It's hard out here
Boys become men to young,
Making they lives harder they needed
Putting they lives at risks; it's all wrong...
They trying to hard to
Make a dollar out of 15 cents,
When they know it ain't easy
Barely got enough money to pay they rents...
Knowing that they can catch a bullet anytime
All they know are drug & crime,
Hanging out on these streets are rough
Being in the wrong place wrong time...
To have to look over your shoulder
Everytime a car comes around the corner,
The longer you stay in the game
It's going o get harder & harder...
They say keep your friends close
But your enemies closer
They didn't say anything about bullets flying past my chest,
To take a life at such a young age
To say that i passed the test...
To see my family go through all that pain
& never be able to forgive or forget,
Running & Dodging bullets
It ain't worth it...
