Hard Out Here
Verse 1: When I was younger, becoming of age I didn’t realize how the world affected me had my mind made a slave. And even though I was innocent streets can change that real quick. Either you’re down with the hustlers or you’re down with a click. Sick and tired of being bullied I thought I’d get myself a name. Make me a reputation got caught up in the game. So I hung out on the corners till they called me a thug. Had my pants pulled down low to show how hard I really was. And everywhere that I went, my name went with me. I didn’t realize that the enemy was working inside me. All I knows that it felt good to be loved so much. Though the people I had around me I knew I couldn’t trust. And when I looked in the mirror I didn’t like what I see. Cause when I laid my head down at night my mind had no peace. Then a voice deep inside me said “you know you ain’t right, would your soul be ready for me if I took it tonight”? Man……..
Chorus: Lord! It’s getting kinda hard out here. And I don’t see no God out here but I’m trying here but brothers and sisters are out here dieing here and Lord! If I put my trust in you. Promise that you’ll guide me thru, like I need you too. I’m calling you now so tell me what I should do.
Verse 2: When I was older, I was trapped in a curse. Cause I grew up in church and that only made things worse. I didn’t have a role model of what a saved life was. Cause all the Christians that I knew, I met them up at the club. And when we got around each other man they cursed just like me, drank just like me, still puffin on trees. So I thought that I was in. Kept living my life in sin, Kept staying out all night for whatever I could get in. And it’s not that I didn’t have a conscience I just gave it no thought. I forgot that you said my soul had been bought. It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same. My mouth kept getting me in trouble, my pride did the same. Not knowing, just going to church doesn’t make everything alright. Not knowing, how far away I really was from Christ. Not knowing, if he came tonight and took me in my bed. Not, knowing, if he came tonight, tomorrow I’d be dead. Man……..
Chorus: Lord! It’s getting kinda hard out here. And I don’t see no God out here but I’m trying here but brothers and sisters are out here dieing here and lord! If I put my trust in you, promise that you’ll guide me thru cause I need you to. I’m calling you now so tell me what I should do oh Lord! It’s getting kinda hard out here. And I don’t see no God out here, but I’m trying here but brothers and sisters are out here dieing here and Lord! You know what I’m going thru. So promise that you’ll guide me thru, cause I need you to, said I need you to, really need you to.
Verse 3: Man I’ve tried to live right, I even tried to live holy. And even though I repent my sins are still right before me. See I’ve done so much stuff that church life just bores me. See I’ve done so much stuff, Lord I feel that you’re ignoring me. But I try to live right but in the back of my mind I know my sins can catch up to me and you’ll be back any time. So what do I do now with this life that I have? Cause the way that I’m living I’m headed no where fast. All I got left is my name and bill collectors on my back. I’ve got 3 kids and no job and you want to tell me how to act. Forget that! Lord hope you hear me, cause I’m losing this fight. Seems like the only thing I have left is to take my own life. But wait…
That’s when I hear a voice say in my ear that the devil is a liar cause no matter what I’m here. Put your trust in me, you know I’ll lead the way. Just lay your life before me and everything will be ok.
You know all your old things passed away and you know. I was with you everytime you prayed and you know. I’ll be waiting everytime you call and you know, I’ll be there waiting time you fall. So all those heavy burdens you’re packin. All you do is bring them to the sun. And even though you feel all hope is go
