Ashanti - I Know

[Intro: Irv Gotti]
Dear Lord
I come to You a humble man
Asking your forgiveness for all my sins that I have committed throughout my life
And Lord, I ask of You one more thing
Have mercy on the souls of my enemies, for they not know what they do
As we proceed, chapter two

[Chorus: Ashanti]
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder every day
But I know we can't stop living this way

[Verse 1: Ashanti]
Some days, I would say, 'there's got to be a better way'
I don't know if I wanna live my life like this for each and every day
But now I've found that I've got to stay
Even though it gets hard, I've came this far
And I can't live my life no other way

[Chorus: Ashanti]
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder every day
But I know we can't stop living this way

[Verse 2: Ashanti]
I tried to figure out if there's another path for me
'Cause all of these ups and downs and in's and out's be kind of stressing me
But I could never see myself
Living like nothing else, it's hard to tell
But damn, I know this life too well

[Bridge: Ashanti]
Sometimes, people just don't know
What they know and what to follow
Even when it don't seem right
Give up buddy, live your life

[Chorus: Ashanti]
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder every day
But I know we can't stop living this way

[Interlude: Ashanti]
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

[Chorus: Ashanti]
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder every day
But I know we can't stop living this way
I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder every day
But I know we can't stop living this way

[Outro: Irv Gotti]
Yeah
For all my peoples
Living that everyday life
Sometimes you gon' have ups, sometimes you gon' have downs
Fight through that, y'all
Keep pushing it
Don't ever stop pushing, y'all
Don't ever stop believing
Take the good with the bad
You know?
It's gon' be alright
You know what I mean, [?]?
