| Please momma don’t let me drop out of school, I’ll regret it after
|
| I run away to New York and try to be a rapper
|
| I never thought me being white would be a factor
|
| Before Eminem it was hard for a cracker
|
| I really pray to God that I’ll survive
|
| Cause I’ve never been the one to hold a 9 to 5
|
| Self educated, dedicated to the shit I do
|
| No brother or sister, all I got is my crew
|
| Hand full of people I trust, but truckloads of snakes
|
| Ask KRS and Kurtis Blow, those are The Breaks
|
| If I don’t blow the fuck up and blast into space
|
| They’ll be lookin' at my face like, «Damn, what a waste.»
|
| Lotta pressure, gotta be stronger and gotta be better
|
| Bet I can pull it together and make hits forever
|
| I seen the glamor and glitz, it ain’t shit
|
| I split when Atlantic tried to make me their bitch
|
| It’s so hard
|
| Hey baby
|
| And it’s so hard
|
| Long time no see
|
| It’s so hard
|
| Hey baby
|
| And it’s so hard
|
| And it’s so hard
|
| Hard times on planet Earth
|
| Hey baby
|
| And it’s so hard
|
| What could you want with me?
|
| And it’s so hard
|
| Hard times on planet Earth
|
| Hard times on planet Earth
|
| I know Ryu can relate to every word of this shit. |
| We’re chillin' backstage with
|
| Jay-Z at the House Of Blues. |
| And I got $ 300 dollars in my bank
|
| Look Dad, I got shows all over the world
|
| And your boy is the man with girls
|
| I know you see me in magazines, in shows with Linkin Park
|
| It’s been 10 years when’s the big money gonna start?
|
| My songs on TV and video games
|
| But nothings changed in the ways of financial gains
|
| I got friends that are famous
|
| I do shows in Vegas
|
| But got worse credit than people with minimum wages
|
| I guess it’s hereditary or it’s contagious
|
| You always thought they jobs were society’s cages
|
| And I’m just like you, I can’t punch clocks
|
| You would stay up with me taping rap on my boombox
|
| Back in '86, bought me Run DMC
|
| I wish she told me study business or be an EMT
|
| Somethin', anything to prove my worth
|
| Everyday since my birth, hard times on planet Earth |
