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
