    I can see it
    It's funny man
    Cause it's like it's not going nowhere
    And you gon' see it wherever there's struggle

    I see my pain in your eyes man
    So I know you're feelin' me
    It's that twinkle man
    That sign of struggle
    I've seen it in me

    Cause everyday I can't help but see it
    People ain't satisfied
    And you're hatin' your 9 to 5
    Everybody wanna live another life

    But ain't no goal or mountain you climb
    Not to better your day
    That do leave room for people to say
    I guess you're livin' better now
    Share a little of that cheddar now

    Cause I remember days back when
    A brother was hustlin and robbin' too
    I done tossed up a letter now
    On a whole nother level now
    Still I can't enjoy my fame
    Unless my people doin' the same
    And gettin' money too

    Once in awhile I couldn't look at you
    Once in awhile
    and see the twinkle in your eyes

    And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more

    Once in awhile I choose look at you
    and see the twinkle in your eyes

    And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more

    Cause every time you ask me, I'm grinding
    It shouldn't have to be that way
    You shouldn't have to pay my way
    I shouldn't have to want for a brighter day
    Got a little little problem on the way

    Bounty hunters checkin' state to state
    Child support lady on your case
    Not to mention tickets you ain't ever paid

    Oh is what you'll be askin'
    God please hold it down for me
    Don't let Satan get a hold of me
    I'm tryin' to tell you it can happen to me too

    But it happened a lot worse to my brother
    Muhammad thank God he recovered

    Once in awhile I choose look at you
    Once in awhile I choose
    and see the twinkle in your eyes

    And I can see that you never wanna struggle no more
    Once in awhile I could look at you
    Once in awhile
    and see the twinkle in your eyes

    And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
    Once in awhile I choose look at you
    I see your pain now

    I can feel you strain now
    And I can see you cryin'
    And inside you're dyin
    We're all the same now
    But you got to make change now

    Once in awhile I choose look at you
    Once in awhile
    and see the twinkle in your eyes
    Twinkle in you
    And I can see that you don't ever struggle no more

    Once in awhile I choose look at you
    Once in awhile
    and see the twinkle in your eyes

    And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
    Don't wanna cry no more
    And I can see that you don't ever want to struggle no more

    And I can see that you don't ever wanna cry no more
