It's so Hard - C-Murder

I have a dream

(There's no easy walk to freedom)

That one day, this nation will rise up

And live out the true meaning of its creed

We hold these truths to be self-evident

That all men are created equal

(Chorus, Jahbo & C-Murder)

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be your brother nowadays

To be your brother nowadays oh (Come on man, come on)

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be C-Murder nowadays (It's my testimony man)

Na na na na na na na na na (Still I rise)

Verse One:

It’s the never ending story

I’m Corey this is my story

And I’m trapped in crime

They kidnap me because my glory

Keep laughing this ain’t funny

The main basis is money

We integrated but still hated

Better days is coming

Politically I’m in prison incarcerated prevision

Now who’s decision was it to eliminate my position

The opposition is

I’m allergic to submission

They legal strategy see I was taught in catechism

We lost our last mission now it’s time for violation to cease

In genesis yeah we walking for peace

I hear you talking through me

Cause' my protection is heaven

I’m only telling you never to divide just make it better

Whatever they know I’m not guilty

The crooked cops dealt me

A bad call, we pray and fear is hard

I’m taking

Exposing my constitution to police

Now whoever can see, it never was me

(Chorus, Jahbo & C-Murder)

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be your brother nowadays

To be your brother nowadays, oh

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be C-Murder nowadays (Never give up though, there’s always hope,

remember that)

Na na na na na na na na na (Still I rise)

It ain’t no justice if an innocent man is getting busted

I’m in the public eye

They wanna trap me till' I die

I’m rapping, you telling lies

Convict me with closed eyes

I’m tryna' make a change

And you just blinding these guys

Let’s hit rewind and retry

Recalculate our every move

You fabricating clues but I ain’t destined to lose

It’s looking messy the news

Is tryna' give me the blues

But I’m prepared for battle

I walk in great mans shoes

And every step is getting harder

I’m carrying the weight of the world up on my shoulder

It’s so heavy for a soulja

My babies is getting older

I watch em' grow behind the glass

Now that’s the worst thing man they get so big fast

I think it’s just us

Cause' ain’t no justice

Prepare for college cause' the knowledge man you must get

We took a rough hit

But I smell victory

So I embrace my place and make history

(Chorus, Jahbo & C-Murder)

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be your brother nowadays

To be your brother nowadays, oh

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be C-Murder nowadays (I have a dream)

Na na na na na na na na na (Look)

Now only god can judge your decisions to pull the plug

On every thug, I wasn’t thuggin' now you buggin' show me love

I’m touched, my people love me so much

They can’t trust the system

It’s full of brothers they a victim

You know I wish them well

Cause' when dealing with jail he was a hell of a fella' that’s why he never

failed

I will forever tell you the truth

The proof is right in-front of us

It’s hard for everyone of us

Society want none of us

Believe me it’s deceiving

Now what’s the reason they living said so easy

My baby needs me

My family is so sad they shedding tears

My kids be like «We want you home dad»

They so scared

My intelligence is irreverent

Yeah they trying to ruin me

No bail with felonies

Motel they tellin' me

But they hypocritical

Yes it is political

Lord I keep it spiritual

(Chorus, Jahbo & C-Murder)

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be your brother nowadays

To be your brother nowadays, oh

It’s so hard (Mama pray for ya' baby)

To be C-Murder nowadays (I have a dream)

Na na na na na na na na na (x2)
