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, ain't no denying Gotta stay strong, keep on surviving In these streets, it's do or die Gotta hustle hard just to get by Every day is a struggle, gotta stay on my grind Ain't no time for slippin', gotta stay on the climb Life ain't fair, but I'm still here Gotta keep pushing through the fear I've seen it all, the pain and the struggle But I ain't never gonna crumble I'm a soldier, I'll never surrender I'll keep fighting till the end, no pretender Life is hard, but I'm still standing tall I'll never let it bring me down, I'll never fall I'll keep pushing, keep grinding, keep shining Life is hard, but I'll keep on climbing Life is hard, gotta hustle every day Trying to make a living, but the bills don't go away Struggling to survive in this world so cold But I keep pushing forward, never do what I'm told Every step I take, feels like I'm sinking in quicksand But I refuse to give up, gotta make a stand No handouts, gotta grind for every dime In this game of life, gotta stay on the climb People judge me, say I'll never make it far But I'll prove them wrong, I'm a shining star I'll overcome the obstacles, I'll beat the odds I'll keep moving forward, I'll never stop, no facade Life is hard, but I'm tougher than steel I'll keep fighting, I'll never kneel I'll persevere, I'll break through the strife Because no matter what, I'll make the most out of life. Life is hard, yeah it's a struggle every day Trying to make it through, find a better way Got bills to pay, and mouths to feed No time to rest, no time to breathe Gotta hustle, grind, gotta stay on my grind No time for excuses, no time to unwind Every day is a battle, every day is a fight But I'll keep pushing on, with all my might Life is hard, but I won't give up I'll keep pushing forward, I won't stop Gotta keep my head up, gotta stay strong No matter what happens, I'll keep moving along Through the ups and downs, through the pain and the tears I'll keep pushing through, overcoming my fears Life is hard, but I'll keep on fighting I'll keep on striving, I'll keep on surviving
