Look, I want only just to make rhymes And sedate minds I work on music in the day time And when I'm home, sometimes I break night That's ok, right? I'm not afraid I have a great life But I want only just to make rhymes And sedate minds And make my way Through the state lines I know one day I will be paid fine And I'll change lives In many ways, just from great rhymes Look 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
