hard on yourself

you try to do your best but never seem to get far, no gas in the car, looking for a buck in a jar, your ex girl's on the phone saying life is hard, and that bitch left you with no money on your cards, you're lying to yourself with no pause, how it's all part of your plan and written in the stars, in the real world you're sugarcoating your flaws, you've just lost your job and you shitted on your boss, and the rent is due but nobody wants to hear what you've been through, you're blaming everyone and how they did you, everybody is looking at you in their rear view, it's like you're doing everything that you should not do, why are you looking in the mirror when it's not you, standing on the corner until the block cools, with something tucked in your belt, why you make hard on yourself, don't make it hard on yourself bro, years gone by, got something on your mind, no matter how hard you try, you try, why you make it hard on yourself, why you make it hard on yourself, why you make it hard on yourself, it's like your glass is always half empty, but keep picturing yourself driving in that bentley, now picture yourself on the opposite of rich, and that's exactly what you get it if you don't step it up, quick, you never think about tomorrow, your stress is getting worse with every penny you've borrowed, you might as well start packing up while you're staring at your mailbox, bills stacking by the truckload, trying to fool the whole world but your momma knows, she already knows how that song goes, your pops was a rolling stone, the apple never fell far from home, and no body's picking up their phone, they don't wanna hear the same old shit in the same sorry ass tone, in the meantime tell them that you don't need no help, listen, why you make it hard on yourself, don't make it hard on yourself bro, years gone by, got something on your mind, no matter how hard you try, you try, why you make it hard on yourself, why you make it hard on yourself, why you make it hard on yourself
