[Hook]

We can have peace, some days we gon' fight

And I'm gon' stay this way my whole life

Make it out the slums doin' wrong doin' right

Everything ain't easy

And lately

It's not candy from a baby

Makin' that gravy

Don't let it hold you back

So take heed, when I was young my momma told me that

Everything ain't easy

[Verse One] [Charlie Smarts]

When you see that long arm stretch

That I.R.S

Are we headed far? Yes

Make it out the projects

Small bills of cash and large checks

Credit card debt

Charles In Charge regardless

We don't try it unless it's our best

Smoke cigars when I'm stressed

Like them people talkin' funny with an accent

Money in that mattress

Sunny with them glasses on, and stay maxin' in

Boats and yachts and dope spots, the sho' shot

We deserve a toast cot

Haters seem to hope not

It don't stop

This is movement music

Got you groovin' to it

And we movin' units

Stackin' iceberg lettuce

Steady havin' cabbage

It's my turn to relish

Rocks with a lot of carrots and

Trips to Paris

Hits like Roger Maris

Give me an inch

I'm ballin' for Miles like Darius

Hilarious

[Hook]

We can have peace, some days we gon' fight

And I'm gon' stay this way my whole life

Make it out the slums doin' wrong doin' right

Everything ain't easy

And lately

It's not candy from a baby

Makin' that gravy

Don't let it hold you back

So take heed, when I was young my momma told me that

Everything ain't easy

[Verse Two] [Chaundon]

There's no money that's a problem

Mo' beef, no peace

If I don't get a piece I'm raisin' heat

Word to your Jesus piece

Grew up in the struggle, stomach growlin', niggas hungry

Gotta eat, lookin' toward the booth or streets to make this money

Use the rap game

(Make a name)

Cars, clothes

(And a chain)

Fly hoes, smoke dro, till we all

(Look the same)

Honestly I ain't in it for the culture

Ain't no love in this shit no more

Game full of vultures

So I keep my eyes on the prize

Go for delf

Cause I realize I'm in this world by myself

They say I'm livin' greasy y'all

(Everything ain't easy dawg)

Fuck that I'm doin' me

(I ain't here for please y'all)

Get the picture?

I thought Kodak told ya

A thousand words will open up the minds of Minolta

And when it's all said and done

I'll be where I need to be

It won't be easy

But I'll be where I need to be

[Hook]

We can have peace, some days we gon' fight

And I'm gon' stay this way my whole life

Make it out the slums doin' wrong doin' right

Everything ain't easy

And lately

It's not candy from a baby

Makin' that gravy

Don't let it hold you back

So take heed, when I was young my momma told me that

Everything ain't easy
