Hard Life

We had a rough childhood as well
Because with him being the only black kid used to be up there
It used to be rough, but he used to fight it 'tho
He was a roughian

(It's so hard)
(To break a habit, ooh)
(It's so—)

Tried to move on, but got motion sick
It's hard to forget when the dark days hit
It's cruel, remember the things I didn't do
And a dark day hits once more (It's so—)

In disbelief at the depth of the skies
Can't open my eyes
Nothing holdin' me down, yet this weight inside
Reminds me I'm actually sinkin' (It's so—)

I've been thinkin' 'bout the future
Feelin' things I didn't used to
I was free, not before
But after my fall (It's so—)
Free to believe in words I didn't mean
Just to get by
I'd rather die than to cry
It's a hard life

(It's so hard)
It's a hard life
(To break a habit, ooh)
It's a hard life to make me happy
(To break a habit, ooh)
(It's so—)

Straw that broke the camel's back
Don't think I can live with that
Always seem to fall harder than before (It's so—)

I'm bruised when it's buried, I'm cut when it's open
I don't think the end is near, but here's hopin', a sign
It won't be the last time, but the learnin' is makin' you stronger

A little longer, I've been waitin'
All this shit's so frustrating
I was free, not anymore
Facin' things from before (It's so—)
I tried to believe in words I didn't mean
Just to get by
I'd rather die than to cry
It's a hard life

(It's so hard)
It's a hard life
(To break a habit, ooh)
It's a hard life to make me happy
(To break a habit, ooh)
(It's so—)

Straw that broke the camel's back
Don't think I can live with that
Always seem to fall harder than before

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
(It's so—)

Da-da-da-oh-oh-oh
(It's so hard)
It's a hard life
