Life Aint Easy

When I get old Imma be real cool
Sittin on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes
Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids
Tell em to believe that we makin it big
And I know
That life is nothing easy (nothing easy)
One day, Imma change the world
And theyll finally believe me
From the outside looking in it seems that Im fine
But they dont know shit about the everyday grind
Time is money and money is time
They tell me get there at five but Im running behind
I try and live a little go and have a little fun
You only young once so all the hatin that be dumb
If life a joke then Im waiting for the punch
You all about the beef but me, Im bout the bun
The bread cause I was just a little knucklehead
Now I got my shit together spittin what they fuckin with
If they aint its great no intention to the hate
Nothing changed still cutting up Hennys still my drink
Im still the same old dude now makin moves
Its like everything I do front page news
I aint playin in this game to lose
I want it all no secret the change they can keep it
When I get old Imma be real cool
Sittin on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes
Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids
Tell em to believe that we makin it big
And I know
That life is nothing easy (nothing easy )
One day, Imma change the world
And theyll finally believe me
(hey)
My grandpa told me one day Ill be everything and more
Its better never to question every lesson thats in store
See its a blessin that Im gettin through the door
The money gonna fall, when it rain, it pours
Dear music, youre everything I have now
When theres an army commin for me I wont back down
Cause I never was a kid in the background
Just a class clown but whos laughing now
My moms cried when she saw me in a cap and gown
It feels great to see my family proud but
I make mistakes too
My people always tell me Mac
please dont ever let the fame change you
They say Im so different but it aint true
Still got the same girl, roll with the same crew
Im just doing what it takes for me to make do
And everyone around me gettin paid too
When I get old Imma be real cool
Sittin on the porch with a fresh pair of shoes
Whole bunch of stories for the neighborhood kids
Tell em to believe that we makin it big
And I know
That life is nothing easy (nothing easy)
One day, Imma change the world
And theyll finally believe me
