It's so hard stayin rich, tryin' to live, tryin' to keep from strugglin'/ It's so hard, I've been down so long and I can't stop hustlin'/ It's so hard, just to have everybody after my family/ It's so hard, stayin' sucker free, cause we run the game and we know the streets/ It's so hard
Krayzie Bone
Woke up this mornin' to a' empty bottle, got so many problems I'm drinkin' not to think about 'em/ I hit my bottom, now I climb the rough side of the mountain/ I'm a survivor, but how much longer will I get over/ Cause I mean, damn, I been stuck in a jam like "When is niggas gon' reconize that I am tight?" Cause I been goin' through a major draught/ And I almost vanished, but dog, I managed to make it out (It's so hard) And sometimes I wanna pick up my nine and put it up to my mind and just blast it (Blast it) Cause I'm grindin' everyday and my shinin' never came and my life is madness (Madness)
-Chorus-
It's so hard stayin rich, tryin' to live, tryin' to keep from strugglin'/ It's so hard, I've been down so long and I can't stop hustlin'/ It's so hard, just to have everybody after my family/ It's so hard, stayin' sucker free, cause we run the game and we know the streets/ It's so hard

You know the hollowness of life and when you got your goin' nigga, hurtin' somethin' bad and tryin' not to show it/ Stayin' strong as I have to so I'm fienin' on the regular/ This is for my peoples, I ain't thinkin' bout competitors/ Rhyme to the rythm of your broke-ass nigga steady grindin' on the move, campaignin' for some figures/ See my nigga Ziggy-zig "What's crackin' wit'chu partner?" Man, he told me his moms passed and it's hard to live without her (It's so hard) Stay strong my nigga, if you need me, never hesistate/ It's funny, in this world, tryin' to figure out your fate in this unforgiven place where we die for what we're livin' for/ Sippin' on a brown bag, vibin' in the studio
-Chorus-
It's so hard stayin rich, tryin' to live, tryin' to keep from strugglin'/ It's so hard, I've been down so long and I can't stop hustlin'/ It's so hard, just to have everybody after my family/ It's so hard, stayin' sucker free, cause we run the game and we know the streets/ It's so hard
