Sometimes life is a challenge to get through, this song is about when it is. It's talking about being depressed or sad just because of the way the world is, and when your like that it's almost a challenge to wake up. Beat by D.O.E.
A rapper from Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Story behind the song
A concept I'm really interested in is just being sad not because of a real reason, just being sick of the way things are. Sick of stuff you can't change, so I made this song basicly for anyone whose felt that emotion before. I tried expiermenting a little bit when I was recording it, so I added in that humming stuff you can hear on first and second verse.
Lyrics
VERSE ONE:
Well the little things they seem to add up
Like when 10 dimes turn in to a buck
Like when you've just had to much
You're filled past you limit, had enough
the world doesn't slow down for people like us
So you trek through muddy streams
Filled with people and their shallow dreams
And it's just so wierd when everything
Seems like a challenge, seems so hard
You're Alert, hurt, on your gaurd
Things aren't that bad, whats there to mope for?
But sometimes you notice them, abusing what your hope for
He's got the popular girl but he doesnt treat her fair
He's always had girls, so he now doesn't even care
So you trek through that, get mud on your shoes
It's like you just got hit and now your soul is bruised
CHORUS:
Sometimes life is like heavy mud
Sometimes you have so much hate and no love
Sometimes you feel like you're not good enough
Sometimes it's a challenge just to wake up
Background:
I've got to wake up
Got to wake up
I've got to wake up
Got to wake up
But I don't want to return to my life
VERSE TWO:
You push and you shove
Against the heavy mud
you try to change
Everything that causes you pain
but people arent kind
and people aren't good
its hard to accept
that people dont do what the should
That people wouldn't help
even if they could
So you live life with your head down
Hoping to escape all the chaos around
You don't make a sound
keep to yourself
observing everybody else
figuring out they're
in drastic need of help
cause they care about
money and wealth
sex and drugs
but the last thing they want
is respect or love
You could speak up
but they wouldn't listen
you just can't complete this mission
and it's so frusteratin
You never thought life
could be this agrivatin
CHORUS
VERSE THREE:
You know the bullshit
And you can't change it
So you get so pissed
You wanna slit your wrists
You feel like it would be better to die
And you don't understand why
You're depressed
And every breath
Feels like there's a thousand pounds on your chest
It's not that there's been a drastic change
It's just that the world disgusts you, causes you pain
Can't these people get it through their brain?
Can't somebody gain, and learn from their mistakes?
This is all so fake
The trees
The birds and the bees
The hugs, The love
And the sky
Everything around me seemed like a lie
It didn't seem real
Nobody knows how I feel
Life's a challenge
And I was example of that
Thank god I discovered rap
CHORUS
You gotta trek through it (x8)
You gotta trek through it
You gotta get through this (x4)
