Be Strong

**Yeah, it's hard out here, yeah, yeah, it's hard.

But be strong, my dear, be strong, be strong!**

Nobody ever said that life was easy, believe me, I come from the dirt too.

The devil, he deceived me. I used to be an addict, strung out on the licks.

It's been a hard-knock life; I made a wall out of bricks.

And I tried to do it right, but being good don't work.

Now, COVID's got me hiding indoors going berserk.

And your boy right now is ready to start flipping,

Knowing my slick talk will get me clapped, but this kitchen got me vexed.

All I see is death all day, got me down on my knees all day.
