I can see it It´s funny man Cause it´s like it´s not going nowhere And you gon´ 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 wayI 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
