Contrast - A2Z_ Media | Hard Life lyrics

[Rocky Balboa Speech (2006)] Let me tell you something you already know The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows And I don't care how tough you are It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward How much you can take and keep moving forward Life is so deep Guys try hype like they know me That's why my mind is so peak I roll with a knife like Shinobi I remember the times back in '03 Everything was nice, there was no beef Nobody tried to be OG's I never had to hide from the police But I swear down everything changed Ever since the day that my grandma phoned me And shed tears as she told me About how my uncle died slowly That night, I cried, felt so weak Inside, I died as my soul weeped Stared in my mums eyes, there was no speech She cried many nights, I didn't go sleep No sleep I just zoned out and smoked cheese 'Till the chemicals started to control me Late nights, I used to go eat Waste guys, 'cos I had no pee Then I got dank and sold cheese Tried skanking the bank but they caught me With the things I've done due to low pee / [?] I should be locked up but I roam free 'Cos it's hard how I'm living darg Half of my dons behind prison bars The other half are the victims of police and people who are quick to judge Yeah it's hard how I'm living darg That's why I'm constantly piffin' bud Bill it up, spark piff and puff Puff puff, don't pa** 'til I feel a buzz Growin' up, it was just me, my little sis And my single mum fam, no child support And I respect my mother to the fullest, that's why I remove my shoes as soon as I'm inside the door I used to get on my knees and help her wipe the floor You best believe, she's the only woman I adore And she's the solitary woman that I'm riding for And she's the only reason that I abide the law My little angel sent from God himself My mate tried to lose music and lost himself See everybody prays that they make it But when they make it they just become lost in wealth As soon as you sign your soul to the devil, you've lost yourself Respecting your dignity I pray that my brothers overcome health deficiency Married to the game and I won't commit bigamy 'Cos it's hard how I'm living darg Half of my dons behind prison bars The other half are the victims of police and people who are quick to judge Yeah it's hard how I'm living darg That's why I'm constantly piffin' bud Bill it up, spark piff and puff Puff puff, don't pa** 'til I feel a buzz Yo, it's harder how we're living fam Kids are on the block shotting just to get the stack The youngers carry straps and now they're even repping gangs It's not an easy life, we need to figure out a plan Kids without a dad are struggling in council flats Just a single mum, times are hard, the country's mad Now the boy is on the block fam, skipping school Underage, drinks away to all the sh** that's in his past Yo, there's something that is on my head Just before the summertimes, midway into 2010 I must have got to school at 8am to hear the news A boy I knew pa**ed away, he never finished year ten That's a true fact fam, it opened up my eyes Becos I been there, I told the lies, heard 'em too But until the day I die fam, I'll make my moves, do the best I do and stay true to anything I do 'Cos it's hard how I'm living darg Half of my dons behind prison bars The other half are the victims of police and people who are quick to judge Yeah it's hard how I'm living darg That's why I'm constantly piffing bud Bill it up, spark piff and puff Puff puff, don't pa** 'til I feel a buzz
