From the recordings Do This Alone: 2 and Do This Alone: 2
Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
Ayo
This a little song I wrote, yeah, to explain a few things
Because.. these days
[Chorus] (x2)
Its tough
When there's no money in the bank and you've had enough
It's tough
And everywhere you turn is a dead end
Walking through life without best friends
It's what?
It's tough
[Verse 1]
You ask the man in the sky why you feel this way
Why he'd build a place where people kill for scrapes
It's tough - tryna nurture a skill this great
It's tough - when you got bills to pay
I wanna trade lives with Bill Gates and make ill papes
50 was patient, but I don't think I will wait
SERIOUS if I'm not signed before 25
I know plenty guys that'd buy my mic for any price
Life's tough without a bitch on my arm
Out of work for six months, I literally starved
Shit's getting heavy, plus I ain't getting any gigs
Pounds look after themselves, but I'm even penniless
Barely gripping onto this life I'm holding onta
Funny thing is, I don't even think that I want ta
Just hanging on in the same old loop
Thinking 'tough shit' that's the plain old truth
[Chorus] (x2)
Its tough
When there's no money in the bank and you've had enough
It's tough
And everywhere you turn is a dead end
Walking through life without best friends
It's what?
It's tough
[Verse 2]
Problems? Man I got a fair amount
And if you're lucky, I might share 'em out
It's like I never allowed some time for myself
They were in the spot light while I got left behind on the shelf
These days, I'm just stressed to fuck
But not too stressed to fuck
And plus, I can't rest enough
Job opportunities, man I messed them up
I carry this rap shit
Married to the tracks I have bitch, I mastered the magic
A bandit that'll never abandon my aim
Handle my name, stuck to it like a candle and a flame
Built my fanbase
An elite following of people that give my tracks plays
Telling myself I'm bound to get signed one day
But if it don't happen fuck it, it's tough enough being K
[Chorus] (x2)
Its tough
When there's no money in the bank and you've had enough
It's tough
And everywhere you turn is a dead end
Walking through life without best friends
It's what?
It's tough
It's tough
It's tough
It's tough
It's tough
[Outro]
So what do you know, about having like 25 to 30 quid for 2 weeks shopping?
Making 3 meals out of 1 meal?
You ever cook a roast and then make a stew out of it for the next 2 or 3 dinners?
I've lived like that! Ha!
