RAYE - Hard Out Here. Lyrics

After years and fears and smiling through my tears
All I ask of you is open your ears
'Cause the truth ain't pretty, my dear
It's been dark, been hard out

Uh
On my way, figured a way, figured a way out
My pen is a gun, pen is a gun, I'm finna spray now
He said I was out, said I was done, look at his face now
Hmm, hmm, uh
Tell them boys, feeling them boys, meet at the steak house
I been a mess, I'm in a dress and I got my cakes out
Sleeping on her, sleeping on me, I'm in your face now
Hmm, no, no, no, no, no

What do you know about hustling?
As a young girl (young girl) in the dungeons (dungeons)
What you know about making amends?
With the devils in your face you must pretend, uh

CR0, I'm from ends but I'm an actor
Smile in your face, all of the pricks, all of the wankers
I had to chill, smoke it away, manage my anger

Ooh, what you know about systems?
About drugged drinks, fucking nearly dying from addictions
You start wonder why I'm Christian
Without the Lord, I'd take my life for all the times I've been a victim
Ooh, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Hmm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

All the white men CEOs, fuck your privilege
Get your pink chubby hands off my mouth, fuck you think this is?
I told my lawyer stand by (war), there is no wrath like a women scorned
Uh, now I bet you wish

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Devil's a lie, I am the guy, call me the Conrad
I been too nice, triple the price, pay me the whole bag
These motherfuckers cheatin' on me, am I a wag? Never again
Top a the day, top a the day, top a the day to you
This LP's full of the shit I'm gonna say to you, ooh
See how I flow when I'm in pain, I'm gonna pray for you
Then I'm a aim for you, and it's a shame for you, shame for you

Oh yeah
What you know about violence? I'm on smoke now
Babe, I think it's time to cut the violins
Can't see you, I'm looking at the inside of my eyelids
I'll never stop fighting, all in God's timing

Timing
And I'm about to have these grown men crying
You wasn't trying, you was sitting on diamonds, mmm
You gon' have to see me now, I'm shining, hyped up, blinding
Very fucking frightening, all these lies, now I see it so clear
See for girls like me from the bottom of the tier
Believe that it's always been hard out here

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Hmm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)
Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back
Hmm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
