**[Intro: rap artist future sound]** *(Echoed, atmospheric)*
Life’s a struggle... life’s a struggle... I swear...
Life’s a struggle... life’s a struggle... I swear...
**[Verse 1: NuwaveRich]**
Lost in the streets where the shadows creep,
Heart heavy, got secrets I can’t keep.
You was my day one, now it’s all a blur,
Thought we’d ride together, but life’s a cruel spur.
Nineteen years young, you had dreams to chase,
Now I’m out here, just a ghost in this place.
System turned its back, left us out to dry,
Every tear that I shed feels like a piece of my pride.
**[Pre-Chorus: female sounding like Beyoncé ]** *(Soft, haunting)*
Ooooh, the nights feel so long...
Ooooh, this pain’s like a song...
Ooooh, I whisper your name...
But the silence just echoes the same...
**[Chorus: Beyoncé]** *(Powerful, emotional)*
**Life not fair, life not fair, I swear...**
**Life not fair, life not fair, I swear...**
Tried to rise, but the hurt’s still there,
Lost in shadows, but I still care...
**Life not fair, life not fair, I swear...**
**Life not fair, life not fair, I swear...**
**[Verse 2: NuwaveRich]**
Every candle lit, I’m just searching for peace,
Memories haunt me, can’t find my release.
Faded pictures, they tell a story untold,
But the pain’s still fresh, it’s a weight I can’t hold.
They say time heals, but it’s just a disguise,
Every night I’m haunted, can’t escape these lies.
Should’ve been me, not you, it don’t feel right,
Now I’m lost in the dark, searching for the light.
**[Bridge: Beyoncé sound & NuwaveRich]** *(Harmonizing, climactic)*
I see your smile in my dreams... (In my dreams)
I hear your laughter in the streams... (In the streams)
Why’d you leave me here to grieve?
**Life’s a struggle... life’s a struggle... I swear...**
**[Outro: artist sound like future]** *(Fading, whisper-sung)*
Life’s a struggle... life’s a struggle... I swear...
Life’s a struggle... life’s a struggle... I swear...
