Issues Lyrics - Singles - Abdel Wright

Countless times when things were rough and nothing but the heat 

Chances of jobs delete 

I remember well a point in time, I had nowhere to sleep 

My issues and the streets 

The other day I had my last $30.00 in my empty pockets 

I wanted to buy something to eat to kill the hunger 

But then I remembered that my guitar needed two stings 

That were broken I prefer to feed my soul 

How many mountains do we have to climb? 

How many rivers of tears to quench the pain? 

How long is the journey, it just seems endless 

But I have to hold on 

Religion has been a stumbling block, it haunts me everyday 

Can I ever clear this way? 

Im man enough to let you know at times 

Im skeptical of that man called Christ even though He gave His life 

How can I survive in a church, a refuge for my soul? 

When the levity unfold is different from the word being told 

How dare you justify your wicked ways with quoting from the scripture? 

Youre the better, worse than anyone else 

How many mountains do we have to climb? 

How many rivers of tears to quench the pain? 

How long is the journey, it just seems endless 

But I have to hold on 

Unfortunately, Ive been stereotyped on how to treat a woman 

Im a product of a one night stand 

If you happen to be my father and youre listening to this song 

Youre damned outright and wrong 

My mom was just a sick woman, she lost her mind at twelve 

But you chose to satisfy yourself 

I lost a woman that I really loved, although I hardly knew 

My anger grew and grew 

How many mountains do we have to climb? 

How many rivers of tears to quench the pain? 

How long is the journey, it just seems endless 

But I have to hold on 

Oh, I have to hold on 

Yeah, oh, I have to hold on 

Yeah, oh, I have to hold on
