Hard Out Here.

(album: My 21st Century Blues - 2023)

After years and fears and smiling through my tears
All I ask of you is open your ears
'Cause the truth ain't pretty my dear
It's been dark been hard out

Uh
On my way
Figured a way, figured a way out
My pen is a gun pen is a gun
I'm finna spray now
He said I was out
Said I was done, look at his face now
Mm-mm-mm-mm, oh-oh

Tell them boys, feeling them boys
Meet at the steak house
I been a mess so I'm in a dress
And I got my cakes out
Sleeping on her, sleeping on me
I'm in your face now
No-no-no-no, no, no

What do you know about hustling
As a young girl (Young girl) in the dungeons (Dungeons)?
What you know about making amends?
With the devils in your face you must pretend (Uh)

CR0
I'm from the ends but I'm a actor
Smile in your face
All of the pricks, all of the wankers
I had to chill, smoke it away
Manage my anger

Ooh, what you know about systems
About drugged drinks
Fucking nearly dying from addictions?
You start to wonder why I'm Christian
Without the Lord I'd take my life for all the times I've been a victim

Ooh, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back
(Baby, I bounce back)
Bounce, bounce, bounce back
Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back (Mm)
No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back
(Baby, I bounce back)
Bounce, bounce, bounce back
Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back
No weapon formed against me shall ever—

All the white-men CEOs, fuck your privilege
Get your pink chubby hands off my mouth
Fuck you think this is?
I told my lawyer stand by
(War)
There is no wrath like a woman scorned
Uh, now I bet you wish

Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back
Devil's a liar, I am the guy
Call me the Conrad
I been too nice
Triple the price
Pay me the whole bag
These motherfuckers cheating on me
Am I a wag? (Never again)
Top of the day, top of the day, top of the day to you
This LP's
Full of the shit
I'm gonna say to you
(Ooh) See how I flow when I'm in pain
I'm gonna pray for you
Then I'm a aim for you
And it's a shame for you
Shame for you

Oh yeah
What you know about violence?
I'm on smoke now
Babe, I think it's time to cut the violins
Can't see you
I'm looking at the inside of my eyelids
I'll never stop fighting
All in God's timing
Timing

And I'm about to have these grown men crying
You wasn't trying
You was sitting on diamonds

Mm, you gon' have to see me now, I'm shining
Hyped up
Blinding
Very fucking frightening
All these lies, now I see it so clear
See for girls like me
From the bottom of the tier
Believe that it's always been hard out here

Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back
(Baby, I bounce back)
Bounce, bounce, bounce back
Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back (Mm)
No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back
(Baby, I bounce back)
Bounce, bounce, bounce back
Baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce— baby, I bounce back
No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
