[Verse 1: B-Real]

I remember times I hustle, times I struggle

Times I had to get over the everyday shuffle

People trying to muffle my thoughts and all my dreams too

People who I thought were down, and see true

But I blame me too 'cause 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 committed 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

'Cause you'll keep going crazy till your mind is gone

[Chorus: B-Real (repeat 2x)]

It Ain't Easy

But you got people trying, to put you down, believe me

I keep gaining ground, It Ain't Easy

How many times, must you deceive me?

[Verse 2: Sen Dog]

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 putting the Smackdown and we ain't clowning

Not many have lasted

Since we first blasted

Up on the scene, singing about the dream

Recruiting for our team, niggas know what I mean?

Damn, you defy, when you live or die

[Chorus: B-Real (repeat 2x)]

It Ain't Easy

But you got people trying, to put you down, believe me

I keep gaining ground, It Ain't Easy

How many times, must you deceive me?

[Verse 3: B-Real]

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 hating, creating all the evil now

Your insecurities are showing, exposing you

You're tripping on me and showing emotions too

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

Heed me, as I spit the venom believe me

[Verse 4: Sen Dog]

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 Rampart precinct

I kept it right for the brother in the chullo

Something I bump when your gates in the (?)

[Chorus: B-Real (repeat 2x)]

It Ain't Easy

But you got people trying, to put you down, believe me

I keep gaining ground, It Ain't Easy

How many times, must you deceive me?
