It Ain't Easy

Keepin' it real

I take a shot of Hennessy, now I'm strong enough to face the madness

Nickel bag full of sess, weed laced with hash

Phone calls from the my **** on the other side

Two childhood friends just died, I couldn't cry

A damn shame, when will we ever change?

And what remains from a twelve gauge to the brain

Arguments with my boo, it's true

I spend more time with my **** than I do with you

But everywhere it's the same thing, that's the game

I'll be damned if a thing changed, fuck the fame

I'll be hustling to make a million, Lord knows

Ain't no love for us ghetto children, so we cold

Rag top slowing down, time to stop for gas

Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass

It ain't easy, that's my motto

Drinking Tanqueray straight out the bottle

Everybody wanna know if I'm insane

My baby mama got a mind full of silly games

And all the drama got me stressing like I'm hopeless, I can't cope

Me and the homies smokin' roaches 'cause we broke

Late night hanging out till the sunrise, getting high

Watching the cops roll by

It ain't easy

That's right

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

I can't sleep, **** plotting on me, kill me while I'm dreaming

Wake up sweaty and screaming 'cause I can hear them suckers scheming

Probably paranoid, problem is, them punks be fantasizing

A brother bite the bullet, open fire and I died

I wonder why? That's just the way it is, even now

Looking out for these killer kids, 'cause they wild

Bill Clinton, can you recognize a **** representing

Doing twenty to life in San Quentin

Getting calls from my **** Mike Tyson, ain't nothing nice

Yo Pac, do something righteous with your life

And even though you innocent, you still a ****, so they figure

Rather have you behind bars than triggers

But I'ma hold ya down, holla thug life, licking shots

Till I see my **** free on the block

But no, it ain't easy

Till I see my **** free on the block, oh

It ain't easy

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary?

Lately been reminiscing

'Bout Peppermint Schnapps in junior high hit the block

Keep an eye on the cops while D-Boys slang rocks

Just project kid without a conscience, I'm having dreams

Of hearing screams at my concerts, me all my childhood peers

Through the years trying to stack a little green

I was only seventeen, when I started serving fiends

And I wish there was another way to stack a dollar

Sold my Impala 'cause these hard times make me wanna holla

Will I live to see tomorrow, am I falling off?

I hit the weed and then proceed to say, fuck all of y'all

Ain't nobody down with me, I'm thugging, I can't go home

'Cause muhfuckers think I'm bugging

So now I'm in this high powered cell at the county jail

Punk judge got a grudge, can't post no bail

What do I do in these county blues?

Getting battered and bruised by the you know who

And these fakes get to shaking when they face me

Snakes ain't got enough nuts to replace me

Sitting in this living hell, listening to **** yell

They're tryna torture him to tell, I'm getting mail

But ain't nobody saying much, the same old nuts

Is making bucks while these sluts is getting fucked

They violated my probation

And it seems I'll be going on a long vacation

Meanwhile, it ain't easy

No, it ain't easy

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?
