Lyrics

Why is life so hard?
Why is life so hard?
Oh, why is life so hard?

I try my best to stay positive
And I do my best to get “out there”
They tell me I only have one life to live
But love seems to flutter away into thin air

The drugs, the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
Oh, the drugs weren’t mine
The drugs, the drugs, the drugs, the drugs
Weren’t mine

I was driving my baby to preschool
I strapped her in nice and tight
I saw the red and blue in my rearview
And you know it gave me such a fright

Without any hesitation
He said [license and registration]
I opened the glove box and reached around in there
When a poof of white powder came out into the air

Why is life so hard? (Oh, why, why is life so hard?)
Why is life so hard? (Why is life so hard?)
Why is life so hard? (Oh, why is life so hard?)
Why is life so hard? (Why is life so hard?)

It’s been twenty some years and my baby’s grown
You know I took the rap for my nephew Clovus, hmm
But I learned to love a woman in this concrete home
And I harbor no resentment even though the rap was bogus, okay

I said
Why is life so hard? (Why is life so hard?)
Why is life so hard? (Why is life so hard?)
Next time I have my nephew stay with me (Why is life so hard?)
You know he ain’t gonna borrow my car (Why is life so hard?)
Put nothing in the glove box (Why is life so hard?)
Twenty some years and I’m gay for the state
Ooh, Why is life so damn hard? (Why is life so hard?)
Shit (The drugs, the drugs, the drugs, the drugs weren’t mine)
Hmm
Why is it so hard?
Well the drugs, you know they weren’t mine
Thank you
Okay
Good night
