Eve - Life Is So Hard lyrics

(feat. Teena Marie) [Eve] This song is a dedication to those strugglin and livin on For those who can't see the light, it's comin Stay strong, feel me.. [echoes] [Teena Marie] Ooohhhh, yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah, oooohhhhhhh, oohhhohhhhh.. [Chorus: Teena Marie] Livin life is so hard Every day I pray to God Tell Him to send me light so I can touch my soul And always know right from wrong Livin life is so hard Every day I pray to God Tell Him to touch my heart so He can ease the pain Anything to hide the scars [Eve] Uhh, uhh Thank you God, I appreciate every blessin Happiness to heartaches, take it as a lesson I learned a lot in this year Got a profession that keeps me stressin Facin criticism, answerin questions And you still keep me happy and healthy Blessed with a mind to play the cards that life has dealt me No doubt I struggle, I cry at times Sometimes I wish I could live in a bubble And it gets hard not to stray to trouble I'm proud of me, got a family that holds me down Real friends 'cause the other ones claim they don't know me now But long as God with me, I'ma be good for sure He's the one who picks me up when my face is to the floor Life is crazy, people never cease to amaze me Stay with stories by how they made me or raised me And it's funny, 'cause everybody seems to be so hungry Either they want my life, or they want my money [Chorus] [Teena Marie] How can life be so hard? How can my life be so hard? Whatever doesn't k** me makes me strong Whatever doesn't k** me makes me strong Every day I pray to God Every day I pray Whatever doesn't k** me makes me strong Whatever, whatever, whatever [Eve] Uhh, been through a lot Still gotta watch my back 'cause people plot Close is to do you dirty just so they can take your spot Some days I feel like I wanna quit But I pray too long and dreamed and worked too hard for it Wouldn't trade my life, none even a little bit Cause it could be worse for real, I could be turnin tricks Might b**h and whine but always just in the back of my mind I could be livin on the streets, nothin to eat without a dime So I thank God, and I think why 'cause life's hard Meet a lot of people but always I'm puttin up my guard Cause you never know, some people snakes Some people give a lot but mostly not, most people take A lot of smilin claimin realness but most people fake Still gotta smile, 'cause that's what it takes Sometimes it's lonely I feel like people see me really don't know me But my best friend is Him, and I know He'll hold me [Chorus] [Eve] Uhh, uhh I got a lotta people on my side protectin me Dee, Waah, Chivon, and the family Gotta thank God for them 'cause they keep me right I also thank Him every day for the love of my life I thank Him, for this gift just to be able to write and rock crowds that scream my name, able to excite Thank God for my fans; I love the way they love me Happy that I'm comfortable, eatin, livin lovely I love my life, still there's the pressure and pain So I make sure that I'm grounded and able to maintain Alotta people think I'm lucky, travelin and hangin out But if they only knew, I +WISH+ I could be hangin out I'm bangin out hits, in the studio I'm livin low Makin plans to last a lifetime, make sure I'm gettin dough Huh, come on, just so the people know Uhh, come on, just so the people know [Chorus - 2X]
