Hardlife

You, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you, you
Damn, boy, you-ooh
Yoo-ooh

You say you a soldier, but baby, I'm a soldier
Tired of bein' strong, and I'm only gettin' older
I did it by myself (Well), ain't have nobody else (Else)
Then if I had some help, then I had to pay
What kinda shit is that? Just do it 'cause you say
'Cause you say you love me (Love me)
'Cause you say you care (Care)
'Cause you say you love me (Love me)
And you wanna be there

It's the audacity, what you have asked of me
You say you want me soft, but give me a hard life
It's the audacity, what you have asked of me
You say you want me soft, but give me a hard life
You know that ain't right

Tired of seein' all these, all these (All these)
Spanish and these white bitches
Livin' they soft life with they feet kicked up
And they glass in hand, bills paid, thanks to the man
Know how to lead and he got a plan
Faithful and help 'round the house
And with the kid, could it be a reality from me and mine?
Be, be strong sister, strong, strong, strong (Be strong, sister)
You got it, you so strong sister, strong, strong (Go ahead and be strong, sister)
Be strong sister, strong, strong, strong (Know you gotta be strong, sister)
You doin' good sister, just go and carry on

Me and my, me and my, me and my
Women who look like me
Me and my friends, my momma, my sister
Elders and aunties, all of my kin
Me and my, me and my, me and my
Me and all my black queens
Me and my, me and my, me and my
When will we get what we need?
