|
You try to do your best but never seem to get far |
|
No gas in the car, looking for a buck in a jar |
|
Your Ex girl's on the phone saying life is hard |
|
And that bitch left you with no money on your cards |
|
You're lying to yourself with no pause |
|
How it's all part of your plan and written in the stars |
|
In the real world you're sugarcoating your flaws |
|
You've just lost your job and you shitted on your boss |
|
And the rent is due but nobody wants to hear what you've been through |
|
You're blaming everyone and how they did you |
|
Everybody is looking at you in their rear view |
|
It's like you're doing everything that you should not do |
|
Why are you looking in the mirror when it's not you |
|
Standing on the corner until the block cools |
|
With something tucked in your belt |
|
Why you make hard on yourself |
|
Don't make it hard on yourself bro |
|
Years gone by |
|
Got something on your mind |
|
No matter how hard you try, you try |
|
Why you make it hard on yourself (x4) |
|
It's like your glass is always half empty |
|
But keep picturing yourself driving in that Bentley |
|
Now picture yourself on the opposite of rich |
|
And that's exactly what you get it if you don't step it up, quick |
|
You never think about tomorrow |
|
Your stress is getting worse with every penny you've borrowed |
|
You might as well start packing up while you're staring at your mailbox |
|
Bills stacking by the truckload |
|
Trying to fool the whole world but your momma knows |
|
She already knows how that song goes |
|
Your pops was a rolling stone |
|
The apple never fell far from home |
|
And no body's picking up their phone |
|
They don't wanna hear the same old shit in the same sorry ass tone |
|
In the meantime tell them that you don't need no help |
|
Listen, why you make it hard on yourself |
|
Don't make it hard on yourself bro |
|
Years gone by |
|
Got something on your mind |
|
No matter how hard you try, you try |
|
Why you make it hard on yourself (x4) |
