It's All A Struggle Lyrics - Kristyles - Krs One

[Chorus] 

It's all a struggle (tryin to make it day to day) 

It's all a struggle (from my hood to around your way) 

It's all a struggle (single parents all by theyself) 

It's all a struggle (diseases decreasin your health) 

It's all a struggle (fiends swearin that's they last puff) 

It's all a struggle (hustler tryin to avoid handcuffs) 

(No matter what you do, who you are or where you from) 

(Rich poor black white, at the end of the day) 

It's all a struggle, and most people's struggles are doubled 

You ain't the only one with a challenge facin some trouble 

Look at the woman chewed up by the dog with no muzzle 

Or the workers that got trapped underground in that tunnel 

Some kids are playin in pools, others in puddles 

When they listen to the news the propaganda is subtle 

But it's time for you to know that the cryin got to go 

Release the guilt that you built and let it flow 

Slow and low, that is the tempo 

Move slow and on the low, this you gotta know 

You don't get the muscles without the hard struggles 

You ain't the only one out here tryin to get dough 

From the hustler to the preacher to the government leaders 

From the airline pilot to the chef to the teachers 

We linked in the same huddle, in the same tussle'n'bustle 

Cause at the end of the day, it's all a struggle 

[Chorus] 

It's all a struggle - but don't let the challenges bug you 

Or the government drug you, or the thieves in the street 

Beat and mug you - build your tunnel under the rubble 

Come up on the other side eye to eye with the trouble 

Look at the Twin Towers crumble 

Look at the religious leadership stumble, everybody struggles 

But not everybody comes through nifty, it's fifty/fifty 

The city itself will outrun you quickly 

Whether you be healthy or sickly 

Whether you be wealthy or thrifty, ugly or pretty 

Everybody's tryin to get 50's and 100's 

I taught this at UCLA just off Sunset 

Now run get "Ruminations" 

It's a book that I published for the healing of this nation 

In just a few chapters we run through, some possible solutions 

Cause at the end of the day 

[Chorus] 

It's all a struggle
