lyrics

When you're minding you're own but you feel like you're under attack,
And when you ain't got a tone but everybody just answer you back,
People feeling feeble never wondering far from the pack,
They say you can't do that,
And then they come with the violence now and it all turn black,
Yes it all turn black.. whoa,
It all turn black.. whoa,
The struggle never stop,
Struggle never stop,
No the struggle never stop,
The Struggle, never stop, never stop, never..
It's a tall order,
With all that go on,
To just live from your heart,
And not get torn apart,
Yes it's a tall order,
With all that go on,
To just live from your heart,
And not get torn apart,
Community gone so the child just there on their own,
The only social network is just what them get pon their phone,
Used to be time when your behaviour mattered to the people around,
But when the eyes of a stranger watching them nah care what them told,
The Children,
No the struggle never stop,
The struggle never stop,
No the struggle never stop,
The struggle, never stop, never stop, never..
It's a tall order.. [ ]
Yeah me love the youth worker,
Cause them out on the block,
Gathering the flock,
Time bomb going tick tock,
Yeah me love the youth worker.. [ ]
