Lyrics

[00:00.89] It Ain't Easy
[00:01.71]
[00:03.59] Keepin it real
[00:04.07]
[00:20.59] I take a shot of Henessey now I'm strong enough to face the madness
[00:23.80] Nickel bag full of sess weed laced with hash
[00:26.31] Phone calls from my niggaz on the, other side
[00:28.85] Two childhood friends just died, I couldn't cry
[00:32.04] A damn shame, when will we ever change
[00:34.65] And what remains from a twelve gauge to the brain
[00:37.35] Arguements with my Boo is true
[00:39.38] I spend mo' time with my niggaz than I do with you
[00:42.16] But everywhere it's the same thang, that's the game
[00:44.90] I'll be damned if a thang changed, fuck the fame
[00:47.60] I'll be hustling to make a mill-ion, lord knows
[00:50.22] Ain't no love for us ghetto children, so we cold
[00:52.99] Rag top slowin down, time to stop for gas
[00:55.60] Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass, uhh
[00:58.23] It ain't easy, that's my motto
[01:01.09] Drinkin Tanqueray straight out the bottle
[01:03.10] Everybody wanna know if I'm insane
[01:05.23] My baby mama gotta mind full of silly games
[01:08.01] And all the drama got me stressin like I'm hopeless, I can't cope
[01:11.18] Me and the homies smokin roaches, cause we broke
[01:14.19] Late night hangin out til the sunrise gettin high
[01:17.07] Watchin the cops roll by
[01:19.44] It ain't easy... that's right
[01:23.78]
[01:24.89] It ain't easy, being me
[01:27.44] Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free
[01:30.48]
[01:40.74] I can't sleep niggaz plottin on to kill me while I'm dreamin
[01:43.35] Wake up sweaty and screamin, cause I can hear them suckers schemin
[01:46.15] Probably paranoid, problem is, them punks be fantasizin
[01:48.88] A brother bite the bullet, open fire and I died
[01:51.26] I wonder why this the way it is, even now
[01:53.83] Lookin out for these killer kids, cause they wild
[01:56.60] Bill Clinton can you recognize a nigga representin
[01:59.24] Doin twenty to life in San Quentin
[02:01.42] Gettin calls from my nigga Mike Tyson, ain't nuttin nice
[02:04.63] Yo 'Pac, do something righteous witcha life
[02:06.75] And even thou you innocent you still a nigga, so they figure
[02:09.72] Rather have you behind bars than triggers
[02:12.09] But I'm hold ya down and holla Thug Life, lickin shots
[02:15.08] Til I see my niggaz free on the block
[02:17.33] But no it ain't easy, hahahah
[02:20.71] Til I see my niggaz free, on the block, oh
[02:22.92] It ain't easy
[02:24.35]
[02:43.38] Lately been reminiscin
[02:44.80] bout Peppermint Schnapps in Junior High hit the block
[02:46.94] Keep an eye on the cops while D-Boys slang rocks
[02:49.59] It's the project kid without a conscience, I'm havin dreams
[02:52.48] of hearin screams at my concerts, me all my childhood peers
[02:56.17] through the years tryin to stack a little green
[02:58.24] I was only seventeen, when I started servin fiends
[03:00.72] And I wish there was another way to stack a dollar
[03:03.24] So my apoli', casue these hard times make me wanna holler
[03:06.09] Will I live to see tommorrow, am I fallin off?
[03:08.49] I hit the weed and then proceed to say fuck all of y'all
[03:11.00] Ain't nobody down with me I'm thuggin, I can't go home
[03:13.72] Cause muh-fuckers think I'm buggin, so now I'm in
[03:16.33] this high powered cell at the county jail
[03:18.56] Punk judge got a grudge, can't post no bail, what
[03:21.59] do I do in these county blues
[03:23.85] Gettin battered and bruised by the you know who
[03:26.53] And these fakes get to shakin when they face me
[03:29.16] Snakes ain't got enough nuts to replace me
[03:33.07] Sittin in this, livin hell, listenin to niggaz yell
[03:35.16] Tryin to torture em to tell, I'm gettin mail
[03:37.54] But ain't nobody sayin much, the same old nuts
[03:40.34] is makin bucks while these sluts is gettin fucked
[03:42.75] They violated my probation, and it seems
[03:45.43] I'll be goin on a long vacation, meanwhile
[03:49.03] It ain't easy
[03:53.01] No it ain't easy
[03:54.36]
