Hard Times On Planet Earth

I don't regret shit man. Louie's been there since day one. Saw the whole thing. We dropped out of high school together. But if I could go back... if I could go back. I'd say, "Please momma. Please...

Please momma don't let me drop out of school, I'll regret it after

I run away to New York and try to be a rapper

I never thought me being white would be a factor

Before Eminem it was hard for a cracker

I really pray to God that I'll survive

Cause I've never been the one to hold a 9 to 5

Self educated, dedicated to the shit I do

No brother or sister, all I got is my crew

Hand full of people I trust, but truckloads of snakes

Ask KRS and Kurtis Blow, those are The Breaks

If I don't blow the fuck up and blast into space

They'll be lookin' at my face like, "Damn, what a waste."

Lotta pressure, gotta be stronger and gotta be better

Bet I can pull it together and make hits forever

I seen the glamor and glitz, it ain't shit

I split when Atlantic tried to make me their bitch

It's so hard

Hey baby

And it's so hard

Long time no see

It's so hard

Hey baby

And it's so hard

And it's so hard

Hey baby

And it's so hard

What could you want with me?

And it's so hard

I know Ryu can relate to every word of this shit. We're chillin' backstage with Jay-Z at the House Of Blues. And I got $300 dollars in my bank.

Look Dad, I got shows all over the world

And your boy is the man with girls

I know you see me in magazines, in shows with Linkin Park

It's been 10 years when's the big money gonna start?

My songs on TV and video games

But nothings changed in the ways of financial gains

I got friends that are famous

I do shows in Vegas

But got worse credit than people with minimum wages

I guess it's hereditary or it's contagious

You always thought they jobs were society's cages

And I'm just like you, I can't punch clocks

You would stay up with me taping rap on my boombox

Back in '86, bought me Run DMC

I wish she told me study business or be an EMT

Somethin', anything to prove my worth

Everyday since my birth, hard times on planet Earth

It's so hard

Hey baby

And it's so hard

Long time no see

It's so hard

Hey baby

And it's so hard

And it's so hard

Hey baby

And it's so hard

What could you want with me?

And it's so hard
