Ain't Too Hard

(album: Islah - 2016)

These tats on my face don't mean nothing
I was locked up, that don't mean nothing
When you make it through the struggle it tend to mean hustle
The only one in my life that kinda mean something

[Hook:]
I ain't too hard to tell you how I feel
When you tat my name on, it make me know it's real
I ain't too hard to tell you how I feel
What you say you don't do, girl you know I will
I'm just the realest that you done met
I'm just the realest that you done met
I'm just the realest that you done met
Still surprised you haven't noticed it yet
The realest you ever met

I hustle on backpage, now I got her face down
Frowning why she take it, she don't like to make sounds
Bought a one way ticket, put her on the Greyhound
Working our hotels right before they played out
What's the problem? Why you not smilin'? We in the prime of our life
Supposed to be having the time of our life
Excuse the misunderstanding, sometimes you be so demanding
Don't like to be told what to do, difficult but we manage
Said some things I didn't mean, caused emotional damage
I love the streets, I'm a gangster, I like to be in them daily
Your mother love me like a son but I'm not seeing me changing
A lot of built up frustration due to past situations

[Hook:]
I ain't too hard to tell you how I feel
When you tat my name on, it make me know it's real
I ain't too hard to tell you how I feel
What you say you don't do, girl you know I will
I'm just the realest that you done met
I'm just the realest that you done met
I'm just the realest that you done met
Still surprised you haven't noticed it yet
The realest you ever met

Turned a hooker to a housewife and people say "how?"
Million dollar vision, you just gotta stay down
Don't get all in your feelin's they gon' throw your weight around
She gon' kill herself if I leave but she know I don't play around
Got one text in this evening, say she just made it in town
Wondering if I could see her, got some things to figure out
I ain't mean it, I was bluffing, thinking please don't leave me now
Boys II Men, I'm down on bended knees listening to The Weeknd
Now friends hate me saying "girl look when did he get out?"
My mother left when I was young
I'm commitment shy so when feelin's get involved I tend to run
Sometimes emotions get the best of me clearly
And I ain't never tried to straddle no fences
Been back and forth for a minute
And I know I seem rough
I've been hurt and you the only one that mean something

[Hook:]
I ain't too hard to tell you how I feel
When you tat my name on, it make me know it's real
I ain't too hard to tell you how I feel
What you say you don't do, girl you know I will
I'm just the realest that you done met
I'm just the realest that you done met
I'm just the realest that you done met
Still surprised you haven't noticed it yet
The realest you ever met
