Eve, Teena Marie - Life is So Hard lyrics

This song is a dedication to
Those strugglin' and livin' on
For those who can't see the light
It's comin' stay strong, feel me
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, ooh ooh ooh

Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to send me light so
I can touch my soul
And always know right from wrong
Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to touch my heart so
He can ease the pain
Anything to hide the scars (Uh, uh)

Thank you God, I appreciate every blessin'
Happiness to heartaches, take it as a lesson
I learned a lot in this year
Got a profession that keeps me stressin'
Facin' criticism, answerin' questions
And you still keep me happy and healthy
Blessed with a mind to play the
Cards that life has dealt me
No doubt I struggle i cry at times
Sometimes I wish I could live in a bubble
And it gets hard not to stray to trouble
I'm proud of me
Got a family that holds me down
Real friends 'cause the other ones claim
They don't know me now
But long as God with me
I'ma be good for sure
He's the one who picks me up when
My face is to the floor
Life is crazy, people never cease to amaze me
Stay with stories 'bout how they
Made me or raised me
And it's funny 'cause everybody seems
To be so hungry either they want my life or
They want my money

Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to send me light so
I can touch my soul
And always know right from wrong
Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to touch my heart so
He can ease the pain
Anything to hide the scars

How life be so hard?
(How can my life be so hard?)
Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong
(Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong)
Every day I pray to God (Every day I pray)
Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong
(Whatever, whatever, whatever, uh)

Been through a lot
Still gotta watch my back 'cause people plot
Closest'll do you dirty just to
Take away your spot
Some days I feel like I wanna quit
But, I prayed too long and dreamed
And worked too hard for it
Wouldn't trade my life, none
Even a little bit
'Cause it could be worse for real
I could be turnin' tricks
Might bitch and whine
But always just in the back of my mind
I could be livin' on the streets
Nothin' to eat without a dime
So I thank God, and I think why
'cause life's hard meet a lot of people
But always I'm puttin' up my guard
'Cause you never know, some people snakes
Some people give a lot, but mostly not
Most people take
A lot of smilin', claimin' realness
But most people fake still gotta smile
'cause that's what it takes
Sometimes it's lonely, I feel
Like people see me, really don't know me
But my best friend is Him and
I know He'll hold me

Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to send me light so
I can touch my soul
And always know right from wrong
Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to touch my heart so
He can ease the pain
Anything to hide the scars (Uh, uh)

I got a lotta people on my side protectin' me
Dee, Waah, Chivon, and the family
Gotta thank God for them 'cause
They keep me right
I also thank Him every day for
The love of my life
I thank Him for this gift just
To be able to write
And rock crowds that scream my name
Able to excite thank God for my fans
I love the way they love me
Happy that I'm comfortable, eatin'
Livin' lovely i love my life
Still there's the pressure and pain
So I make sure that I'm
Grounded and able to maintain
A lotta people think I'm lucky
Travelin' and hangin' out
But, if they only knew
I wish I could be hangin' out
I'm bangin' out hit's in the studio
I'm livin' low
Makin' plans to last a lifetime
Make sure I'm gettin' dough
Huh, come on, just so the people know
Uh, come on, just so the people know

Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to send me light so
I can touch my soul
And always know right from wrong
Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to touch my heart so
He can ease my pain
Anything to hide the scars
Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to send me light so
I can touch my soul
And always know right from wrong
Living life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to touch my heart so
He can ease the pain
Anything to hide the scars (Ease my pain)
