Lyrics to Struggle No More :
(feat. Jaheim, Musiq)

Ooh I'm Ooh I'm (sick and tired sick and tired) Ooh I'm
Ooh I'm Ooh I'm (sick and tired sick and tired) Ooh I'm
Ooh I'm Ooh I'm (sick and tired sick and tired) Ooh I'm
Ooh I'm Ooh I'm (sick and tired sick and tired) Ooh I'm

Lately It's been hard times
I'm talking about them
Financial ones aside
And they say when it rains it pours
Well it's running at my door
If it ain't one thang (one thang) it's another
And I'm so glad that we got each other
I'm so sick and tired of being stressed out
Lord please help me from this mess I'm in

Lord lift me over the hurt and pain
Deliver me from the rain
See I don't wanna stress over stress no more
I don't wanna strug-gle no more
So lift me up over the hurt and pain
Deliver me from the rain
See I don't wanna stress over stress no more
I don't wanna strug-gle no more

Every day every night I pray
Lord help me find the way (help me find my way)
To stay strong
And to keep my sanity
So I can provide for myself
And for my family
I'm so glad they believe in me cause the love it gives me energy (said the love gives me energy)
And with out them I couldn't make it no way
So I'ma keep pressing on on and on
Lord lift me over the hurt and pain
Deliver me from the rain
See I don't wanna stress over stress no more
I don't wanna struggle no more
So lift me up over the hurt and pain
Deliver me from the rain
See I don't wanna stress over stress no more
I don't wanna struggle no more

I wanna see my family
Get what they want have what they want get what they need
(I wanna see the finer things like the ???? just reminding me)
I don't wanna strug-struggle no more
I don't wanna live out here broke
(Stay on the scene with the finer things, like the spot that I got that's reminding me)

Lord lift me over the hurt and pain
Deliver me from the rain
See I don't wanna stress over stress no more
I don't wanna struggle no more
So lift me up over the hurt and pain
Deliver me from the rain
See I don't wanna stress over stress no more
I don't wanna struggle no more

No more no more no more
No more no more no more
No more no more no more
No more no more no more

===================================================================

This song is supposedly R&B but the tempo, emphasis on voice, and use of a background choir reveals it to be quite gospel. I think everyone can identify with this song as many of us struggle day to day to pay the rent, groceries, etc and this idea of faith in one's God to aid the righteous is a true reflection of most black Christian faiths. Growing up in the Baptist church, I was exposed to many powerful gospel performances but there times in this song(mainly Anthony Hamilton's ending part) where the singers are literally calling out to God with such conviction that one can not help but get goosebumps. The ferocity with which the men sing the lyrics emphasizes the idea of struggle and adds endless authenticity to the song.
