Life Is Hard

Life is hard, Hope I make it, It’s a risk, But I’m gonna 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. Hear you across the nation, Yelling at me like a constipation, Doing them drugs cause your mama pacing. Life is hard. And it’s gonna make it harder to flip & shake it So I’ma make it harder to bake it, For mama & papa who only smoke or vape it, Anyway if a vapor talks to me I send right back to the police. Life is hard, I grew up in the trenches, life is hard Everyday is a struggle, gotta stay on guard Hustling on the block, trying to make ends meet Got my eyes on the prize, ain't no time for defeat Raised in the hood, where the streets don't play Gotta watch your back, ain't no room for delay Money on my mind, gotta stack that bread Gotta stay focused, keep a level head Life is hard, but I'm built for the grind Gotta keep pushing, ain't no time to unwind Survival of the fittest, gotta stay strong In this cold world, where the weak don't belong I've seen it all, been through the pain But I refuse to let it drive me insane I wear my scars like a badge of honor In this life full of drama, I'm a true warrior Life is hard, but I'm still standing tall Through the struggles and the strife, I'll never fall I'm a product of my environment, a true savage In this game of life, I'm the one who's gonna manage Life is hard, gotta grind every day Struggles and pain, won't go away Lost in the dark, tryna find my way But I won't give up, I'm here to stay Hustle and flow, gotta chase that dream Life ain't easy, nothing is what it seems Stuck in the cycle, caught in between But I'll keep pushing, gotta stay keen Friends turn to foes, snakes in the grass But I'll rise above, won't let them pass Keep my head high, never look back Life is hard, but I'll stay on track Every setback, just a lesson learned I'll keep moving forward, bridges burned No time for regrets, no time to yearn Life is hard, but it's my turn.
