Introducing the hard life 
As if you all ain`t know about it 
Just another one of them ghetto things 
Hard life living in the diningroom 
(Chorus) 
When I think about the days go by 
All the times 
You wish that you could fly away 
Into the clear bleu skies 
Just to live the hard life 
And when I think about the times we had 
I remember good as well as the bad 
I can hear sounds of laughter 
When the lays sweet cries 
In the hard life 
Dear mister president 
I was watching the news the other day 
You talked about a whole lot of issues 
But something about the neighberhood you never did 
I tooke it for myself to change the channel 
Figured out I was better of watching videos 
Now you trying to get a litlle fool for my soul. 
Late at night when they play to old tune 
(Bridge) 
I can`t get no satisfaction another live lost on quick reaction 
Only time I think about calm and relaxing is when I write a new song 
(Chorus) 
Just a little some for my neigberhood 
Holla if you hear me 
Tough time in summertime feeling good 
Remenise about my partners who past away 
Just like little ronnie me and him and melinda 
Just wanna be somebody 
But to go now 
Asked me how I feel about 
Well I thank the lord who blessed him 
So I sang about it 
(Bridge) 
(Chorus) 
(Rap by E-40) 
(Chorus - 3x)
