Apathy - Hard Times On Planet Earth lyrics

[Intro] [Apathy talking]: I don't regret sh** man. Louie's been there since day one. Saw the whole thing. We dropped out of high school together. But if I could go back...if I could go back. I'd say, "Please momma. Please... [Verse One]: Please momma don't let me drop out of school, I'll regret it after I run away to New York and try to be a rapper I never thought me being white would be a factor Before Eminem it was hard for a cracker I really pray to God that I'll survive Cause I've never been the one to hold a 9 to 5 Self educated, dedicated to the sh** I do No brother or sister, all I got is my crew Hand full of people I trust, but truckloads of snakes Ask KRS and Kurtis Blow, those are The Breaks If I don't blow the f** up and blast into space They'll be lookin' at my face like, "Damn, what a waste." Lotta pressure, gotta be stronger and gotta be better Bet I can pull it together and make hits forever I seen the glamor and glitz, it ain't sh** I split when Atlantic tried to make me their b**h [Hook]: It's so hard Hey baby And it's so hard Long time no see It's so hard Hey baby And it's so hard And it's so hard Hard times on planet Earth Hey baby And it's so hard What could you want with me? And it's so hard Hard times on planet Earth Hard times on planet Earth [Apathy talking]: I know Ryu can relate to every word of this sh**. We're chillin' backstage with Jay-Z at the House Of Blues. And I got $300 dollars in my bank [Verse Two]: Look Dad, I got shows all over the world And your boy is the man with girls I know you see me in magazines, in shows with Linkin Park It's been 10 years when's the big money gonna start? My songs on TV and video games But nothings changed in the ways of financial gains I got friends that are famous I do shows in Vegas But got worse credit than people with minimum wages I guess it's hereditary or it's contagious You always thought they jobs were society's cages And I'm just like you, I can't punch clocks You would stay up with me taping rap on my boombox Back in '86, bought me Run DMC I wish she told me study business or be an EMT Somethin', anything to prove my worth Everyday since my birth, hard times on planet Earth [Hook]
