It Wasnt Easy Video (MV)

Just No it Wasn't easy
Hard time Everybody feel
And Where was my daddy
Man I forgot that he was even real
I know we wasn't happy
I can't explain it made me who I am
So I'm glad it happen
Thank the lord we made it through the years
Just No it Wasn't easy
Hard time Everybody feel
And Where was my daddy
Man I forgot that he was even real
I know we wasn't happy
I can't explain it made me who I am
So I'm glad it happen
I Thank the lord we made it through the years
Ian have no daddy to raise me
My brothers nor sisters
It was harder on my momma
She played dual roles like she was two people
I didn't realize the effect It had on us until I growed up
You said that apples didn't fall to far from the tree
But apples can roll ma
I remember we strayed away
You prayed for us everyday
Please Protect us in the streets streets
And give us peace when we sleep
Yeah I remember when the lights went out
No hot water no cold water
The water bill overdue
So we took hot baths with that stove water
Just No it Wasn't easy
Hard time Everybody feel
And Where was my daddy
Man I forgot that he was even real
I know we wasn't happy
I can't explain it made me who I am
So I'm glad it happen
I Thank the lord we made it through the years
Aye its hard to focus
Too much on ya mind
About a million ways to grind
Brother with the wrong crowd
Now he gotta drug crime
On the bus headed home
Hope a note ain't on the door
Come to find out that it was
Now Ain got no hope no more
When we got evicted out the house
We ain't have nowhere to go
So I went to grandma house
Sleeping in the closet on the floor
And one night I seen a shooting star
So I made a wish
I said I wanna get through this shit by any means and be riches
Now every year I ain't have no christmases
But Ian trippin
It was tax season when that Christmas came for me
My grandma took us in
And only had 4 rooms in the house
But we got 13 People total
So let you figure it out
And for a couple years
Ian even have no bed and cover
And I ain't even want nobody to come over
Not even my own girl
From her I stayed undercover
I broke her heart
And then somebody came back
And Broke mines forever
Just No it Wasn't easy
Hard time Everybody feel
And Where was my daddy
Man I forgot that he was even real
I know we wasn't happy
I can't explain it made me who I am
So I'm glad it happen

And I despise sympathy
So Don't be showing me that
Cuz Im a young black man
So I get enough of that
And plus I come from one of the roughest cities up on the map
Thats why I choose my thang
So I can get my family out
Just know that life goes on
So you can choose to move on or hold on
Regardless of ya situation stay strong
And if ya ever need a shoulder to lean
Just know that I got cha
So I can tel ya how I moved On
