"EVERYBODY'S GOT A STRUGGLE" Lyrics

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow

(STRUGGLE) The devil tried but I never sold my soul
I still gotta listen to my conscious say I told you so
I paint a picture of the common people, Van Gogh
Most of them fall cause they ain't know what they were standing for
Eviction notice, everything packed into storage
Papa bear broke laws so the cubs could have their porridge
More to the story than what you hear off in these songs
Don't judge a home until you looked inside the window of your own

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got mine though Everybody's got a story everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow

(STRUGGLE) I'm in the dark still feeling round for that light switch
They said that shorty was suicidal till that knife slipped
You think it's bad but it could always be worse
The grass always looks greener, vice verse
My kids deserve a chance cause they ain't ask for this shit
I don't want "our daddy back" written on their Christmas list
So I'ma' finish this by giving it my everything
Know I'm gonna loose the feeling soon so I cherish pain

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got mine though
Everybody's got a story everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow

(STRUGGLE) They said I'm lost, I left my map off in my Levis
I been here before, I recognize the street signs
Don't judge momma less you stood off at her heels
And let your pride fly just so you could pay the bills
Don't judge bruh unless you stood out on his block
And did exactly what he did to put them groceries in his spot
Don't stop reading till you've read every single chapter
Cause it's mind over matter, the sunrises morning after

(LAURA REED) Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got mine though Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry cause you know I got to grow, to grow Everybody got a story everybody got a struggle
Everybody got worries But that's where we grow
Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry Cause you know I got mine though Everybody's got a story Everybody's got a struggle
I won't act like I don't worry Cause you know I got to grow

THE DANCE Lyrics

(STRUGGLE)
The DJ playin' us some crazy songs 
But we still dance along, hopin' that it carries on
When I met her I ain't wanna let her in my heart
Cause I was facin' twenty-five, goodbye's so fuckin' hard
I let go an let God, was lighter than a feather
We beat the case together, told you that the dust would settle
Never say never, the world is at our finger tips
Every day's a holiday so I bring her gifts
Try to design her, dress her in designer
She told me that the finer things never would define her
Just wanted to let her sit back, chill, recliner
Never wanted to let the tears smear her eyeliner

(GARTH BROOKS)
And I'm glad I didn't know
The way that it would end
The way that it would go
Our lives
Are better left to chance
Could've missed the pain
But I'd've had to miss the dance

(STRUGGLE)
Remember that dance on the boat on the river
Passing the city, under the bridge, I proposed
I still remember your glow
I still remember that song, how's it go
I still remember the kiss we kissed under the mistletoe (oh)
I still remember that blue dress on the waterfall
Where we took our vows, I can recall it all
Like it was yesterday, yeah some of the best of days
Just let the record play, let's dance the stress away
Cause i'd be blessed to stay, because i'm blessed to say
My sin was not writin' this sooner, I confessed today
Let's put the rest away, but bring the past with us
We gotta smile to keep from cryin' so let 'em laugh with us

(GARTH BROOKS)
And i'm glad i didn't know
The way that it would end
The way that it would go
Our lives
Are better left to chance
Could've missed the pain
But i'd have had to miss the dance

(STRUGGLE)
The pictures flash before my teary eyes
I didn't know before but now i understand
So clearly why, why we met an fell so deep in love
An why we still danced in the rain even though our feet were stuck in mud
And why I'm at a peaceful place with this fed case
They tryna' take my life this time, no time to waste
So incase just hold me tight and lets slow waltz
No pointin' fingers no regrets, uh-uh, no faults
Cause they can throw salt, we add flour an make bread
I'll have to charge it to the game, I hope they take lead
Regardless they cant take the memories that we have
We gotta smile to keep from cryin' so this time we laugh

(GARTH BROOKS)
and i'm glad i didn't know
the way that it would end
the way that it would go
our lives
are better left to chance
could've missed the pain
but i'd have had to miss the dance

ANOTHER PLACE & ANOTHER TIME Lyrics

(WAYLON)
That was another place an another time

(STRUGGLE)
Raised by an outlaw, born to a hustler
Searchin' for my daddy's killer, where's Colonel Mustard
Never knew black an white, only rich or poor
Momma's standin' in the rain, knockin' on the preacher's door
She had problems, had to mend on her own
So she left her little homey at home (yeah)
To fend for his own, fourteen an I'm forced to be grown
I'm at the kitchen table splittin' a zone
Gotta get money
No lights, stay warm, smell the propane
Lookin' through the neighbor's window just to catch the Soul Train
Live by the creed, persuaded by the dope man
I seen lives turn to ashes on a coke can
Still received profits from things that were wrong
The CD was scratched but they was playin' my song
With the clip on the K I'm so bananas
Tryna' hide myself behind black bandannas

(SHOOTER)
There were Kings an Queens on down the line
That was another place and another time
An your memory is splattered on my mind
That was another place and another time

(STRUGGLE)
I feel immortal, ways are so immoral
Fate trapped on tapes in a Federal recorder (yeah)
So force the aura to give ya'll a good vide
No paranoia, constant smiles like a good high
But all the while inside the chamber anger bubbles
Why struggle, hear the pain inside a hustler's mumble
even though it sounds subtle I can still hear it loud
Got faith to move mountains can I move this crowd
I got my goals in clear view I'm headin' for it
But first I gotta' hit these streets an get the bread for it
Feds takin' pictures, but I still move
I might win this round but I'ma' still lose
Ten grand in the bag, brown bag special
Underneath the seat, a thirty eight special
Witness said "sketch 'em", detective said "we'll catch 'em"
Papa's still contestin', but momma said "arrest 'em"

(SHOOTER)
Only mountains an rivers remain
That was another place and another time
Your memory is splattered on my mind
That was another place and another time

(STRUGGLE)
Real life I'm out here fightin' the curse
Real talk, my real life lives on every verse
I'm an outlaw, life has took a turn for the worse
Feel like I'm hustlin backwards like the fifth to the first
But I endure the struggle, I embrace the hustle
With the weight of my hood on my back it's makin' muscle
I'm like a hustler on his last pack, Earnhardt on his last lap
Pac on his last track, It's all on the line
I struggled for a moment in time, now I feel like this moment is mine
(whatchu' say Struggle?)
I struggled for a moment in time, now I feel like this moment is mine
An I'll be damned if I let you throw a wrench in my grind, I'm clenchin' my nine
Be damned if I sit in this line, I wait for no man
It's certain what I got I deserved it, if you try to take it from me then it's curtains
(we'll holler atcha')

(SHOOTER)
Only Kings an Queens on down the line
That was another place and another time
An your memory's are splattered on my mind
That was another place and another time

I know that only mountains an rivers remained
But that was another place an another time
Oh your memory's splattered on my mind
Oh but that was another place an another time

MAMA (Oh Sweet Mama) Lyrics

(WAYLON)
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Don't tell me that I'm really fallin' to pieces
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me

(STRUGGLE)
Jack Daniels tears on a dear Strugg letter
Said she wanted to love me, but I never would let her
Fed up, she let up, let go, got out
Guess I shoulda' got up from the table when she shot out
UH, but I didn't I was sittin' countin' money
Speed limit was thirty five, I'm doin' a hundred
I can hear that train comin' I'm still walkin' on these tracks
Hold up girl where you goin'? Ay, bring it back
I'm out here bout to get it, I know I been gone too long
I'm a vagabond, dreamer, rhymer, singer of these songs
I ain't livin' long like this without you
I can't put these pieces back together without glue

(WAYLON)
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Don't tell me that I'm really fallin' to pieces
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me

(STRUGGLE)
The camel's back's broke that was the last straw
We both throwin' punches, we got glass jaws
It hurts deep cause the love's strong
Damn, my favorite jams is the love songs
So I'm just sittin' here just listenin' to Usher on repeat
While the harder that I pull it just pushes you leave
We supposed to be some grown-ups an this is how we act?
Why you keep walkin' away girl? Bring it back
I'm feelin' like you never really loved me from the start
You can't love me from your purse you gotta' love me from your heart
So even though these times is hard I'm out here grindin'
I'm the King of Hearts baby, not the Jack of Diamonds

I'm not the Jack of Diamonds, baby
I'm not worried about all this money, the money comes an goes
What we got is here right now, that's why they jealous of us
So when they throw salt, let's add flour an make bread
The hate is irrelevant when the love is present
Shut up an tell me you love me

(WAYLON)
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me
Let me hold you, hold you in my arms
Don't tell me that I'm really fallin' to pieces
Momma, oh sweet momma, say you love me

Mama (Oh Sweet Mama)

ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY Lyrics

(WAYLON)
Slippin' an a' slidin', playin' dominoes
Leftin' an a' rightin', ain't a crime you know
Well you gotta tell your story boy, before it's time to go

(STRUGGLE)
Show me what it was an I'ma' show you what it will be
I got my hand on my nuts, can you feel me?
To each his own, I can't worry about his grind
This ain't no dress rehearsal homey, this the big time
We are professionals, this is my profession
Story of an Outlaw, this is my confession
No recession, the struggle can't be fabricated
They placed a bet against us, so they mad we made it
They can hate it, they can't stop it, it's irrelevant
Been doin' this since 81, growth and development
Born in the wolves den, became one of them
Lived off hand-me-downs, second hand of sin

(WAYLON)
Are you ready for the country, ready for me?
Get ready for the country, get ready for me
Are you ready for the country, ready for me?
Get ready for the country, ain't I a sight to see

(STRUGGLE)
We are the shooters not the shot at, the ones who never got out,
in these streets chasin' money till it's hot out
If you got a weak stomach don't listen
My story's fulla' murder an suspense, John Grisham
Pain on the pages, not for all ages
Pedal to the metal so I redline all these gauges
Got young spirit old soul like my father
Travelled through muddy water just to get back to the alter
Caught up in the trap, but the trap set me free tonight
The game's dehydrated, yeah I got that Pedialight
They hungry so I feed 'em right
It's dark, I let 'em see the light
My circle's small, I keep it tight
I hope ya'll ready to see a fight
(are ya'?)

(WAYLON)
Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, get ready for me
Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, ain't I a sight to see

Talkin' to a preacher, God was on his side
Talkin' to a pusher, they both were sellin' highs

Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, get ready for me
Are you ready for the country, ready for me
Get ready for the country, ain't I a sight to see

BLACK CURTAINS Lyrics

(WAYLON)
In a white room, with black curtains, in the station.
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired stars.
In a white room, with black curtains, in the station.

(STRUGGLE)
Daddy's a thug, mommas a saint
She sing a story to God, prayin for change
The air's thick but the mic's warm
Cause you were chasing them rainbows right into the storm
Chasing her son cause he was out on the block
Cause shorty wanna be a thug an he listens to Pac
In the same streets pops got shot in
A legacy expected for him to get it poppin'
It's Fat Pete's boy tell em' for certain
Can't see the world passed these black curtains

(WAYLON)
In a white room, with black curtains, in the station.
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired stars.
In a white room, with black curtains, in the station.

He stands still while the time flies
Got kids of his own, responsible for five lives
Come in late don't startle the dog
To bring home the bacon had to slaughter the hog
A father will fall so the family will rise
An when the Feds all arrive, it's time for goodbyes
The look in the eyes of a child all alone
Will make any king give up his throne
They look at his son, he'll have it for certain
So now I'm tearing down the black curtains

(WAYLON)
You said no strings could secure you in the station
Platform tickets, restless diesel, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own needs just beggining 

(JESSI)
I wait in this place where the sun never shines
Die with you where the shadows run from themselves

(STRUGGLE)
The streets told me what I was supposed to be because of who my daddy was
But if he woulda' been alive, he woulda' wanted me to be better than he was
So now as I see my son I say "Be better than I was son, break the cycle"
Like Waylon said, "I leave a lot to live up to, and a lot to live down"
My strengths, my weaknesses, the truth and the lies
So don't walk in my shadow, follow the light
And look past these black curtains

Black Curtains
