Life Is So Hard lyrics

[Intro: Eve & Teena Marie]

This song is a dedication to those strugglin' and livin' on

For those who can't see the light, it's comin'

Stay strong, feel me..

Ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, ooh, ooh

[Chorus: Teena Marie]

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to send me light so I can touch my soul

And always know right from wrong

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to touch my heart so He can ease the pain

Anything to hide the scars

[Verse 1: Eve]

Uh, uh

Thank you God, I appreciate every blessin'

Happiness to heartaches, take it as a lesson

I learned a lot in this year

Got a profession that keeps me stressin'

Facin' criticism, answerin' questions

And you still keep me happy and healthy

Blessed with a mind to play the cards that life has dealt me

No doubt I struggle, I cry at times

Sometimes I wish I could live in a bubble

And it gets hard not to stray to trouble

I'm proud of me, got a family that holds me down

Real friends 'cause the other ones claim they don't know me now

But long as God with me, I'ma be good for sure

He's the one who picks me up when my face is to the floor

Life is crazy, people never cease to amaze me

Stay with stories by how they made me or raised me

And it's funny 'cause everybody seems to be so hungry

Either they want my life, or they want my money

[Chorus: Teena Marie]

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to send me light so I can touch my soul

And always know right from wrong

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to touch my heart so He can ease the pain

Anything to hide the scars

[Verse 2: Teena Marie]

How can life be so hard?

How can my life be so hard?

Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong

Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong

Every day I pray to God

Every day I pray

Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong

Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Verse 3: Eve]

Uh, been through a lot

Still gotta watch my back 'cause people plot

Closest to do you dirty just to take away your spot

Some days I feel like I wanna quit

But I pray too long and dreamed and worked too hard for it

Wouldn't trade my life, none even a little bit

'Cause it could be worse for real, I could be turnin' tricks

Might bitch and whine but always just in the back of my mind

I could be livin' on the streets, nothin' to eat without a dime

So I thank God, and I think why 'cause life's hard

Meet a lot of people but always I'm puttin' up my guard

'Cause you never know, some people snakes

Some people give a lot but mostly not, most people take

A lot of smilin' claimin' realness but most people fake

Still gotta smile, 'cause that's what it takes

Sometimes it's lonely

I feel like people see me really don't know me

But my best friend is Him, and I know He'll hold me

[Chorus: Teena Marie]

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to send me light so I can touch my soul

And always know right from wrong

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to touch my heart so He can ease the pain

Anything to hide the scars

[Verse 4: Eve]

Uh, uh

I got a lotta people on my side protectin' me

Dee, Waah, Chivon, and the family

Gotta thank God for them 'cause they keep me right

I also thank Him every day for the love of my life

I thank Him, for this gift just to be able to write

And rock crowds that scream my name, able to excite

Thank God for my fans, I love the way they love me

Happy that I'm comfortable, eatin', livin' lovely

I love my life, still there's the pressure and pain

So I make sure that I'm grounded and able to maintain

A lotta people think I'm lucky, travelin' and hangin' out

But if they only knew, I wish could be hangin' out

I'm bangin' out hits, in the studio I'm livin' low

Makin' plans to last a lifetime, make sure I'm gettin' dough

Huh, come on, just so the people know

Uh, come on, just so the people know

[Chorus: Teena Marie]

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to send me light so I can touch my soul

And always know right from wrong

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to touch my heart so He can ease the pain

Anything to hide the scars

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to send me light so I can touch my soul

And always know right from wrong

Living life is so hard

Every day I pray to God

Tell Him to touch my heart so He can ease the pain

Anything to hide the scars
