[Intro: Bizarre]
It`s the struggle, man. It`s the struggle, man. Trying to make it
[Hook: Monica Blaire]
So hard, so hard, living this life
You got a gift, keep moving on, no matter the price
I`ve got a fam to think about, it`s no quitting now
I`ve got to keep pushing, display I know how
[Verse 1]
Without this rap shit, I don`t know what I would do
I would probably be carrying a gun, point it at you (Blaow!)
At friday night, in St. Andrews, vibing
Rhyming for ten years, i`m out here striving
Consistently struggling, trying to make it
Follow your dreams, homeboy, just take it
Still on a right path, stay focused, no swerving
Make the room turn and it`s curtains
I`m out here hurting, looking for a job
`84 Regal, listening to Odd Squad
Doing talent shows, sleeping in cars
Homeless in New York, trying to be a star
[Hook: Monica Blaire]
So hard, so hard, living this life
You got a gift, keep moving on, no matter the price
I`ve got a fam to think about, it`s no quitting now
I`ve got to keep pushing, display I know how
[Verse 2]
Yeah, imma go make my way, that`s why I will always get by
Never met my dad but I`ve heard he was a good guy
And my mother did her best living without a spouse
Got off work at 2:30, just to let me in the house
And every Friday my grandfather: «Imma take you fishing»
And every Saturday he would come up missing
Got to find a way to get paid, my mother on nurse`s aid
Got me massaging her back and rubbing on shoulder blades
Took me off the 7 Mile to the suburban schools
But she never knew I`ll be acting a damn fool
But it`s cool and I learned my lesson
Never ever-ever forget to count your blessings
[Hook: Monica Blaire]
So hard, so hard, living this life
You got a gift, keep moving on, no matter the price
I`ve got a fam to think about, it`s no quitting now
I`ve got to keep pushing, display I know how
[Verse 3]
Denaun, Swift and Kuniva, i`m talking to y`all
Till the day I die you will be my dawgs
Since Proof left it`s been a long ride
I can see it in Dolo`s eyes, he still wanna cry
Doing a hundred songs, ready to go on tour
Wishing my homeboy would open up his door
And listen (shh) stop bitching
Putting his homeboys in a fucked up position
And I ain`t out here stunting, driving on Bentleys
Von, if I had the right blood, I would get your son a kidney
And I was to get 5 million in 5 days?
Guess what? Imma split it 5 ways (D12)
[Hook: Monica Blaire]
So hard, so hard, living this life
You got a gift, keep moving on, no matter the price
I`ve got a fam to think about, it`s no quitting now
I`ve got to keep pushing, display I know how
