Dear Father (It Ain't Eazy) Songtext
von D. Eazy

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
