the challenge (when we overcome) - tarod rashon lyrics

[intro]
yo
pulse tone, waddup?
yeah, lemme k!ll it real quick
aight

[verse 1]
can i live
or is it too much to ask?
is my outstretched arm just too much to grab?
tryna stay out the bad spots–too bad we have lots
and because we have, we shun the have-nots
yeah i struggle with love, lust, and learning more
earnin’ more just so i can pack up and journey more
tryna make it to heaven or just earn a tour
as life’s ruler’s command to heat my furnace more
a certain door was opened, so yeah i stepped through
and met a messenger who said you’re one’a the select few
who’s got the heart to search, save, and rescue
those who don’t know hip-hop–make ’em respect you
we’ve fallen deaf to the truth
traded in the bigger picture just so we could have the proof
that all the bad we do is justified
not knowin’ it’s just a lie
so i’m askin’ you to rise to

[hook]
the challenge
every day a new test
some draw out the worst, most bring out ya true best
be it strength for the mind or the chest
can’t deny the simple fact that we’re blessed
when we overcome the challenge
every day a new test
some draw out the worst, most bring out ya true best
be it strength for the mind or the chest
can’t deny the simple fact that we’re blessed
when we overcome

[verse 2]
i got a bunch’a hurdles with my name on ’em
insecurity, fear, doubt, and pain on ’em
stained on ’em
yet i know i gotta get over myself
before i can change the game on ’em
inward struggle is the spawn of my outward war
battlescars are covered up before i walk out the door
more or less, i find myself morally vexed
ain’t had the kitty but i’m feelin’ oversexed
see, tryna stay simple becomes complex
not doin’ better equals doin’ our best why?
unless we clean our mess
no pleas for world peace for the ron artest
which means, we can’t breathe if we save all breath
and not exhale change and pay all debts
yes, i took my step, tryna make progress
and i will not rest til i feel i’m blessed by

[verse 3]
hip-hop’s leanin’ on me like a wallflower
so i’m leanin’ on the one who has all power
too many rappers lookin’ sweet–they all sour
until they all look up at me
and start bowin
enemies are my footstool
i couldn’t think of any other place i would put you
doin’ everything opposite that you could do
among the hood news i’m spreadin’ good news
tryna show the game everything it could use
tryna show the ladies to pursue the good dudes
tryna show the kids how to build up good views
they are the future–without autotune
we gotta do better
it starts by learnin’ from yesterday
truth, unlike lies, won’t blind eyes like pepper spray
so lemme rain on the fairweather ways
like joe, i promote the hope of better days through

[outro]
wh-wh-when we overcome
when-we, when-we, when we overcome
listen
you can’t deny the simple fact that we’re blessed when we overcome
overcome
yo
we all face challenges
that’s the test of life
we go through so much
but, if you believe you can make it
yo
regardless of your struggle
if you believe in your dream
you will overcome
believe it
yeah
uhh
