[Chorus]

Harder and harder, it's getting harder and harder, I know I gotta fight...there's only bitches and haters around me

Darker and darker, it's getting darker and darker, I barely see the light, no one to lean on, it feels like I'm drowning


[Verse]

They say live fast, die young, leave a fucking good looking corpse

But if you words are left unsung and your name is unknown - what could be worse?

I put everything I had on the line

Got so many fakers by my side, I left them behind

Put the keys in the ignition, everyday I'm on a grind

Still no recognition - they must be deaf or blind god damn

I'm a man on a mission, in my life i never lacked ambition

Music got me through the hardest times, when I had nuttin' but a fucking dream of being a musician

I ask God but he refuses to answer why he's covering my soul with bruises

And the scars deep inside that I don't reveal

If you think that you know me, no you don't for real

I hear them say "I got your back", but that's not what they mean

Talk is cheap, I see that all the backs are turned on me

You know from all these years in the game, I learned the lesson

If you want it, then go get it man, don't wait for blessing


[Chorus]

Harder and harder, it's getting harder and harder, I know I gotta fight...there's only bitches and haters around me

Darker and darker, it's getting darker and darker, I barely see the light, no one to lean on, it feels like I'm drowning


[Verse]

I’m not a type to lose my shit, break out in tears and whine

Even when everyone around me doesn’t know a single rhyme

That I stayed up late writing in notepad

Should I keep rhyming or go back?

As if it never happened to me, like I never had those dreams to get the gold plague

If I could only push the magic button and my name blows up at once, imagine

But instead I’m on a road sitting in a lambo with the broken engine

All I wanted was to cross the fucking border of the box, do something really big

But it’s hard to inspire other people when nobody does inspire me, you dig?

There’s my fault there I’m here alone, I don’t wanna fit in

That one silent kid in the class who is sitting with a grin

Handbrake off, eyes on the road, hold tight the steering wheel

If you don’t believe in yourself, than no one ever will


[Chorus]

Harder and harder, it's getting harder and harder, I know I gotta fight...there's only bitches and haters around me

Darker and darker, it's getting darker and darker, I barely see the light, no one to lean on, it feels like I'm drowning
