It's hard to live


It's hard to live without things that's always there

like stress, pain, attitude, dreams, and struggle

struggle is my motivation to get up and hustle

pain is what's telling me to keep going when I stop

Attitude there cause I'm stressed out mad 

but I always look to the future to my dreams for help

Nowhere to be without the police on our ass 

killing off the targets and laugh when we're sad 

Everybody asking for cash I don't have 

I'm Trying to make it to see something great done by me

so I guess you could say i couldn't live without my dream
