(feat. Shyna)



[Chorus: Shyna]

The hard thing is we maintainin

but yeah we face it - we doin this the best we can

The hard thing is we maintainin

but yeah we face it - we doin this the best we can



[Verse 1: Trae]

Just realize my pain don't under estimate the life that I live

cause everything ain't what it seem dogg I promise it's real

too many troubles in the world be steadily ridin my back

my attitude be off track and plus I like it like that

cause I wouldn't have to be bothered with all these fake ass, roach ass, bitch ass

who only know me for cash - it's like these niggas only see the finer things that I have

but they don't see the rainy days and hard nights that I grab

or better yet about the fact that my child was born sick

momma stressin and everyday bills be gettin thick

I'm real in the game and been representin for over ten

now it's 2004 and I still ain't able to win

I ain't whinin I'm a take it how it go

and mash the gas to the bullets for me and my nigga Ro

Slow Loud when I Bang forever to let 'em know

that the life I live is hard even if it don't show...Fuh Real



[Chorus: Shyna]

The hard thing is we maintainin

but yeah we face it - we doin this the best we can

The hard thing is we maintainin

but yeah we face it - we doin this the best we can



[Verse 2: Lil'B]

I really love how my team hit the scene lookin clean

spinnin and drivin crazy that's a young man's dream

just let 'em know that these ain't always what it seems

we come home to plenty bills know what I mean

if it ain't the car note - it's the house

if it ain't a phone call - the mail man on the route

it it ain't ya right hand man with his hand out

it's the baby momma with the drama stressin niggas out

and they wonder why the dro blow slow still hit it

cold fo' po yo homies wanna sip it, don't go no no homies wanna kick it

and ya'll wonder why a young nigga be trippen

it's a shame but I maintain and keep my head right

it ain't easy believe me I'm puttin up a fight

still prayin that the Lord don't take me in the night

it ain't always what it seems when you in the lime light...Fuh Real



[Chorus: Shyna]

The hard thing is we maintainin

but yeah we face it - we doin this the best we can

The hard thing is we maintainin

but yeah we face it - we doin this the best we can



[Singing: Shyna]

The best we can...we're gonna do this the best we can

the best we can, the best we can

we're gonna do this the best we can
