Uh

What's harder? Life or mr. Carter?

Balling 'til my hair is as white as johnny carson

You don't have to beg because I'm fresh out of pardons

Little voices in my head said: Don't mind the little voices (woah)

What's sharper? Spikes or mr. Carter

I ride for this shit like a knight in shining armor

I pile up the swishers, roll 'em tight like underarmour

Coming from this neighborhood, it's just like coming from comas

I got-

What's harder? Life or mr. Carter

Balling 'til my hair is as white as johnny carson

You don't have to beg because I'm fresh out of pardons

Little voices in my head said:don't mind the little voices (woah)

What's sharper? Spikes or mr. Carter

I ride for this shit like a knight in shining armor

I pile up the swishers, roll 'em tight like underarmour

Coming from this neighborhood, it's just like coming from comas

I got homies from the old school and we been lost our diplomas

Got some hoes from California and they shit smell like begonia's

Got a bone to pick, I'm boneless, that's a bonus

Tim duncan, tony parker, pop up at the spur of the moment

How you want it?

When in hell, I'm a roman

Head on fire, I'm a comet, heat up out my abdomen

And you know it, man I'm all about my business

Business handle business for me

I know you know life's a bitch, I turned her to a business woman

Mind your business, I'm like-

What's harder? Life or mr. Carter?

What's higher? The price or mr. Carter?

Should I call you mystery 'cause I'm right here to solve you

If you start this here off right, I spray that on you

I made it, I made it with you

You hit it, I made it on you

You know the streets talk, my nigga, I made 'em argue

Niggas faded away, I light one and get faded for you

I'm reclining weezy baby, lazy boy do they enjoy you?

I'm like-

What's harder? Life or mr. Carter? (yeah, uh)

What's shorter? Life or mr. Carter? (ha)

I asked, what's harder? Jail or mr. Carter?

School or mr. Carter?

Rules or mr. Carter?

Man: What's harder? Drugs or mr. Carter?

Judge or mr. Carter?

Mr. Carter, huh?

What's harder? Love or mr. Carter

Especially when these hoes ain't right, these hoes ain't loyal

Shit, what's wrong or right? And what's the order?

I know this ak will get shit right and fix the toilet

I'll be a-okay as long as my wife could cook a quarter

The type of shit I won't take for granted, need the marble

See, you can't believe in all of the hype you hear at the barber

If the odds are stacked against us, they're likely to stack 'em on us

Lil tune, aka no cartoon, no hanna-barbera

I ain't steal it, I took it, I ain't crooked, I'm cat and cornered

And if my fruits of labor were ripe, I would have an orchard

But I'm nauseous from my ups and downs and back and forwards

Shit, mr. Carter, eyes are always on ya

Throw a five in the air for c5 like, "hi, how are you?

Shit, what's harder? Drugs or mr. Carter?

The world is on my shoulder, I shrug to get it off from shit

What's harder? Life or mr. Carter?

Tune in this bitch, let's spike the holy water

Tryna stay grounded, my flights said no departures

Shit, what's harder? Murder or abortion?

Woah, what's harder? Death or mr. Carter?

Is it easier to play deaf or to listen harder?

I'm like: Girl, what's harder than life for mr. Carter?

Shit get hard, but I'ma termite to turmoil

Was it easier to change diapers or back to normal?

Times are changing like father time just lost it's father

What's harder? To ask for sorrow or to borrow

Or to propose and get: I don't know?

I don't know

What's harder than being mrs. Carter?

What's harder than being mrs. Carter?

What's harder than being mrs. Carter?

What's harder than being mr. Carter?

Uh, what's harder than being mr. Carter?

What's harder than being mr. Carter?

What's harder than being mr. Carter?

What's harder than being mr. Carter?

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
