Tq – Hard Life Lyrics

[TALKING]
Introducing, the hard life..
As if ya'll ain't know about it..
Just another one of them ghetto things..
The hard life, living and the dieing..
Think about it...

[CHORUS]
When I think about the days gone by,
All the times.. You wish that you could fly away,
To clear blue skies.. Just to leave the hard life,
And when I think about the times we've had,
I remember good as well as the bad..
I can hear the sounds of laughter,
But they laced with cries,
When you live the hard life...
(In the hard life...)

Dear Mister President...
I was watchin' on the news the other day,
You talked about a whole lot of issues...
But something bout my neighberhood you never did say,
I took it for myself to change the channel,
Figured I was better off watching videos...
Maybe try to get a litlle food for my soul,
Late at night when they play to old ones, you know...

[BRIDGE]
I can't get no satisfaction...
Another live lost off quick reaction...
Only time I think about calm and relaxin...
Is when I write a new song...
(When I think about..)

[CHORUS]
I think about the days gone by,
All the times.. You wish that you could fly away,
To clear blue skies.. Just to leave the hard life,
And when I think about the times we've had,
I remember good as well as the bad..
I can hear the sounds of laughter,
But they laced with cries,
When you live the hard life...
(In the hard life...)

Just a little somethin' for my neigberhood,
Holla if you hear me... (Put your hands up...)
Puff 'Lah in summertime, feeling good,
Remenisin' about my partners that done past away...
Just like Lil' Ronnie, Me and him and Melinda,
Just wanted to be somebody... But they gone now...
Ask me how I feel about it...
Well I thank the Lord who blessed 'em,
So I sang about it... (And I do it like this...)

[BRIDGE]
I can't get no satisfaction...
Another live lost off quick reaction...
Only time I think about calm and relaxin...
Is when I write a new song...
(When I think about it..)

[CHORUS]
I think about the days gone by,
All the times.. You wish that you could fly away,
To clear blue skies.. Just to leave the hard life,
And when I think about the times we've had,
I remember good as well as the bad..
I can hear sounds of laughter,
But they laced with cries,
When you live the hard life...
(When you live the hard life...)

[E-40]
I'm so damn disobey'ish, tryin' ta' get by,
Dippin' and dabbin', slick and slide,
Skippin' and skappin', high as a kite,
Twenty-four/Seven, day and night,
The studio rappin, puttin' in work,
Bloodshot..red..eye.. (Eye..)
Visine bottle, tryin' to get rid,
Me and all my guys.. (Guys..)
All ten ready, ready for war,
Prepare for the south, who's clique kick do? Neva' call loose,
