| I take a shot of Henessey now I’m strong enough to face the madness
|
| Nickel bag full of sess weed laced with hash
|
| Phone calls from my niggaz on the, other side
|
| Two childhood friends just died, I couldn’t cry
|
| A damn shame, when will we ever change
|
| And what remains from a twelve gauge to the brain
|
| Arguements with my Boo is true
|
| I spend mo’time with my niggaz than I do with you
|
| But everywhere it’s the same thang, that’s the game
|
| I’ll be damned if a thang changed, fuck the fame
|
| I’ll be hustling to make a mill-ion, lord knows
|
| Ain’t no love for us ghetto children, so we cold
|
| Rag top slowin down, time to stop for gas
|
| Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass, uhh
|
| It ain’t easy, that’s my motto
|
| Drinkin Tanqueray straight out the bottle
|
| Everybody wanna know if I’m insane
|
| My baby mama gotta mind full of silly games
|
| And all the drama got me stressin like I’m hopeless, I can’t cope
|
| Me and the homies smokin roaches, cause we broke
|
| Late night hangin out til the sunrise gettin high
|
| Watchin the cops roll by It ain’t easy… that’s right
|
| Chorus: 2Pac
|
| It ain’t easy, being me Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free
|
| Verse Two: 2Pac
|
| I can’t sleep niggaz plottin on to kill me while I’m dreamin
|
| Wake up sweaty and screamin, cause I can hear them suckers schemin
|
| Probably paranoid, problem is, them punks be fantasizin
|
| A brother bite the bullet, open fire and I died
|
| I wonder why this the way it is, even now
|
| Lookin out for these killer kids, cause they wild
|
| Bill Clinton can you recognize a nigga representin
|
| Doin twenty to life in San Quentin
|
| Gettin calls from my nigga Mike Tyson, ain’t nuttin nice
|
| Yo 'Pac, do something righteous witcha life
|
| And even thou you innocent you still a nigga, so they figure
|
| Rather have you behind bars than triggers
|
| But I’m hold ya down and holla Thug Life, lickin shots
|
| Til I see my niggaz free on the block
|
| But no it ain’t easy, hahahah
|
| Til I see my niggaz free, on the block, oh It ain’t easy
|
| Verse Three: 2Pac
|
| Lately been reminiscin
|
| bout Peppermint Schnapps in Junior High hit the block
|
| Keep an eye on the cops while D-Boys slang rocks
|
| It’s the project kid without a conscience, I’m havin dreams
|
| of hearin screams at my concerts, me all my childhood peers
|
| through the years tryin to stack a little green
|
| I was only seventeen, when I started servin fiends
|
| And I wish there was another way to stack a dollar
|
| So my apoli', casue these hard times make me wanna holler
|
| Will I live to see tommorrow, am I fallin off?
|
| I hit the weed and then proceed to say fuck all of y’all
|
| Ain’t nobody down with me I’m thuggin, I can’t go home
|
| Cause muh-fuckers think I’m buggin, so now I’m in this high powered cell at the county jail
|
| Punk judge got a grudge, can’t post no bail, what
|
| do I do in these county blues
|
| Gettin battered and bruised by the you know who
|
| And these fakes get to shakin when they face me Snakes ain’t got enough nuts to replace me Sittin in this, livin hell, listenin to niggaz yell
|
| Tryin to torture em to tell, I’m gettin mail
|
| But ain’t nobody sayin much, the same old nuts
|
| is makin bucks while these sluts is gettin fucked
|
| They violated my probation, and it seems
|
| I’ll be goin on a long vacation, meanwhile
|
| It ain’t easy
|
| No it ain’t easy |
