"Everyday Struggle" lyrics

Ya, ya, ya, come on, man
Keep it moving, man
This that real official shit, man
You know what I'm saying?
My name's Shala, man
Chillin' with my homegirl, man, Faith, man, what's up?
Know what time it is, man
G shit all day, man
Word up, man
Ayo, where the fuckin' Rose at, man?

It's funny how the world just turns around
(Turns around and shit, you know?)
Everything that goes up, just know that it might be coming down
(Coming down, nigga)
And nothing new under the sun
(Ayo, ain't nothin' ever new, man)
Everything's already been done
Listen to the words of this song
If you're coming from the right place, you could never go wrong
(Never go wrong, you know what I'm sayin'?)
Life can just pass you by
So I just keep my head to the sky, hold it up high

What we gotta figure out
Is how to just work it out
(Yo, you know what it is, man)
Nothing's more precious than time
(Drop that jewel on 'em, man, for real)
I'll tell you what life's about, people gotta work it out
Open your mind (Open your mind)
To get to the prize (Get to the prize)

Let me tell you something I know (Yeah)
You gotta be more careful of the things that you wish for
Just like King Midas, I was told
(Just like King Midas, as I was told)
Everything that glitters and glows
(Everything that he touch don't turn to gold)
And if you really know how God works
(Damn, shit is mean)
Anything is possible
But you've got to just put Him first
He holds the world in His hands
I'll understand, it's all in His plans

What we got to figure out
Is how to just work it out
(Gotta figure out)
Nothing's more precious than time
(Nothing is more precious than time)
Tell what life's about, people gotta work it out
Open your mind (Open your mind)
To get to the prize (To get to the prize)

A rolling stone letter from daddy
In all the struggles I maintain
Refuse to go back between aggie
Savvy, grown with a lot of remorse
The grind made me define
Whatever times we're in, we're lost
But keep the love, dear, open your heart
I invested it well and now successful and I'm special as hell
So many black clouds broke out the day I caught myself
Got smoked out, wish I had a moment to sell (Moment to sell)
You could be what you wanna
Me, I'm just a genius, a go-gunner
That's what's real, niggas can't front on
My style, my personality, this is my reality
Keep it movin', you could do well
From the half-steppin', I've been born to regulate and strive
Try to stay rich in the heart, stay strong
Real niggas repeat it, Faith, drop a bracelet, we need it
Shala Shell, peace, we need it

What we got to figure out
Is how to just work it out
Nothing's more precious than time
(Nothing is more precious than time)
Tell you what life's about, people gotta work it out
Open your mind (Open your mind)
To get to the prize (Get to the prize)
What we got to figure out
Is how to just work it out
Nothing's more precious than time
Tell you what life's about, people gotta work it out
Open your mind (Open your mind)
To get to the prize (Get to the prize)

You can get to the prize, yeah, woo yeah
It's just a hobby that I picked up in the lobby
Word up, everything is real
Yeah, Chef, Faith, yeah, let's go
This is that meanness, it's that raw, for real
Love, Wu-Tang forever, and ever, and ever
