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. Every day's a struggle, gotta play my cards No time for weakness, gotta stay on guard Tryna make a living, tryna go far Money on my mind, gotta chase that bag Hustle every day, never gonna lag People tryna bring me down, but I won't sag I'm a savage in these streets, I'll never drag Life is hard, but I'm built for this I've been through the pain, I won't miss Gotta stay strong, gotta persist In this cold world, I'll always persist I've seen friends fall, I've seen dreams shatter But I keep pushing on, I won't scatter I'm a warrior, I won't flatter In this life of struggle, I'll be the master
