Life Aint Easy Songtext / Lyric

When I get old, I'mma be real cool

Sittin' on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes

Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids

Tell 'em to believe that we makin' it big



And I know

That life is nothin' easy, nothin' easy

One day, I'mma change the world

And they'll finally believe me



From the outside lookin' in it seems that I'm fine

But they don't know shit about the everyday grind

Time is money, money is time

They tell me, get there at five but I'm runnin' behind



I try and live a lil', go and have a lil' fun

You only young once so the hatin' that be dumb

If life a joke then I'm waitin' for the pun

You all about the beef but me, I'm 'bout the bun the bread






'Cause I was just a little knucklehead

Now I got my shit together spittin' what they fuckin' with

If they ain't, it's great no intention to the hate

Nothing changed still cuttin' up, Henny's still my drink



I'm still the same old dude now makin' moves

It's like everythin' I do front page news

I ain't playin' in this game to lose

I want it all, no secret, the change, they can keep it



When I get old I'mma be real cool

Sittin' on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes

Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids

Tell 'em to believe that we makin' it big



And I know

That life is nothin' easy, nothin' easy

One day I'mma change the world

And they'll finally believe me



Hey, my grandpa told me one day I'll be everythin' and more

It's better never to question every lesson that's in store

See it's a blessin' that I'm gettin' through the door

The money gonna fall, when it rain, it pours



Dear music, you're everythin' I have now

When there's an army comin' for me I won't back down

'Cause I never was a kid in the background

Just a class clown but who's laughin' now



My mom's cried when she saw me in a cap and gown

It feels great to see my family proud but

I make mistakes too, my people always tell me

"Mac, please don't ever let the fame change you"



They say I'm so different but it ain't true

Still got the same girl, roll with the same crew

I'm just doin' what it takes for me to make do

And everyone around me gettin' paid too



When I get old I'mma be real cool

Sittin' on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes

Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids

Tell 'em to believe that we makin' it big



And I know

That life is nothin' easy, nothin' easy

One day I'mma change the world

And they'll finally believe me
