I can see it
Itīs funny man
Cause itīs like itīs not going nowhere
And you gonī see it wherever thereīs struggle
I see my pain in your eyes man
So I know youīre feelinī me
Itīs that twinkle man
That sign of struggle
Iīve seen it
In me
Cause everyday I canīt help but see it
People ainīt satisfied
And youīre hatinī 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 youīre livinī better now
Share a little of that cheddar now
Cause I remember days back when
A brother was hustlin and robbinī too
I done tossed up a letter now
On a whole nother level now
Still I canīt enjoy my fame
Unless my people doinī the same
And gettinī money too
(Once in awhile I couldnīt 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 couldnīt look at you)
Once in awhile
(and see the twinkle in your eyes)
And I can see that you donīt ever wanna cry no more
Cause everytime you ask me, Iīm grindinī
It shouldnīt have to be that way
You shouldnīt have to pay my way
I shouldnīt have to want for a brighter day
Got a little problem on the way
Bounty hunters checkinī state to state
Child support lady on your case
Not to mention tickets you ainīt never paid
Oh
Is what youīll be askinī
God please hold it down for me
Donīt let satan get ahold of me
Iīm tryinī 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 donīt 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 cryinī
And inside youīre dyin
Weīre 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 donīt 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 donīt ever wanna cry no more
Donīt wanna cry no more
And I can see
That you donīt ever want to struggle no more
And I can see that you donīt ever wanna cry now more
