Kamban - Hard Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A lifetime, it's a long stretch
But it's not when you put it into context
It can get kind of hard sometimes, yes
Blood, sweat, tears and you wonder why my eyes wet (man)
All these rappers tryna climb heights
Meanwhile lately I've been tryna find depth (yup)
And all this pressure on my minds got me
Tryna stay calm like responding to a bomb threat (woo)

Dream big, and they gon' tell you that it's far fetched (haha)
I tell my story like I'm Forest on a park bench (Oh)
Boy, I took the narrow path, now I'm dedicated
To the journey like it's Star Trek
Yeah, I'm 'bout to build the Enterprise, no car rent (sheesh)
See the progress and we ain't even start yet (nope)
God said,""You ready for the heart check, son?""
""Before the process start, you can't avoid this"" (Oh) (Woo)

And now I'ma never let up like I'm calling 'bout a debt I'm
Gonna have you all fed up with the cause like I'm Gretta
Tell you 'bout it til I'm red up in the face and won't regret it
Heard it from the heavens so I said it (yeah)
Made it through the wreck now I'm indebted
My condition was pathetic, God told me,""You a temple.""
Had to clean the inside, wasn't feelin' the aesthetics

[Chorus]
You say it's a hard life, but really it's a gift though
All these people try to tell you how to live it by the minute
Told 'em,""Thank you for the info."" (Thanks bro)
I heard you got offended by the message
Well I'm sorry dawg, I don't tip-toe
And we've been through some things as Christians
But I'ma always have love for the Kinfolk

[Verse 2]
I'ma always have love for the kinfolk
Never took a loss in my life, turn a L to a dub
Saw the wins grow, been cold with the flow
I was ten, look at what my pen wrote
Driven, never rode with the wind, nope (woo)
Used to do it for the Venmo's and the benj-rolls
Couldn't pay the rent though, gave a tenth got ten-fold
Now these blessings rain down on me so bad homie
I'ma need a trenchcoat (favor ain't fair, what you want me to say)

I'm out here practicing my skills, gon' attract em with the quill
For the King, while they out here tryna stack a couple bills
Yeah, these rappers give you chills
But my raps will get you healed (woo)
Boy, I'm out here living by the Spirit
But you a slave, gotta act on how you feel (yeah)
You only living for yourself and your wealth
That's why you ain't got no traction in the field (Oh)

[Chorus]
You say it's a hard life, but really it's a gift though
All these people try to tell you how to live it by the minute
Told 'em,""Thank you for the info."" (Thanks bro)
I heard you got offended by the message
Well I'm sorry dawg, I don't tip-toe
And we've been through some things as Christians
But I'ma always have love for the Kinfolk
