[Chorus]
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a...
[Verse 1]
Fuck the DA, fuck the P.O, fuck the president, fuck the Po-po
They follow me, wanna keep me close, try to hold me back, let me go
I sip the drank, I sip the drank, pick up the phone and call Michel'le
She hold me down, I gotta make the plan, if the plan don't get me, then I don't care
Look in my eyes and tell me what you see, a whole lot of lives depended on me
But I hold it down, I hold it down, I check in when I'm not in town
Put on a smile girl, put on a smile, it's a lot on my shoulders, I gotta balance it out
Put on a smile girl, put on a smile, I take care of you and that child
[Chorus]
It's harder for a real nigga (hey)
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a...
[Verse 2]
Gotta go to the courthouse, judge ain't giving a fuck, oww
My fingerprints is they evidence, what the fuck I'ma do now?
So hold me tight, hold me close, my lifestyle got me doin' the most
Fuck that, let's make a toast, the Lord keep us alive, he never take our soul
I'm prayin' up, I'm prayin' up, this a must that I can't sleep, I stay up
Pops told me to change up but if I change up they gonna say I changed up
When everybody depend on you, you got nobody to run to
You got nobody to come through, when they finally come through you feel like fuck you
[Chorus]
It's harder for a real nigga (hey)
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a real nigga
It's ten times harder for a...
[Outro]
Lord (Lord), please (please give), give us the life (gimme life), we need (life we need), please (please Lord)
