Life is hard, Hope I make it, It’s a risk, But I’ll take it, Feeling like I’m living Stuck in the basement, I’m just trying To get a higher placement, Life is hard, But I’ll make it, I can’t wait a long time I’m anxious, I’ve just gotta get off The pavement, So they hear me across The nation, Life is hard. Life is hard, gotta grind every day Hustle for that paper, ain't no other way Struggles and pain, but I still maintain Rise above the hate, keep pushing through the rain No time for excuses, gotta stay focused Got dreams to chase, can't be hopeless Every setback just a lesson learned Gotta keep moving, bridges gotta be burned Life ain't fair, but I'm still here Fight through the struggle, conquer the fear No handouts, gotta earn my keep In this game of life, ain't no time for sleep Keep my head up, eyes on the prize Gotta stay strong, no room for compromise Life is hard, but I'll never quit I'll keep pushing forward, never gonna submit Life is hard, gotta stay on my guard Workin' so damn hard, tryna reach the stars Strugglin' every day, tryna find my way But I won't give up, no matter what they say Life is a battle, gotta stay in the saddle Hustlin' for my dreams, no time for rattle Keep pushin' through, gotta stay true Even when the sky is gray and the road is askew Life is a test, gotta give it my best Fightin' through the stress, never settle for less I'm on a mission, no time for division Grindin' every day, no time for indecision Life is a journey, gotta keep movin' forward Even when it's tough, gotta stay untoward I'll never back down, I'll never lose my crown Life is hard, but I'll never let it bring me down.
