hard life

You have a rough childhood as well
Because with you being the only Black kid used to be up there
Used to be rough, but you survived it though
It was a rough year
(You make me happy, ooh)
(It's a—)
Tried to move on, but got motion sick
It's hard to forget when the dark days hit (Ooh)
It's cruel, remember the things I didn't do
And a dark day hits once more (It's a—)
In disbelief at the depth of the skies
Can't open my eyes (Ooh)
Nothing holdin' me down , yet there's weight inside
Reminds me I'm actually thinkin' (It's a—)
I've been thinkin' 'bout the future
Feelin' things I didn't used to
I was free, not before
But after my fall (It's a—), free to believe in words I didn't mean
Just to get by
I'd rather die than to cry
It's a hard life
(It's a hard, yeah)
It's a hard life
(You make me happy, ooh) It's a hard life
You make me happy (It's a hard, yeah)
(You make me happy, ooh)
(It's a—)
Straw that broke the camel's back
Don't think I can live with that
Always seem to fall harder than before ( It's a—)
I'm bruised when it's buried, I'm cut when it's open
I don't think the end is near, but here's hope and a sign
It woke you last time, but the learnin' is makin' you stronger
A little longer, I've been waitin'
All this sh*t's so frustratin' (Ooh)
I was free, not anymore
Tastin' things from before (It's a—)
I tried to believe in words I didn't mean
Just to get by (Ooh)
I'd rather die than to cry
It's a hard life
(It's a hard, yeah)
It's a hard life
(You make me happy, ooh) It's a hard life
You make me happy (It's a hard, yeah)
(You make me happy, ooh)
(It's a—)
Straw that broke the camel's back
Don't think I can live with that
Always seem to fall harder than before
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Ooh)
Mm-mm- mm, mm-mm-mm
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da (It's a—)
Da-da-da-da
Da-da -da-da-da-da-da (It's a—)
Da-da-da (Ooh)
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
(It's a hard, yeah)
It's a hard life
It's a hard life (You make me happy, ooh)
You make me happy
