Nipsey Hussle - It is Hard Out Here lyrics
[Nipsey Hussle - It is Hard Out Here lyrics]
It's so hard out here
But, I'm still breathing
I said it's hard out here
But my nigga I ain't leaving
Lookie i show niggas too much love
And not enough discipline
Now look at all this backwards
Shit a nigga in homies want my head
They'd rather see me dead
Than paper'd up on BET
That nigga getting bread
What you thought, what you think
What that shit do?
I heard Nipsey getting paper
Is that shit true?
Yeah, he used to hussle off slauson
Type a nigga probably (feast up) on a coffin
Cos homies families was hurting
But what's it worth when these
Niggas want your carcus
Yeah I know they probably smile
Up in your face
But, I know you niggas phony cos
There's sweat up in your shake
Nigga jealousy, how easily niggas forget
Used to walk thrugh the hood
Nigga didn't have shit
I just hussled off the corner
And I stacked a couple chips
Then I hit the parking lot
With that brand new whip how you love that
Ain't you supposed to smile for me?
Why you hate that? oh you playing high for me
They say cut the grass and
The snakes will show
Is you niggas mad at me or
Do you hate my dough just let me know
It's so hard out here
But, I'm still breathing
I said it's hard out here
But my nigga I ain't leaving
Lookie when I was 15 my momma kicked
Me out and changed the locks
Her husband used to beat on
Us and talk shit alot you ain't my daddy
Nigga I ain't gotta listen to you
Then my momma switched sides like nigga
Yeah you do i used to wanna stay away
Used to hate to come home
Outcasted from the family cos
We wasn't his own now that's scandalous
How'd you let him hit me that hard?
Now that's scandalous
How'd you let your two kids starve?
No lunch money
Was bummy and treated like a step child
Let me loose on these streets
The nigga went wild
No direction, false concept of family
Quick to bust the first damn
Burner that they handed me
Momma these white folks'll never
Understand a gee crying to the judge and
They still reprimanded me
Used to wonder why you act like
You always was mad at me
When cuz was the issue but
Momma I forgive you
It's so hard out here
But, I'm still breathing
I said it's hard out here
But my nigga I ain't leaving
But, I'm still breathing
I said it's hard out here
But my nigga I ain't leaving
Lookie i show niggas too much love
And not enough discipline
Now look at all this backwards
Shit a nigga in homies want my head
They'd rather see me dead
Than paper'd up on BET
That nigga getting bread
What you thought, what you think
