I can see it
Its funny man
Cause its like its not going nowhere
And you gon see it wherever theres struggle
I see my pain in your eyes man
So I know youre feelin me
Its that twinkle man
That sign of struggle
Ive seen it
In me
Cause everyday I cant help but see it
People aint satisfied
And youre hatin your 9 to 5
Everybody wanna live another life
But every goal or mountain you climb
Not to better your day
That do leave room for people to say
I guess youre livin better now
Share a little of that cheddar now
Cause I remember days back when
A brother was hustlin and robbin too
I done tossed up a letter now
On a whole nother level now
Still I cant enjoy my fame
Unless my people doin the same
And gettin money too
Once in awhile I couldnt look at you
Once in awhile
And see the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
Once in awhile I couldnt look at you
Once in awhile
And see the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you dont ever wanna cry no more
Cause everytime you ask me, Im grindin
It shouldnt have to be that way
You shouldnt have to pay my way
I shouldnt have to want for a brighter day
Got a little problem on the way
Bounty hunters checkin state to state
Child support lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you aint never paid
Oh
Is what youll be askin
God please hold it down for me
Dont let satan get ahold of me
Im tryin to tell you it can happen to me too
But it happened a lot worse to my brother
Muhammad thank God he recovered
Once in awhile I choose look at you
Once in awhile
And see the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
Once in awhile I choose look at you
Once in awhile
And see the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you dont ever wanna cry no more
Once in awhile I choose look at you
I see your pain now
I can feel you strain now
And I can see you cryin
And inside youre dyin
Were all the same now
But you got to make change now
Once in awhile I choose look at you
Once in awhile
And see the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you dont ever struggle no more
Once in awhile I choose look at you
Once in awhile
And see the twinkle in your eyes
And I can see that you dont ever wanna cry no more
Dont wanna cry no more
And I can see
That you dont ever want to struggle no more
And I can see that you dont ever wanna cry now more
