It is Hard Out Here

[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]

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

[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]

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

[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]

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

[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]

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

[Chorus: Nipsey Hussle]

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
