Life is hard, gotta grind every day In these streets, ain't no time to play Got my mind focused, gotta stay on my grind Gotta hustle hard, gotta get what's mine Growing up, I had to learn the hard way Had to watch my back, had to watch what I say Life ain't fair, gotta fight to survive Gotta stay strong, gotta keep my drive Money on my mind, gotta stack that cash Ain't no shortcuts, gotta put in that dash Life is hard, but I'm built for the struggle I'll never fold, I'll never crumble Gotta stay true to myself, gotta stay real In this world full of fakes, gotta trust my steel Life is hard, but I'm tougher than nails I'll keep pushing forward, I'll never fail.
