I've been judged all my life Criticized about decisions I made Working non-stop with limited breaks Giving six-figure efforts, earning minimum wage I can't sleep - for every blink, there's a cent to be made I won't rest to until the day of my death The day they lay me in a grave And I can say that I gave it my best Nothing less or I made a mistake I was lying when I said I was ready to be taken away Not until the clouds are gone, long away from grey Knowing it won't rain where my babies stay Sunshine over my wife, watering my seeds To raise the plants I laid to make a legacy I won't stop until my organs give up, my heart gives out My throat gets cut, whatever deaths got to pitch out I'm gonna take it to the full count The last eight ball at the pool house And even the corner pocket to point out Sometimes it's gonna be hard But we can make it better Sometimes it don't work So we gotta be stronger You know that I can feel your pain I know sometimes it's gonna rain In this life we live I'll give you all I got to give Now I know I'm not the only guy dealing with stress But why do I gotta be the one that's so familiar with death? It's like, I know I ain't dreaming, but I can't believe it Either the grim reaper's here or the banshees' screaming Here to take a star from my movie off of my set And I'm the film director screaming with the bullhorn, vexed And I ain't suicidal, but I'm taking that step to say: "If you come around again, you're making me next" My grandpop passed '02 without a clue or a sign at all My family foundation started to fall And it was hard losing my grams She nurtured all the roots of this man You understand, she was the glue to the fam It crushed my heart in the hospital seeing her cry Holding my hand telling me that she was scared to die I couldn't take it at the wake the straight face she had gave me the shivers It made me wanna crawl in that coffin with her Sometimes it's gonna be hard But we can make it better Sometimes it don't work So we gotta be stronger You know that I can feel your pain I know sometimes it's gonna rain In this life we live I'll give you all I got to give,all I got to give All I got to give Is my heart and my love No I can't give up On all of the things that I fear Still I miss you so I wish that you were here I had a dream to paint the world that I seen Then, I seen the world I dreamt I gave it all I got to give But I still gotta give more My little girl's about the only thing I live for Life ain't a destination - it's a journey So how I made it here to where I am now concerns me So I don't care where I go I just care how I get there And watch the world spin while I sit there Sometimes it's gonna be hard But we can make it better Sometimes it don't work So we gotta be stronger You know that I can feel your pain I know sometimes it's gonna rain In this life we live I'll give you all I got to give Sometimes it’s gonna be hard But we can make it better Sometimes it don’t work So we gotta be stronger You know that I can feel your pain I know sometimes it's gonna rain In this life we live I'll give you all I got to give,all I got to give,all I got to give I'll give you all I got to give I'll give you all I got to give from my heart So all I got to give All I got to give
