[Intro: Irv Gotti]

Dear Lord

I come to You a humble man

Asking your forgiveness for all my sins that I have committed throughout my life

And Lord, I ask of You one more thing

Have mercy on the souls of my enemies, for they not know what they do

As we proceed, chapter two

[Chorus: Ashanti]

I know it gets hard for us sometimes

And I know we can't stop living this life

I know it gets harder every day

But I know we can't stop living this way

[Verse 1: Ashanti]

Some days, I would say, 'there's got to be a better way'

I don't know if I wanna live my life like this for each and every day

But now I've found that I've got to stay

Even though it gets hard, I've came this far

And I can't live my life no other way

[Chorus: Ashanti]

I know it gets hard for us sometimes

And I know we can't stop living this life

I know it gets harder every day

But I know we can't stop living this way

[Verse 2: Ashanti]

I tried to figure out if there's another path for me

'Cause all of these ups and downs and in's and out's be kind of stressing me

But I could never see myself

Living like nothing else, it's hard to tell

But damn, I know this life too well

[Bridge: Ashanti]

Sometimes, people just don't know

What they know and what to follow

Even when it don't seem right

Give up buddy, live your life

[Chorus: Ashanti]

I know it gets hard for us sometimes

And I know we can't stop living this life

I know it gets harder every day

But I know we can't stop living this way

[Interlude: Ashanti]

Oooh, oooh, oooh

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

[Chorus: Ashanti]

I know it gets hard for us sometimes

And I know we can't stop living this life

I know it gets harder every day

But I know we can't stop living this way

I know it gets hard for us sometimes

And I know we can't stop living this life

I know it gets harder every day

But I know we can't stop living this way

[Outro: Irv Gotti]

Yeah

For all my peoples

Living that everyday life

Sometimes you gon' have ups, sometimes you gon' have downs

Fight through that, y'all

Keep pushing it

Don't ever stop pushing, y'all

Don't ever stop believing

Take the good with the bad

You know?

It's gon' be alright

You know what I mean, [?]?

Ashanti, I.G
