Jimmy Cliff - Struggling Man Lyrics






Every man has a right to live
Love is all that we have to give
Together we struggle by our will to survive
And together we fight just to stay alive

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

As the sun lights the day and the moon lights the night
Struggling man keeps reaching for the higher heights
So we plan for tomorrow as we live for today
Like a flower we bloom, and then later fade away

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

Struggling man has got to move
Struggling man no time to lose
I'm a struggling man
And I've got to move on

Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man
Struggling man, struggling man

    This song reminds of the long warm summer days at my grandpas that melted together into one long fever dream. Taking long runs in the warm sunshine, almost dying from heat stroke and cracking up a coke in the cool shadow under the old weathered parasol. Those were the times maen. Best grandpa.

    our roots beat and music is an ID that makes we blacks unique among us, I personally don't like whites having there fucking dumb ass comments about our music. go yodle man

  38. s.... ....

    The song that carried me through my first few years as an African diasporan in the US...this whole CD is my fav. by Cliff

  39. L.... J....

    I still prefer this version.

  40. N.... W....

    Google it mother fuckers,. this is the version my black ass likes

  41. w.... D....

    Nothing will change until the masses unite against their oppressors..The people must know that God create ONE HUMAN RACE AND THEY ARE CALLED ONE PEOPLE. NOT BLACK, BLUE, YELLOW, BROWN, NOR WHITE......WE MUST GIVE UP THE LABELS THAT EUROPE FASCIST PARTY INVENTED TO KEEP THEIR ELITES FRIENDS IN CONTROL FOREVER...THE MASSES MUST WAKE UP FROM THEIR SLEEP

  42. A.... J....

    Jimmy Cliff is timeless.
    His songs ever so beautiful.

  43. J.... C....

    Damn, such a perfect song for tyreese’ character. The entire song, especially the chorus, completely describes tyreese

  49. V.... V....

    Ohhhhhh Yeeeaaaa :D)))

    Nobody tells it like Jimmy. He speaks for the poor and powerless, always has always will. My Hero.

  51. D.... N....

    HAHA everyone came here just after The Walking dead. Glad our music tastes match. Beth's version was soothing though

  52. T.... ....

    I was under the impression that the cover by Beth on the Walking Dead was an original by the actress, since she is a musician as well. I'm so glad I found out the truth and discovered this man, great music!

    a.... ....

    Emily plays Beth Greene on The Walking Dead... RIP Beth

    a.... ....

    @LauraThePanda ok

  68. C.... J....

    Its ok. Emily Kinney sang it beautifully. #RIPTyreese

  69. s.... s....

    this is a black man song

    s.... s....

    @Bantze Hotep "the struggle" or " "the cause" is the struggle for the liberation of all people not just one specific race. Let people enjoy the music man.

    s.... s....

    @Abiasaf López What are your struggles? Do you mind to enunciate? Every black person knows the struggle of being black. You are attempting to be disingenuous. Jimmy Cliff is a very conscious brother. Ask him how many times he has visited Africa.

    s.... s....

    @Bantze Hotep the struggle isn't about race my friend."the struggle" as a concept in different cultures is the struggle for a free and just society. in spanish its known as "la lucha" ,its the fight for justice against government injustice, oppression and exploitation. the struggle isn't about race, its about the struggle of the working class against the ruling class.

    s.... s....

    @Abiasaf López Until the philosophy which owes one race to superior to another is abandoned and discredited, it is war == Bob Marley. We black people don't need anybody to tell us what is our struggle. My struggle is not your struggle. I bet you just started listening to Jimmy Cliff. I have been listening to Jimmy when I was 4 years ago.

    I'd say that I like Emily Kinney's version better but I'll be sacrificed for it so nevermind

    m.... w....

  72. a.... G....

    A Roots Reggae version would sound pretty cool. I'd just like to hear what it sound like. More soul less funk if that makes sense.
