From the recording L.A.M.E. - The Bright Side
Lyrics
Intro:
When life gets hard
Where will u go
When life leave scars
Where will they show (repeat 2x)
Verse 1:
i'm a product of pain, & poverty
& all the thangs that i bottle deep
Down without complaints but they bother me
Same thangs that empower me
Is why I'm weak
(While I'm weak)
i'm strong enough to admit that
Life ain't sweet, at least not for me
Only break i get is in a track
(Break it down)
They say life's like a box of chocolates
Truth be told
U don't kno
What you're gonna get, that much is obvious Life is what u make it
So they say, everybody stop it
With all the lies
ALL the time
Sugarcoating shit, won't make shit sweet, bottom line
We were sold dreams, & i kno i bought a lot of mine
Cuz i needed hope
If ppl told
The truth in these quotes
We grew up hearing then when real shit happens it'd keep me afloat
It didn't going up shit's creek with no paddle, or even a boat
It's hard so
i'm drowning in my sorrow
God kno
i need em so
here i am like where's God tho
Where did God go
Now i need u most
God..
i can feel me slipping, living on the edge, holding onto pain, cuz letting go is hard
i've come so far
But not nearly enough
i'm nowhere near where I wanna end up
i feel like this might be the end but
Who knows? This is my life
Pre-Bridge:
Is this the way it's meant to be, Lord?
Lord...
Is this the life u meant for me, Lord?
Lord…
Is this the way it's meant to be, Lord?
Lord...
Is this the life u meant for me, Lord?
Lord…
Bridge:
No i don't like this, Lord, i don't...
i don't kno if i can keep going on like this
Lord i don't like this
No, i don't like this
i don't kno if i can keep going on like this
Lord i don't like this
No, i don't like this
i don't kno if i can keep going on like this
God, why i gotta live like this
Life is hard
Outro:
Living is oh so hard
Dying is easy
(Life is hard)
Living is oh so hard
Dying is easy
(Life is hard)
Living is oh so hard
But dying is easy
(Life is hard)
Oh my God...
