Harder Than U Know

Intro:
Heritage again yeah
Life's hard as hell (Hard)

Verse:
I'm sitting all alone in this room
Thinking bout everything
People saying they understand
But they don't have a clue hot dam
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I know I can't do that no
Reflecting on life daily
Has got me on the low

Chorus:
You tell me that u understand my pain but it's
Harder than you know
Working nine to five and still can't meet the bills is
Harder than you know
Taking care of my family (Oh yea) is
Harder than you know
And resisting the streets yea is
Harder than you know

Verse:
Early in the morning on the J train
I see my people hustling going to work yeah
This is how we're living everyday
Trying to make ends meet yeah
Trying to turn a dime into a dollar
If you know what I mean let me hear you holler
I'm singing from a heart of pain
I'm tired of struggling yeah

Chorus:
You try to make me feel like you know my pain but it's
Harder than you know
You wanna know how I'm living just for one day

Harder than you know
You thought u knew something about my life, it's
Harder than you know
Everyone round my way will say the same, it's
Harder than you know

Verse:
I see mothers on crack bringing crack babies into world where there's no hope
for those in need yea
It's like a whole other world out here and the folks from the suburbs wouldn't
even know this life is real
If the news didn't show it sometimes
How we really living out here all the time
So many young mothers raising children on their own
Can some one tell me what's wrong?

Bridge:
Oh what's wrong with this picture?
Or am I the only one making this an issue
But it really doesn't matter
As long as I get to say what I wanna say
I see it all the time
Rolling thru my hood everyday and night yea
Now this here is real life living
That's why I'm filled with so much pain

Chorus:
You got this look on your face like you know my pain but it's
Harder than you know
I tell you the same thing over again
Harder than you know
I feel this pain flowing thru my veins, it's
Harder than you know
Oh take another look and you'll see what I say, it's
Harder than you know
Man youu getting me mad pretending like you know, it's
Harder than you know
This is the real deal here, life is really
Harder than you know
No matter where you come from the struggles all the same, it's
Harder than you know
Aye yo I know this life like I know my name, it's
Harder than u know
