Life is hard, gotta grind every day Trying to make a living, but the bills don't pay Got dreams and goals, but they seem so far away Struggling to keep my head above water, come what may Every step I take, feels like I'm sinking in quicksand But I gotta keep moving, gotta stick to the plan No time for excuses, no time to be a bystander Gotta push through the struggle, gotta be a commander Life is hard, but I won't let it break me I'll rise above the challenges, just wait and see I'll keep pushing forward, no matter what they say I'll make it through the darkness, I'll find my own way I'll hustle and grind, till I reach the top I'll never give up, I'll never stop Life is hard, but I'll never surrender I'll fight for my dreams, I'll be a contender. Life is hard, but I'll never surrender I'll fight for my dreams, I'll be a contender. Verse 1: Yo, it's Eric in the place, I'm setting the pace Spitting fire on the mic, leaving a trace Of my lyrical skills, I'm bringing the thrill No one can touch me, I'm too real I'm on top of the game, no one can compete I'm the king of the streets, I bring the heat My rhymes are sharp like a knife I'm living the fast life, no time for strife Verse 2: I'm a lyrical genius, I'm on a mission To take over the game with my ambition I'm unstoppable, I'm untouchable I'm the one they all wanna be, I'm unbreakable I'm spitting rhymes that hit hard I'm leaving a mark, I'm raising the bar I'm the one they all fear I'm Eric, and I'm here to steer Out here making moves, I can't lose I'm the one they all choose To lead the way, to pave the path I'm Eric, and I'm here to last
