of my dreams

I get a little taste of what I feel

But get a heavy dose, a heavy dose of what is real, hey

I feel tired, I feel left out and set aside

I’m trying to find the strength y'all, to survive

When I'm looking in my mirror, I don’t like what I see

I see a broken man staring right back at me

I need a plan and a little good luck y'all

To see me through, see me through when times get rough, hey

I feel tired, I feel left out, left out and set aside

I’m trying to find the strength y'all, to survive

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

See my woman and bills are all in my face

They both worry me and want to be paid

See I ain’t got much, baby, but it’s more than you need, Lord

See, so don’t forget, girl, you are the one that picked me, hey

That's why I'm feeling tired, I feel left out and set aside

See I’m trying to find the strength baby to survive

See I stopped feeling sorry for myself

It’s up to me and only me and no one else

My soul was dead and now my spirit’s alive y'all

See I found the strength, hey, the strength to survive y'all

I’m not tired, I'm not left out, no, no, see, or set aside

I finally found the strength, yeah, yeah to survive y'all, yeah, yeah
