It Ain't Easy
Tupac

Keepin' it real


I take a shot of Hennessey

Now I'm strong enough to face the madness

Nickel bag full of sess weed laced with hash

Phone calls from my niggaz on the, other side

Two childhood friends just died, I couldn't cry


A damn shame, when will we ever change

And what remains from a twelve gauge to the brain

Arguments with my Boo is true

I spend mo' time with my niggaz than I do with you


But everywhere it's the same thang, that's the game

I'll be damned if a thang changed, fuck the fame

I'll be hustling to make a million

Lord, knows ain't no love for us ghetto children, so we cold


Rag top slowin' down, time to stop for gas

Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass

It ain't easy, that's my motto

Drinkin' Tanqueray straight out the bottle


Everybody wanna know if I'm insane

My baby mama gotta mind full of silly games

And all the drama got me stressin' like I'm hopeless, I can't cope

Me and the homies smokin' roaches, 'cause we broke


Late night, hangin' out till the sunrise gettin' high

Watchin' the cops roll by

It ain't easy, that's right


It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free


I can't sleep, niggaz plottin' on to kill me while I'm dreamin'

Wake up sweaty and screamin',

'Cause I can hear them suckers schemin'

Probably paranoid, problem is, them punks be fantasizin'

A brother bite the bullet, open fire and I died


I wonder why this the way it is, even now

Lookin' out for these killer kids, 'cause they wild

Bill Clinton can you recognize a nigga representin'

Doin' twenty to life in San Quentin


Gettin' calls from my nigga Mike Tyson, ain't nuttin' nice

Yo 'Pac, do somethin' righteous witcha life

And even though you innocent you still a nigga, so they figure

Rather have you behind bars than triggers


But I'm hold ya down and holla Thug Life, lickin' shots

Till I see my niggaz free on the block

But no it ain't easy

Till I see my niggaz free, on the block, oh

It ain't easy


It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary


Lately been reminiscin'

'Bout Peppermint Schnapps in Junior High hit the block

Keep an eye on the cops while D-Boys slang rocks


It's the project kid without a conscience,

I'm havin' dreams of hearin' screams at my concerts

Me all my childhood peers through the years

Tryin' to stack a little green


I was only seventeen, when I started servin' fiends

And I wish there was another way to stack a dollar

So my apoli', 'cause these hard times make me wanna holler

Will I live to see tomorrow, am I fallin' off?


I hit the weed and then proceed to say fuck all of y'all

Ain't nobody down with me I'm thuggin', I can't go home

'Cause muh-fuckers think I'm buggin'

So now I'm in this high powered cell at the county jail


Punk judge got a grudge, can't post no bail

What do I do in these county blues

Gettin' battered and bruised by the you know who

And these fakes get to shakin' when they face me


Snakes ain't got enough nuts to replace me

Sittin' in this, livin' hell, listenin' to niggaz yell

Tryin' to torture 'em to tell, I'm gettin' mail

But ain't nobody sayin' much


The same old nuts is makin' bucks

While these sluts is gettin' fucked

They violated my probation

And it seems I'll be goin' on a long vacation


Meanwhile, it ain't easy

No, it ain't easy


It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free


It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free


It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free

It ain't easy, being me

Will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free
