[Chorus]
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a...
[Verse 1]
f** the DA, f** the P.O
f** the president, f** the Popo
They follow me, wanna keep me close
Try to hold me back, let me go
I sip the drank I sip the drank
Pick up the phone and call Michel'le
She hold me down, I gotta make the plan
If the plan don't get me, then I don't care
Look in my eyes and tell me what you see
A whole lot of lives depended on me
But I hold it down, I hold it down
I check in when I'm not in town
Put on a smile girl, put on a smile
Its a lot on my shoulders, I gotta balance it out
Put on a smile girl, put on a smile
I take care of you and that child
[Chorus]
It's harder for a real n***a (hey)
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a...
[Verse 2]
Gotta go to the courthouse
Judge ain't giving a f**, oww
My fingerprints is they evidence
What the f** I'ma do now?
So hold me tight, hold me close
My lifestyle got me doin' the most
f** that, let's make a toast
The Lord keep us alive, he never take our soul
I'm prayin' up, I'm prayin' up
This a must that I can't sleep I stay up
Pops told me to change up but if I change up they gonna say I changed up
When everybody depend on you, you got nobody to run to
You got nobody to come to, when they come through you feel like f** you
[Chorus]
It's harder for a real n***a (hey)
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a real n***a
It's ten times harder for a...
[Outro]
Lord (Lord), please (please give), give us the life (gimme life), we need (life we need), please (please Lord)
