[Bridge + Verse 1: Queen Drie]
It’s been a hard road to walk
It’s been a hard hard couple shoes to break in
It’s been a hard bridge to cross
It’s been some hard times but ya girl was on her ten toes
It’s been a hard code to live by
Decisions I made young bully had to cut ties
I ain’t meant to do it no mama
Ya girl had to ma they gave me all that trauma
It’s been a hard life
Mad decisions I gotta live with
It’s been some cold nights cold sweats cold floors (aye)
Your girl ain’t had no home (yeah)
PTSD had me stuck
Everything I know yeah I learned it from these streets
Did it for the homies back against the concrete
Now these same streets want fit do me dirty

[Chorus: Queen Drie]
Cause how you gon come up when yo homies they be plotting you
How you gon come up when the guys steady clowning you
How you gon do it 2 kids and the rent due
Mama how you do it do do it yeah I commend you
How you gonna make it locked up penitential
Flx God let him out the mother can hoe (free flxgd)
If Drie on the beat it’s a done deal
Ima b-beat it beat it repeat it instrumental

{Verse 2: Queen Drie]
Said he want fi come over me yard we a bump and grind
Roll up a blunt and do the dirty wine
Me tell him me haffi busy me a got lot pon mi mind

Dema guys they want take me for a joke

We gon make it for the hood
Never chasing Hollywood

And the world will know us

[Bridge + Verse 3: Queen Drie]
It’s been a hard road to walk
It’s been a hard hard couple shoes to break in
It’s been a hard bridge to cross
It’s been some hard times but ya girl was on her ten toes
It’s been a hard code to live by
Decisions I made young bully had to cut ties
I ain’t meant to do it no mama
Ya girl had to ma they gave me all that trauma
It’s been hard tryna live it up
I been in the yard tryna get my money up
Got a big dream big goal goal
Big God God yeah my God he is bigger
It’s been a hard life
Mad decisions I gotta live with
It’s been some cold nights cold sweats cold floors (aye)
Your girl ain’t had no home

[Chorus: Queen Drie]
Cause how you gonna come up when yo homies they be plotting you
How you gon come up when these motherfuckas doubting you
How you gonna come up when yo bloodas they be hating on yo shit
Don’t wanna hear yo shit
How you gonna make it 2 kids and the rent due
Mama how we ever ever made it I commend you
If you wanna make it gotta believe in the Jah boo
Do you know you
Who you who you say your prayers to

[Bridge: Queen Drie]
This is my testimony
I just want sanctimony
Whether you be thick or bony
Meet me in the sanctuary
This is my testimony
I just want sanctimony
Whether you be thick or bony

[Outro]
It’s been a hard hard been a hard hard
(It's been a hard yea yea yea yea)
Couple lifetimes I been fighting in the junkyard
It’s been a hard hard been a hard hard
(It's been a hard yea yea yea yea)
Young girl ain’t had shit in the school yard
It’s been a hard hard been a hard hard
(It's been hard yea yea yea yea)
If it wasn’t God I’d be down in the graveyard
It’s been a hard life aye
(It's been a hard yea yea yea yea)
I’m just tryna live yeah
