Hard Out Here

After years and fears and smiling through my tears

All I ask of you, open your ears

'Cause the truth ain't pretty my dear

It's been dark, been hard out here

On my way, figured a way, a way out

My pen is a gun, pen is a gun

I'm finna spray now

He said I was out, said I was done

Look at his face now

Tell them boys

Feeling them boys

Meet at the stake house

I been a mess

So I'm in a dress

And I got my cakes out

Sleeping on her, sleeping on me

I'm your face now

What you know about hustlin'?

As a young girl in the dungeons

What you know about making amends with the devil

It's in your face, you must pretend (uh)

[?]

But I'm an actor, smile at your face

All of the pricks, all of the wankеrs

I had to chill, smoke it away, manage my anger

What you know about systеms?

About drugged drinks

Fucking nearly dying from addiction

You start to wonder why I'm Christian

Without the lord I'd take my life

All the times I'd been a victim

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)

Baby, I bounce back

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)

I bounce back

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)

All the white men CEOs, fuck your privilege

Get your pink chubby hands off my mouth

Fuck you think this is?

I told my lawyer stand by

There is no wrath like a woman's scorn

Now bet you wish

I been too nice, triple the price

Give me the whole bag

These motherfuckers shitting on me

Am I a wag? Never again

Top of the day, top of the day to you

Full of the shit, I'ma say it to you

See I flow when I'm in pain, then I'ma pray for you

What you know about violence?

Now it's time to cut the violins

Can't see you, I'm looking at the inside of my eyelids

Don't ever stop fighting, all in God's timing, timing

And I'm about to have these grown men crying

You wasn't trying, you was sitting on diamonds

You gonna have to see me now, I'm shining

Hyped up, blinding, very fucking frightening

All these lies, now I see it so clear

But girls like me from the bottom of the tier

Believe that it's always been hard out here

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)

Baby, I bounce back

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)

I bounce back

(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)
