The Beautiful Struggle
Verse 1
I am envy
Not the green eyed monster you've been told of
Instead I am money, greed, power, and control
It's everything that I've always wanted in my life
It's everything that's advantageous for me
I can't live without it because I will surely die
It's my lifeline, it's my heart and it's my soul
Verse 2
I am lust
Not exclusive to the bedroom
The foyer is unique
The beach is a cool rush
I'm experienced
I certainly know how to entertain
I like giving and receiving
It's a way to learn new things
Partners come and go
As they say, there's plenty of fish in the sea
I search for ones who can hit my spot
Verse 3
I am anger
Sometimes the kind you've seen on a crime drama
Maybe CSI, Law & Order or Robbery Homicide Division
I'm ready to use my fists if I ever have to
I will use anything that I can think of
If you piss me off
Rest assured, you will be sorry that you did
I'm patient when it comes to releasing my rage
I'm like a lion that's about to attack its prey
I have hidden moves and tricks
I'm capable of committing murder
Chorus
The beautiful struggle
The wins and loses
The good and the bad
I'm human after all
The beautiful struggle
The ups and downs
The laughter and the tears
I'm human after all
