It ain't always easy as it seem
For you not to get caught in between
Most of the things you heard and what you seen
You don't know what's real and make believe
It ain't always easy as it seem
For you not to get caught in between
Most of the things you heard and what you seen
You don't know what's real and make believe
Till you pass with flying colors, they don't wanna give you credit
When you seek validation from suckas, that should be expected
They wanna see you doing good, just not better than them
They be loud about your losses, but be quiet when you win
All the times I bounce back, that's why I'm jumping out the gym
Keep your head above water, either you drown or you swim
They try to knock you off the rails when they see that you on track
Tell the truth, they feel attacked, get defensive and detached
Tell me how I'm supposed to react when I've been counting all these stacks
And wasn't nobody calling back when my pockets was on flat
They'll try to tear your whole world down if you let them
I'm just standing here with my hands out ready to catch these blessings
It was lessons that I had to learn the hard way
Forget what y'all say, they think it's easy, I'm like hardly
But I ain't come to play, every single day it's obstacles
Trying to trip me up, only time you fail is when you decide that you giving up
It ain't always easy as it seem
For you not to get caught in between
Most of the things you heard and what you seen
You don't know what's real and make believe
It ain't always easy as it seem
For you not to get caught in between
Most of the things you heard and what you seen
You don't know what's real and make believe
