| 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) |
