Rio - It Ain't Easy lyrics

(Laugh) It Ain't easy being Rio..... It ain't easy being that n***a Rio Cause that n***a Rio always need another G-yo n***as know my stilo the reals of life So before I give this up you'll have to k** me twice I'm rolling through my neighborhood feeling fresh and clean God bless the fiends for my success and dreams Cause when you living in the funk it's no hopes or dreams You can either slam dunk or sell dope to fiends I first scoped the scene when I was fourteen Dropped out of high school cause I needed more cream It was a war scene living on the south side of chi town Cause everybody was getting shot or getting locked down And I was hanging with these n***as for fame Cause though I needed change I was breeded to bang Hang as I slanged getting cheese for d** You just gotta know it ain't easy being a thug- It ain't easy growing up to be That n***a Rio when you living in the C Hey It ain't ain't easy growing up to be When everyone you see is going six feet deep Hey It ain't easy can't a n***a tell So many black men is either dead or in jail Can you tell it ain't easy Can you tell it ain't easy to be the Reeee' It was hard getting a job Getting interviewed by uncle tom man Bob And you know he just throb to turn me down Send a brother right back to the streets So now I gotta rob and I'm packing my heat Cause in these streets you never know when you'll Be taking your last they see I'm making my cash I got my tape in the dash.............. But gotta clear view I can see both n***as running Up through my rearview their getting near to So I take out my piece cause I'm gonna be a thug at least More slugs in the streets, going to court sh** judge gotta grudge now I'm coming up short They send me to a fort Now I'm sitting in a cell thinking about The times when I had alittle mail Couldn't prevail cause the same color brother Couldn't make a sale with me It's be my own brothers out to get me It ain't easy !! It ain't easy growing up to be That n***a Rio when you living in the C Hey It ain't ain't easy growing up to be When everyone you see is going six feet deep Hey It ain't easy can't a n***a tell So many black men is either dead or in jail Can you tell it ain't easy Can you tell it ain't easy to be the Reeee' That's why you gotta ball every chance you get And when you think you got it all you must advance yo sh** Cause sh** n***as get jealous Your thinking their your fellas They plotting on your a** with the wooden sweat-us They wouldn't let us come together Like back in the days before the crack and the crave And all the gats that den sprayed Is it late now I gotta a whole black race Running streets with the hate now is this the fate now Even with a sound we don't listen to this The only time they come around is when I glisten my wrist I'm on a mission to list every friend that I had That was all on my sh** back when I was doing bad That's sad but I gotta stay motivated They steady wanna please me now that I made it sh** It ain't easy just look at my skin Being that n***a Rio without family or friends It ain't easy- [2X] It ain't easy growing up to be That n***a Rio when you living in the C Hey It ain't ain't easy growing up to be When everyone you see is going six feet deep Hey It ain't easy can't a n***a tell So many black men is either dead or in jail Can you tell it ain't easy Can you tell it ain't easy to be Rio
