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...

Harder Than I Thought
