Once in a While

I can see it It's funny man 'Cause it's like it's not going nowhere And you goin' see it wherever there's struggle I see my pain in your eyes man So I know you're feelin' me It's that twinkle man That sign of struggle I've seen it In me 'Cause everyday I can't help but see it People ain't satisfied And you're hatin' your 9 to 5 Everybody wanna live another life But every goal or mountain you climb Not to better your day That do leave room for people to say I guess you're livin' better now Share a little of that cheddar now 'Cause I remember days back when A brother was hustlin and robbin' too I done tossed up a letter now On a whole nother level now Still I can't enjoy my fame Unless my people doin' the same And gettin' money too (Once in awhile I couldn't look at you) Once in awhile (and see the twinkle in your eyes) And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more (Once in awhile I couldn't look at you) Once in awhile (and see the twinkle in your eyes) And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more 'Cause everytime you ask me, I'm grindin' It shouldn't have to be that way You shouldn't have to pay my way I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day Got a little problem on the way Bounty hunters checkin' state to state Child support lady on your case Not to mention tickets you ain't never paid Oh Is what you'll be askin' God please hold it down for me Don't let satan get ahold of me I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too But it happened a lot worse to my brother Muhammad thank God he recovered (Once in awhile I choose look at you) Once in awhile (and see the twinkle in your eyes) And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more (Once in awhile I choose look at you) Once in awhile (and see the twinkle in your eyes) And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more (Once in awhile I choose look at you) I see your pain now I can feel you strain now And I can see you cryin' And inside you're dyin We're all the same now But you got to make change now (Once in awhile I choose look at you) Once in awhile (and see the twinkle in your eyes) And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more (Once in awhile I choose look at you) Once in awhile (and see the twinkle in your eyes) And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more Don't wanna cry no more And I can see That you don't ever want to struggle no more And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry now more
