Dear Father (It Ain't Eazy) (feat. Chris Notez & Reno Brown)

Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 In the middle of the night,
 I hear gunshots go off by my window, window
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy 'round here
 The streets is so cold, it's hard to hold a smile
 I'm in the hood and I've been pushing blow for awhile
 And things ain't looking up, niggaz is in denial
 And I ain't seen no better days beyond all the trials
 I walked the church isles and prayed for God's hand
 To lead me through the jungle cuz imma lost man
 Still no response, damn been through a lot fam
 And all I'm searching for is peace up on the blocks and
 All I see is murder Dope fiends and Johnny law
 And niggaz struggling, please believe it, man, I've seen it all
 If you a ghetto product and you've got it hard
 This one's for you cuz it ain't easy being who you are
 (Hook)
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 In the middle of the night,
 I hear gunshots go off by my window, window
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy 'round here
 Murder and drug-abusing, Alcohol and prostitution
 The streets are not protected under America's constitution
 Got cops and criminals and they both can't seem to stop the shooting
 So we hit the 40 and the blunt like now we got solutions
 Bullet holes I stop signs, crack sells I got mine
 But can we stop crime so our mothers stop crying?
 D-Eazy yeah I got us, we both them ghetto products
 I love the ghetto so don't ever let the ghetto stop us
 Don't let me get some paper cuz I can do some good
 If I get rich then I gotta give back and I'm gunna give to the hood
 To all my ghetto people, keep your chin proud and high
 Cuz all you gotta do in life is just stay brown and die
 (Hook)
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 In the middle of the night,
 I hear gunshots go off by my window, window
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy 'round here
 (Chris Notez Bridge)
 Whoa, it makes me wanna say
 It makes me wanna say
 Oh, Oh Oh
 I've been to California and Phoenix Arizona
 It's all the same struggle nigga just a different corner
 We see an OD daily out in Espanola
 G the struggle never stops it's like it's taking over
 It's hard to stay sober when you know you're living greasy
 The hood ain't all that shit you niggaz see on the TV
 Believe me homie none of y'all out there wanna be me
 This life we lead ain't easy ask Reno Beazy
 (Reno Brown)
 I make a little money but every day it's spent
 And with the price of gas, it's hard for me to pay the rent
 Livin' that check to check ain't never been easy
 Fuck a nine to five cuz I grind cuz
 minimum wedge will never allow me to find a
 Way out of this struggle and suffering
 So my mother and sisters stop worrying
 that I'm hitting the streets and hustling
 Customers keep on coming in dozens and have to pay
 But that's the ghetto and it keeps you trapped until you pass away
 (Hook)
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy
 In the middle of the night,
 I hear gunshots go off by my window, window
 Dear father
 It ain't easy, it ain't easy; it ain't easy, it ain't easy 'round here
