It Ain’t Easy

• Cypress Hill
• Stoned Raiders

I remember times I hustle, times I struggle

Times I had to get over the everyday shuffle

People tryin’ to muffle my thoughts and all my dreams too

People who I thought were down, and see true

But I blame me too ‘cos it’s a Chronicle

My life, I realise I’m responsible for obstacles

In front of me, my own self to blame

But I worked hard to receive the wealth and fame

It’s a worthless game, but if you’re willing to play

There’s sharks in the water who are, willing to pay

The price of your soul, but if you give it away

You silly motherfuckers are all commited to stay

It’s a cold world, but you still want a part of it

So then you’d better fuck around and learn the art of it

Don’t walk through life with your blinders on

‘Cos you’ll keep goin’ crazy ’til your mind is gone

It Ain’t Easy,

but you got people tryin’, to put you down, believe me

I keep gainin’ ground, It Ain’t Easy

How many times, must you decieve me?

I been around for many days, of musical mainstays

Cypress, is Worldwide and we like it that way

You can’t fade-ER, or compare TO

The Original Pyscho-Baiter

Got the next rhyme and we’ll check you all later

Can’t nobody fuck with them Cypress Hill Raiders

Heard it all before and I don’t need no more

Advice on the game and how to kick hardcore

Played the game out here with the best

Toured around the world and got big respect

Now, what’s (?) all with this year 2000’s?

We puttin the Smackdown and we ain’t clownin’

Not many have lasted

Since we first blasted

Up on the scene, singin’ about the dream

Recruitin’ for our team, niggas know what I mean

?Damn?, you defy, when you live or die

Times I hated, times I waited

Times I went by where I was drunk and faded

They said I wouldn’t make it, but where are those people now?

Still hatin’, creatin’ all the evil now

Your insecurties are showin’, exposin’ you

You’re trippin’ on me and showin’ emotions too

Don’t you spend your life full of envy, it’s deadly

Heed me, as I spit the venom believe me

I keep my guard up, and always let you see my rage

I get pissed, like a pitbull in a cage (barking)

Not that many can deal with the fury

Attack and ransack and kill in a hurry

I kill and observe and go in an instant

I bring the pain like the ?Rampark? Prison

I kept it right for the brother to the ?Chullo?

Something I bump when your gates in the (?)

It Ain’t Easy,

but you got people tryin’, to put you down, believe me

I keep gainin’ ground, It Ain’t Easy

It Ain’t Easy, yo, It Ain’t Easy
