[Laugh] It Ain't easy being Rio.....



It ain't easy being that nigga Rio

Cause that nigga Rio always need another G-yo

niggaz know my stilo the reals of life

so before I give this up you'll have to kill me twice

I'm rolling through my neighborhood feeling fresh and clean

God bless the fiends for my success and dreams

Cause when you living in the funk it's no hopes or dreams

You can either slam dunk or sell dope to fiends

I first scoped the scene when I was fourteen

dropped out of high school cause I needed more cream

It was a war scene living on the south side of chi town

Cause everybody was getting shot or getting locked down

And I was hanging with these niggaz for fame

cause though I needed change I was breeded to bang

Hang as I slanged getting cheese for drugs

You just gotta know it ain't easy being a thug-



It ain't easy growing up to be

That nigga Rio when you living in the C

Hey It ain't ain't easy growing up to be

When everyone you see is going six feet deep

Hey It ain't easy can't a nigga tell

So many black men is either dead or in jail

Can you tell it ain't easy

Can you tell it ain't easy to be the Reeee'



It was hard getting a job

Getting interviewed by uncle tom man Bob

And you know he just throb to turn me down

send a brother right back to the streets

So now I gotta rob and I'm packing my heat

Cause in these streets you never know when you'll

Be taking your last they see I'm making my cash

I got my tape in the dash..............

But gotta clear view I can see both niggaz running

Up through my rearview their getting near to

So I take out my piece cause I'm gonna be a thug at least

More slugs in the streets, going to court

Shit judge gotta grudge now I'm coming up short

they send me to a fort

now I'm sitting in a cell thinking about

the times when I had alittle mail

couldn't prevail cause the same color brother

couldn't make a sale with me

it's be my own brothers out to get me

It ain't easy !!



It ain't easy growing up to be

That nigga Rio when you living in the C

Hey It ain't ain't easy growing up to be

When everyone you see is going six feet deep

Hey It ain't easy can't a nigga tell

So many black men is either dead or in jail

Can you tell it ain't easy

Can you tell it ain't easy to be the Reeee'



That's why you gotta ball every chance you get

and when you think you got it all you must advance yo shit

cause shit niggaz get jealous

your thinking their your fellas

they plotting on your ass with the wooden sweat-us

They wouldn't let us come together

Like back in the days before the crack and the crave

And all the gats that den sprayed

Is it late now I gotta a whole black race

running streets with the hate now is this the fate now

even with a sound we don't listen to this

the only time they come around is when I glisten my wrist

I'm on a mission to list every friend that I had

that was all on my shit back when I was doing bad

that's sad but I gotta stay motivated

They steady wanna please me now that I made it

Shit It ain't easy just look at my skin

Being that nigga Rio without family or friends

It ain't easy-
