issa ali - the strength lyrics
[sample]
“if you had the strength, to walk out that door” (x2)
[verse 1: issa]
what if you had the strength of a single mother
working nine to five and come home and cook for others?
what if you had the strength to love your enemies
didn’t hold grudges over bad memories?
what if you had the strength to not gossip
’cause you realized you haven’t cleaned your own closet?
what if you had the strength to not be jealous
but to be happy for those doing better?
what if you had the strength to deal with problems in life
with a natural mind, without getting high?
what if you had the strength to swallow your pride
cut the hoes off and make your down chick your bride?
strength…
strength
[verse 2: issa]
what if you had the strength to be a single father
with the painful reality that your daughter is gonna be a woman?
what if you had the strength to be a celebrity
paparazzi all up in your sh-t, won’t let you breathe?
what if you had the strength to turn down fifty million to tell them, shove it up ‘they -ss like chappelle did?
what if you had the strength to overcome addiction
cold turkey, locked up in a room like coltrane did?
what if you had the strength to give your last food to
somebody who needs it more than you do?
what if you had the strength to be told a secret
and actually keep it?
strength…
strength
[verse 3: issa]
what if you had the strength to be locked in the cellar
for what you believed in like nelson mandela?
what if you had the strength to talk less, listen more
margin for error less?
what if you had the strength to be still
quiet the mind, open phone lines for the divine?
what if you had the strength to overcome comfortable
l-st for something indestructible?
what if you had the strength to be raised in foster homes
with the feeling like no body wants you, left alone?
what if you had the strength not to know your old man
wasn’t there to be a dad but you gave him a second chance?
strength
