Verse 1
E 
How could I have learned this?
Scrambling eggs on a fire furnace
My mind interprets poverty
as a road to depression
Go in my head, it's like a giant circus
See me fight tigers and walk in tight wires
While everyone thinking
my life is perfect
Unable to pay the bills,
pops made us feel good
Keeping us hanging on
the thread of hope
Thinking we on the verge of
a major deal
Making millions of dollars
All our worries will be over
But for now the weight of the
world is on our shoulders
This one meal gon' have to hold
us over till the next day
King
Babu with album dreams
Mom
Duke still got six mouths to feed
Workin' two and three jobs
Cause pops don't know how to read
So he goes runnin' the streets
Hustlin' peeps
Gettin' money at least
So we can have something to eat
Why can't we ever have stuff
Like the white kids
I've had enough
I'm sick of livin' like this
Keep your head up, brother
No matter what the weather,
you can bet your bottom dollar
Trouble won't last forever,
keep your head up sister
Come on and get it together,
you can bet your bottom dollar
Trouble won't last forever
Some dude in a truck just came and
turned off the water valve
And left a notice saying we owe an outstanding
balance of a thousand dollars
Don't worry mama,
we can survive without it
At least we on section 8 and don't have
to live in public housing
It's like poverty's kicking us and a
pup will start us sneaking around
Going to gas stations,
filling our garbage cans up with water to drink
And cook with,
and wash our bodies so it don't stink
But it didn't work,
life's pushing my limits
Why was I chosen to go
through this ghetto living?
I feel like I'm in a race and I'll never
reach the yellow ribbon
Or red or blue, whatever color it is
You don't understand the struggle
of being one of six kids
In a family with no money at all
Yeah, I had a job, but of course
I'ma help pay bills
Most of it went to my mom,
Lord, what up?
Is you mad at me,
or are you putting me through this?
All because you got a plan for me, huh?
Keep your head up, brother
No matter what the weather
You can bet your bottom dollar
Trouble won't last forever
Keep your head up, sister
I told
God, I said I hate this position,
I'm through with this life
And he was like my grace
is sufficient for you
He spoke to me and made me realize
That in this life the only element I'll ever
need is
God
To me it's odd how he comforts me,
he keeps
me company I feel I'm sitting
in the lap of luxury to
some degree
He said if I give up my life I get a fresh
If I delight myself in
Him, I get the desires of my heart
Part of me looks at poverty and just laughs
The other half looks at it and sees
a good weapon to fight pride
It keeps you humble and teaches
you lessons of life
This is a revelation I get
as I reflect on my life
So I take a second to
write this rhyme
Encouraging y 'all to embrace your trouble
I get praise in my struggle because
it leads to perseverance
It builds my character,
giving me hope in my spirit
Study these lyrics
You gotta keep your head up, yo
We're not promised an
easy walk in this life
But we are promised
Trouble won't last forever
Just like it never rains forever
And the sun always comes out
You what mean?
You can bet and believe in the promise
That trouble will never last forever, yo
