How Can I

How can I be righteous in a unrighteous hood\nWhere it seems like evil forces got more strength than good?\nWhen I’m tryna push my way through the door just to survive\nBut the rest of the world is pushing me back from the other side?\nHow can I evolve and develop into completeness?\nHow long can I look strong when really I’m at my weakest?\nWhen will I take responsibility as an advisor\nAnd start helping my young G’s instead of being a criticizer?\nHow can I keep smiling when inside I’m 'bout to break-up?\nHow many times will we get railroaded before we wake-up?\nWhen every time I try to advance something is stopping me\nTryna break the same cycle of failure and mediocrity\nHow can I stay focused and keep on my game face\nWhen no matter how hard I work I’m still sitting in the same place?\nMake me understand how can my life not be stressful\nWhen the people who pull stunts and do dirt is more successful?\nHere I stand before the world, my inner thoughts exposed\nI’m like a time bomb ticking, I’m about to explode\nI’m still holding on tight, tryna stay on my post\nNo matter how you think you understand, you don’t come close\nLet me tell you about my struggles man, life is like a hard road\nI remember Daddy used to tell me, «Life is like a hard road»\nFocus on what’s important and lighten your cargo\nAnd do all you can today and plan for tomorrow\nAnd disappointment happens so just face the facts\nYou move up one space and get pushed two spaces back\nI see the two-car garage and house on the seashore\nBut the road has potholes and a sign that says 'detour'\nEvery time I turn around, ain’t nothin' but trouble, man\nThen I try to turn around, it’s nothing but struggle, man\nWon’t somebody tell me, how is it possible\nCrossing the landmine field with barbedwire and obstacles\nAnd everybody taking shots, snitch niggas faking out\nBullshit niggas live and OGs are taken out\nSo how can I make it, email me if y’all know\nNow I know what Daddy means, life is like a hard road\nHere I stand before the world, my inner thoughts exposed\nI’m like a time bomb ticking, I’m about to explode\nI’m still holding on tight, tryna stay on my post\nNo matter how you think you understand, you don’t come close\nAct they down and they sell you out, that’s how most do ya\nSometimes it’s easier to talk to strangers than those who close to ya\nHow can a girl ever trust a man and love one later\nWhen every man she ever met mistreated her and betrayed her?\nHow can I leave a bad situation and overlook one\nWhen the person you’re in that situation with thinks it’s a good one?\nIf I don’t keep people around me, it’s like problems stay on me\nThe more time I spend alone, they more they seem to weigh on me\nI got people I gotta reach, bread I need to be making\nAnd I don’t eat swine, so I ain’t bringing home no bacon\nWe gotta bring enough sum home to guarantee we eat\nAnd try to shield our seeds from being victims of the street\nMy checks is coming late and I ain’t finding that funny\nAnd the month is always lasting longer than the money\nSometimes everyday conflict can trigger your doubt\nLife is odyssey, it’s your job to figure it out\nHere I stand before the world, my inner thoughts exposed\nI’m like a time bomb ticking, I’m about to explode\nI’m still holding on tight, tryna stay on my post\nNo matter how you think you understand, you don’t come close
