Trying to Cope (feat. Vivian R. King)

Living life day to trying keep ya head Above water Make a dollar out of quarter Want make it out the ghetto Lord please give some hope I'm just trying to cope Trying cope in a world a sin where temptation is a daily trend Fighting to comprehend The struggle Nobody want invest youth I tell the truth Didn't want to listen So I take to the booth I put my heart soul in it I must admit, want to quit I was hurting in the pit of my Stomach feeling queasy this anit easy Can't see through all the Pain so I hesitate Still on move no connection resonate With my spirit feeling Weary and even teary Lord I need another Vision another theory Clear direction on the path I should take Help me to separate the real From the fake People talk a good game But that really hate Don't want to see win so they Scheme and plot Lord I'm praying for protection cause You all I got Living life day to day Trying keep ya head above water Make a dollar out of quarter Want make it out the ghetto Lord please give some hope I'm just trying to cope Ghetto kids on the back of the bus Still in last place I'm pleading the case to all The human race Still getting gun down 2018 Just another murder scene And it seems we trap In a cycle like a hamster on the wheel Fighting racism and still Dealing with sexism Everybody me too till it's the kinfolk And after while It want be no more men folk Women raising boys Trying to do they best they can We need community give Single mothers a hand Shouldn't have to sex em Just to talk to they son Put your self in the kid shoes Cause you could of been the one Get in the game get off the sideline The good works pays off in due time You can be used forget about lies Put your hope in God And a faith that never dies Living life day to trying keep ya head Above water Make a dollar out of quarter Want make it out the ghetto Lord please give some hope I'm just trying to cope
