It Was Hard Being Me

It was hard being me, it was hard being me I had to die in a pit, I had to die and be
a king Went through hell and back and I got the scars
I don't need your validation, I don't need no affirmation
I don't need your validation, oh It was hard being me, it was hard being me

I had to die in a pit, I had to die in a pit Went through hell and back and I got the scars
I don't need your validation, I don't need no affirmation
I don't need no validation, oh It was hard being me, it was hard being me
I had to give my life to the love for peace cause I

I don't know if you will hold me down when I
Find myself up on these lonely nights but
When pain is real I learn these flashing lights and I
Had to give my life to the love for peace cause I

I don't know if you will hold me down when I
Find myself up on these lonely nights but
When pain is real I learn these flashing lights and I
It was hard being me, it was hard being me I had to die in a pit, I had to die and be a king

Went through hell and back and I got the scars I don't need your validation, I don't need no affirmation
I don't need your validation, oh It was hard being me, it was hard being me
I might be the hope for all of the people that's hustling and turning to sleep
Man I might be the hope for niggas like Dio

That's stressing and standing in corners I might be the hope
For all of the people depressed and drowning in their sorrows I might be the hope
Overthinking got me doubting I think I should pray
Thinking I'm thinking a lot Thinking I'm thinking too much

Thinking I'm thinking about God Thinking I'm thinking about church
Thinking I'm thinking about her Thinking I'm thinking about trust
Thinking I'm thinking about cash Thinking I'm thinking about love
Thinking I'm thinking a lot Thinking I'm thinking too much

Thinking I'm thinking about God Thinking I'm thinking about church
Thinking I'm thinking about her Thinking I'm thinking about trust
Thinking I'm thinking about cash Thinking I'm thinking about love
No, I'm not the only one going through the most I'm facing my demons, I know

No, I'm not the only one who problems off Getting money and the riches, I know
No, I'm not the only one who's always stressing Always depressing about bills, I know
No, I'm not the only one who's always tripping Being dependent on others, I know
I had to give my light to the love for peace

Cause I, I don't know if it will hold me down
When I, find myself upon these lonely nights
But, but pain is realer than these flashing lights
Had to give my light to the love for peace

Cause I, I don't know if it will hold me down
When I, find myself upon these lonely nights
But, but pain is realer than these flashing lights
It was hard being me It was hard being me

Had to die in a pit Had to die in a pit
Went through hell and back and I got the scars
I don't need your validation I don't need your validation
I don't need your affirmation

It was hard being me It was hard being me
Had to die in a pit Had to die in a pit
Went through hell and back and I got the scars
I don't need your validation I don't need your validation

I don't need your affirmation
It was hard being me
I had to give my light to the love for peace
Cause I, I don't know if it will hold me down

When I, find myself upon these lonely nights
But, but pain is realer than these flashing lights
And I, had to give my light to the love for peace
Cause I, I don't know if it will hold me down

When I, find myself upon these lonely nights
It's dark, but pain is realer than these flashing lights
And I, it was hard being me It was hard being me
Had to die in a pit Had to die in a pit

Went through hell and back and I got the scars
I don't need your validation I don't need your validation
I don't need your affirmation
It was hard being me

It was hard being me
