Strive is a song in English
I've never been about the dollars, never been material
Never been above a sandwich or a bowl of cereal
I never been a snake and never stabbed a back
Loyalty is rare as ever, now a days we lack of that
Now a days we lack a lot, so tell me where the passion's at
Bringing it back whether you sing on the track or slinging the packs
Lets leave it at that, just trust your vision
Make a wrong step and it just means you got more wisdom
Failure is the driver and this life is a freeway
Remember to stay up like not sleeping in 3 days
Sometimes you get cast out, like Andre the 3K
But thats when you thrive, you always down for the ride
You put the bad things aside, gotta stay focused and sure
You always looking for more, you always looking to strive, so
When I reach
For the sky
Know I'm blessed
To be alive
When I reach
For the sky
Know I'm blessed
To be alive
But something's gotta give cause as it is we just get by
My momma told me to never take it for granted
To never look down on others and never act like I had it
Cause we didn't, and I've never been afraid to admit it
She also told me whatever I do, to do it committed
I been around this block a couple of times
My heart bright as the day, my mind dark as the night
Always striving for some balance, I've never left what is right
Some blessings come in disguise, some lessons come with a price
I'll pay it without a question, invest in becoming wise
I'm stressing but know there's light, beyond in the other side
And we gon make it though it may not be tomorrow
And it may not be tonight
We always strive
When I reach
For the sky
Know I'm blessed
To be alive
When I reach
For the sky
Know I'm blessed
To be alive
But something's gotta give cause as it is we just get by
