Harder Way Lyrics

I've been politicking with the gangsters, I can't get away from the freaks

I just dropped acheck to the banker, then I'm bout to run in these streets

It was never easy for me, always took the harder way

That's the way I like it, now I'm ballin' like I'm Hardaway

I don't think you feel me, if you do then turn up harder then

Wake up on a mission, I'll be damned I ever starve again

Really wish they did, but I just feel they don't relate to me

I can't trust a bitch, if I was down she wouldn't wait for me

Feel like fuck the streets, y'all wouldn't be solid on a case with me

Hard to call you brother, you don't understand this pain in me

Shakin', daily I'm improving, till the day I say I made it

Movin' and I'm groovin', chasin' cheddar, duckin' bacon

Need a chef to run the kitchen, heated floors up in the basement

It was cold, I needed clothes, I seen you with him, I would take em

With a pistol and a swisher gettin' faded, who could save him

Who could save him

Father violent, then he ghosted, that's the shit that made him Hate him

Mother cried until she died, and that's the type of shit that made him

The system took my rights away, I almost threw my life away

Made up my decision, I'ma grind until it's brighter days

They didn't answer calls, naw, look at how the times have changed

Now you wanna see me, but I'm workin', don't have time today

Put my pride away, my eyes are open, so I'm wide awake

Lookin' out the window of my flight like this is mine to take

Gotta try today and do my best like I'ma find a way

I'm feelin' blessed didn't died today, still got my soul didn't sign away

It was never easy for me, always took the harder way

That's the way I like it, now I'm ballin' like I'm Hardaway

I don't think you feel me, if you do then turn up harder then

Wake up on a mission, I'll be damned I ever starve again

Really wish they did, but I just feel they don't relate to me

I can't trust a bitch, if I was down, she wouldn't wait for me

Feel like fuck the streets, yall wouldnt be solid on a case with me

Hard to call you brother, you don't understand this pain in me

They see me at the funeral and tell me I look brave as hell

The smile on my face was never matchin' with the way I felt

I didn't ask for shit or wait around after I prayed for help

I stood up on my own, cause I'm a soldier, had to save myself

Started politickin' with the gangsters

I got comfortable with lovin all the danger

The things that make you smile make you cry too

Made it out of now, I poly with the banker, ooh
