Elijah Rosario - The Life Lyrics

I'm tryna find my way
I'm tryna keep a peace of mind
World in a different space
Too much going on outside
Everyday I pray let me make it home tonight
Wake up see the morning light, so bright
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life
Scraping up pennies and fighting for crumbs
Look what society made us become
The rich become richer while you stay afloat
Systems corrupted no justice or hope
Oh no
Can't deal
When the news try to bury what's real
But showing murders like a highlight reel
And still expecting us to keep our lips sealed
Live so I can fight another day
Standing tall for all that I believe
Hope my daughter see a better day
Hope she get to live out all her dreams
Work til the day gone
Barely getting by and my job ain't raising my pay
Work til the day gone
Barely getting by to survive tryna keep the bills paid
Through the hard times
It ain't easy, but I know God will make a way
Gotta stay strong
I know I'm on the way to seeing better days
It's just a phase
I'm tryna find my way
I'm tryna keep a peace of mind
World in a different space
Too much going on outside
Everyday I pray let me make it home tonight
Wake up see the morning light, so bright
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life

I'm tryna find my way
I'm tryna keep a peace of mind
World in a different space
Too much going on outside
Everyday I pray let me make it home tonight
Wake up see the morning light, so bright
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life
Scraping up pennies and fighting for crumbs
Look what society made us become
The rich become richer while you stay afloat
Systems corrupted no justice or hope
Oh no
Can't deal
When the news try to bury what's real
But showing murders like a highlight reel
And still expecting us to keep our lips sealed
Live so I can fight another day
Standing tall for all that I believe
Hope my daughter see a better day
Hope she get to live out all her dreams
Work til the day gone
Barely getting by and my job ain't raising my pay
Work til the day gone
Barely getting by to survive tryna keep the bills paid
Through the hard times
It ain't easy, but I know God will make a way
Gotta stay strong
I know I'm on the way to seeing better days
It's just a phase
I'm tryna find my way
I'm tryna keep a peace of mind
World in a different space
Too much going on outside
Everyday I pray let me make it home tonight
Wake up see the morning light, so bright
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life
I wished I lived in a world where I ain't judged by the color of skin
Or the clothes and the shoes I'm in
Where it's safe for the kids outside
A good life
