I take a shot of Hennessy Now I´m strong enough to face the madness Nickel bag full of cess weed laced with hash
Phone calls from my niggas 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 niggas than I do with you But everywhere it´s the same thang That´s the game, I´ll be damned if a thang changed Fuck the fame, I´ll be hustlin´ to make a million Lord knows ain´t no love for us ghetto children So we cold, Rag-top slowin´ down, time to stop for gas Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass Uh, it ain´t easy, that´s my motto Drinkin´ 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 stressin´ like I´m hopeless I can´t cope, me and the homies smokin´ roaches ´Cause we broke, late night, hangin´ out ´til the sunrise Gettin´ high, watchin´ the cops roll by It ain´t easy; that´s right, it ain´t easy
—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, niggas plottin´ on me, kill me while I´m dreamin´
Wake up sweaty and screamin´ ´Cause I can hear them suckers schemin´ Probably paranoid, problem is them punks be fantasizin´ A brother bite the bullet, open fire and I died I wonder why, it´s just the way it is, even now Lookin´ out for these killa kids ´cause they wild Bill Clinton, can you recognize a nigga representin´ Doin´ twenty to life in San Quentin? Gettin´ calls from my nigga Mike Tyson, ain´t nothin´ nice Yo ´Pac, do somethin´ righteous with your life And even though you´re innocent you still a nigga So they figure, rather have you behind bars than triggers But I´ma hold you down and holla Thug Life Lickin´ shots ´til I see my niggas free on the block
But no, it ain´t easy, ha ha ha ´Til I see my niggas free on the block, uh, 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 reminiscin´ about Peppermint Schnapps In Junior High hit the block Keep an eye on the cops while d-boys slang rocks Just a project kid without a conscience I´m havin´ dreams of hearin´ screams at my concerts Me and all my childhood peers
Through the years tryin´ to stack a little green I was only seventeen when I started servin´ fiends And I wish there was another way to stack a dolla Sold my Impala ´cause these hard times make me wanna holla Will I live to see tomorrow? Am I fallin´ off? I hit the weed and then proceed to say: "Fuck all of y´all!" Ain´t nobody down with me, I´m thuggin´ I can´t go home, ´cause muh´fuckers think I´m buggin´ 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? Gettin´ battered and bruised by the you-know-who And these fakes get to shakin´ when they face me
Snakes ain´t got enough nuts to replace me Sittin´ in this livin´ hell, listenin´ to niggas yell Tryin´ to torture ´em to tell, I´m gettin´ mail But ain´t nobody sayin´ much, the same old nuts Is makin´ bucks while these sluts is gettin´ fucked They violated my probation And it seems I´ll be goin´ 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?
