Eve & Teena Marie - Life Is So Hard lyrics

rate me

This song is a dedication<br />

To those strugglin' and livin' on<br />

For those who can't see the light, it's comin'<br />

Stay strong, feel me<br />

Ohh, yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />

Yeah yeah, ohh, ohh<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to send me light<br />

So I can touch my soul<br />

And always know right from wrong<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to touch my heart<br />

So He can ease the pain<br />

Anything to hide the scars<br />

<br />

Uhh, uhh<br />

Thank you God, I appreciate every blessin'<br />

Happiness to heartaches, take it as a lesson<br />

I learned a lot in this year<br />

Got a profession that keeps me stressin'<br />

Facin' criticism, answerin' questions<br />

And you still keep me happy and healthy<br />

<br />

Blessed with a mind to play the cards<br />

That life has dealt me<br />

No doubt I struggle, I cry at times<br />

Sometimes I wish I could live in a bubble<br />

And it gets hard not to stray to trouble<br />

<br />

I'm proud of me, got a family that holds me down<br />

Real friends 'cause the other ones<br />

Claim they don't know me now<br />

But long as God with me, I'ma be good for sure<br />

He's the one who picks me up<br />

When my face is to the floor<br />

<br />

Life is crazy, people never cease to amaze me<br />

Stay with stories by how<br />

They made me or raised me<br />

And it's funny 'cause everybody<br />

Seems to be so hungry<br />

Either they want my life<br />

Or they want my money<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to send me light<br />

So I can touch my soul<br />

And always know right from wrong<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to touch my heart<br />

So He can ease the pain<br />

Anything to hide the scars<br />

<br />

How can life be so hard?<br />

How can my life be so hard?<br />

Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong<br />

Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong<br />

<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Every day I pray<br />

Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong<br />

Whatever, whatever, whatever<br />

<br />

Uhh, been through a lot<br />

Still gotta watch my back 'cause people plot<br />

Close is to do you dirty just so they can take your spot<br />

Some days I feel like I wanna quit<br />

But I pray too long and dreamed and worked too hard for it<br />

Wouldn't trade my life, none even a little bit<br />

'Cause it could be worse for real, I could be turnin' tricks<br />

<br />

Might bitch and whine but always just in the back of my mind<br />

I could be livin' on the streets, nothin' to eat without a dime<br />

So I thank God, and I think why 'cause life's hard<br />

Meet a lot of people but always I'm puttin' up my guard<br />

'Cause you never know, some people snakes<br />

<br />

Some people give a lot but mostly not, most people take<br />

A lot of smilin', claimin' realness but most people fake<br />

Still gotta smile, 'cause that's what it takes<br />

Sometimes it's lonely<br />

I feel like people see me really don't know me<br />

But my best friend is Him, and I know He'll hold me<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to send me light<br />

So I can touch my soul<br />

And always know right from wrong<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to touch my heart<br />

So He can ease the pain<br />

Anything to hide the scars<br />

<br />

Uhh, uhh<br />

I got a lotta people on my side protectin' me<br />

Dee, Waah, Chivon, and the family<br />

Gotta thank God for them 'cause they keep me right<br />

I also thank Him every day for the love of my life<br />

I thank Him for this gift just to be able to write<br />

And rock crowds that scream my name, able to excite<br />

<br />

Thank God for my fans, I love the way they love me<br />

Happy that I'm comfortable, eatin', livin' lovely<br />

I love my life, still there's the pressure and pain<br />

So I make sure that I'm grounded and able to maintain<br />

A lotta people think I'm lucky, travelin' and hangin' out<br />

But if they only knew, I wish I could be hangin' out<br />

<br />

I'm bangin' out hits in the studio, I'm livin' low<br />

Makin' plans to last a lifetime<br />

Make sure I'm gettin' dough<br />

Huh, come on, just so the people know<br />

Uhh, come on, just so the people know<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to send me light<br />

So I can touch my soul<br />

And always know right from wrong<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to touch my heart<br />

So He can ease the pain<br />

Anything to hide the scars<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to send me light<br />

So I can touch my soul<br />

And always know right from wrong<br />

<br />

Livin' life is so hard<br />

Every day I pray to God<br />

Tell Him to touch my heart<br />

So He can ease the pain<br />

Anything to hide the scars
