Analysis of Struggle
The struggle's real
That each one's zeal's defeated
Men want to keep it together
But stars don't want to shine on them
Some bearly keep their head above the water
Some looking for ways to keep above water
Fists punching in the air
Yet no distance's walked
Most ask themselves; what'd i do wrong?
But no answer surfaced only more worry
Smiles are wiped away
Like greens after a flood
Struggle's real, even after all's achieved
Lives are lost making it vain to have
All walk with pride but in unfavourable side
Although we fight we know we can't be is sight.
