Mertens, J.Cole - Too Hard lyrics

Life is way too hard i can't endure
Let's do this from start i say no more

When I grow up I want to
Ball like Jordan and LeBron
They say this is my end
But homie I've just begun
You should fight for the things
That you're believing in
But sometimes you should accept that things
Are harder than you think
Soon you're old and you
Regret missed opportunities
But new chances will appear
In new communities
So my advice to everyone is
Don't ever give up
As soon as you started something
You should never stop
One thing you can be sure of
Is that nothing's ever sure
But when you'll reckon that
Life may be easier than before
Majority of the people in your
Life will come and go
So be careful about what you
Want to tell and show

Life is way too hard i can't endure
Let's do this from start i say no more

It's beauty in the struggle
Ugliness in the success
Hear my words or listen to
My signal of distress
I grew up in the city and
Though some times we had less
Compared to some of my niggas down the block
Man, we were blessed
And life can't be no fairytale
No once upon a time but, I be God damned if
A nigga don't be tryin'
So tell me mama please
Why you be drinking all the time?
Does all the pain he brought you
Still linger in your mind?
Cause pain still lingers on mine
On the road to riches listen
This is what you'll find
The good news is nigga you came a long way
The bad news is nigga you went the wrong way

Life is way too hard i can't endure
Let's do this from start i say no more
