Lyrics

[00:01.680][Ad-lib]
[00:02.510] Keepin' it real
[00:04.900][Verse 1]
[00:20.200] I take a shot of Hennessy, now I'm strong enough to face the madness
[00:23.590] Nickel bag full of cess weed laced with hash
[00:26.100] Phone calls from my niggas on the, other side
[00:28.860] Two childhood friends just died, I couldn't cry
[00:31.860] A damn shame, when will we ever change?
[00:34.500] And what remains from a twelve gauge to the brain?
[00:37.200] Arguments with my Boo, it's true
[00:39.230] I spend mo' time with my niggas than I do with you
[00:41.880] But everywhere it's the same thang, that's the game
[00:44.570] I'll be damned if a thang changed, **** the fame
[00:47.190] I'll be hustlin' to make a mill-ion
[00:49.230] Lord knows ain't no love for us ghetto children
[00:51.940] So we cold, Rag-top slowin' down, time to stop for gas
[00:55.270] Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass, uhh
[00:58.460] It ain't easy, that's my motto
[01:00.740] Drinkin' Tanqueray straight out the bottle
[01:02.600] Everybody wanna know if I'm insane
[01:05.120] My baby mama gotta mind full of silly games
[01:07.890] And all the drama got me stressin' like I'm hopeless
[01:10.550] I can't cope me and the homies smokin' roaches
[01:13.270] Cause we broke late night hangin' out 'til the sunrise gettin' high
[01:17.190] Watchin' the cops roll by
[01:19.120] It ain't easy... that's right... it ain't easy
[01:25.890][Hook]
[01:26.660] ...Easy, being me
[01:27.400] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[01:30.560] It ain't easy, being me
[01:32.430] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[01:35.860] It ain't easy, being me
[01:37.820] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[01:40.570][Verse 2]
[01:40.810] I can't sleep, niggas plottin' on me, kill me while I'm dreamin'
[01:43.000] Wake up sweaty and screamin', cause I can hear them suckers schemin'
[01:45.720] Probably paranoid, problem is, them punks be fantasizin'
[01:48.490] A brother bite the bullet, open fire and I died
[01:51.000] I wonder why this just the way it is
[01:53.010] Even now lookin' out for these killa kids
[01:55.730] Cause they wild
[01:56.670] Bill Clinton can you recognize a nigga representin'
[01:59.130] Doin' twenty to life in San Quentin
[02:01.370] Gettin' calls from my nigga Mike Tyson, ain't nuttin' nice
[02:04.500] Yo 'Pac, do something righteous witcha life
[02:06.390] And even though you're innocent you still a nigga, so they figure, rather have you behind bars than triggers
[02:12.020] But I'm hold ya down and holla Thug Life
[02:14.300] Lickin' shots 'til I see my niggas free on the block
[02:17.420] But no it ain't easy, hahahah
[02:20.660] 'Til I see my niggas free on the block, uh
[02:23.070] It ain't easy
[02:24.690][Hook]
[02:29.500] It ain't easy, being me
[02:31.080] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[02:34.480] It ain't easy, being me
[02:36.410] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[02:39.910] It ain't easy, being me
[02:41.660] Will I see the penitentiary?..
[02:43.380][Verse 3]
[02:43.610] Lately been reminiscin'
[02:44.170] 'Bout Peppermint Schnapps in Junior High hit the block
[02:46.980] Keep an eye on the cops while D-Boys slang rocks
[02:49.730] Just a project kid without a conscience, I'm havin' dreams
[02:52.820] Of hearin' screams at my concerts
[02:54.540] Me and all my childhood peers through the years tryin' to stack a little green
[02:58.330] I was only seventeen, when I started servin' fiends
[03:01.170] And I wish there was another way to stack a dolla
[03:03.380] Sold my Impala cause these hard times make me wanna holla
[03:06.360] Will I live to see tomorrow, am I fallin' off?
[03:08.780] I hit the weed and then proceed to say **** all of y'all
[03:11.360] Ain't nobody down with me I'm thuggin'
[03:13.060] I can't go home 'cause muh-****ers think I'm buggin'
[03:15.650] So now I'm in this high powered cell at the county jail
[03:18.840] Punk judge got a grudge, can't post no bail
[03:21.520] What, do I do in these county blues
[03:24.000] Gettin' battered and bruised by the you know who
[03:26.580] And these fakes get to shakin' when they face me
[03:29.080] Snakes ain't got enough nuts to replace me
[03:31.800] Sittin' in this, livin' hell, listenin' to niggas yell
[03:35.410] Tryna torture 'em to tell, I'm gettin' mail
[03:38.130] But ain't nobody sayin' much, the same old nuts
[03:40.710] Is makin' bucks while these sluts is gettin' ****ed
[03:42.950] They violated my probation
[03:44.740] And it seems I'll be goin' on a long vacation
[03:48.010] Meanwhile it ain't easy..
[03:53.190] No it ain't easy
[03:54.400][Hook]
[03:54.670] It ain't easy, being me
[03:56.040] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[03:59.250] It ain't easy, being me
[04:01.210] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[04:04.520] It ain't easy, being me
[04:06.530] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[04:09.860] It ain't easy, being me
[04:11.800] Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free?
[04:15.080] It ain't easy, being me
