Hard Out Here

RAYE

6

After years and fears and smiling through my tears

All I ask of you is open your ears

'Cause the truth ain't pretty, my dear

It's been dark, been hard out

Uh

On my way, figured a way, figured a way out

My pen is a gun, pen is a gun, I'm finna spray now

He said I was out, said I was done, look at his face now

Hmm, hmm, uh

Tell them boys, feeling them boys, meet at the steak house

I been a mess, I'm in a dress and I got my cakes out

Sleeping on her, sleeping on me, I'm in your face now

Hmm, no, no, no, no, no

What do you know about hustling?

As a young girl (young girl) in the dungeons (dungeons)

What you know about making amends?

With the devils in your face you must pretend, uh

CR0, I'm from ends but I'm an actor

Smile in your face, all of the pricks, all of the wankers

I had to chill, smoke it away, manage my anger

Ooh, what you know about systems?

About drugged drinks, fucking nearly dying from addictions

You start wonder why I'm Christian

Without the Lord, I'd take my life for all the times I've been a victim

Ooh, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Hmm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

No weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

All the white men CEOs, fuck your privilege

Get your pink chubby hands off my mouth, fuck you think this is?

I told my lawyer stand by (war), there is no wrath like a women scorned

Uh, now I bet you wish

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Devil's a lie, I am the guy, call me the Conrad

I been too nice, triple the price, pay me the whole bag

These motherfuckers cheatin' on me, am I a wag? Never again

Top a the day, top a the day, top a the day to you

This LP's full of the shit I'm gonna say to you, ooh

See how I flow when I'm in pain, I'm gonna pray for you

Then I'm a aim for you, and it's a shame for you, shame for you

Oh yeah

What you know about violence? I'm on smoke now

Babe, I think it's time to cut the violins

Can't see you, I'm looking at the inside of my eyelids

I'll never stop fighting, all in Gods timing

Timing

And I'm about to have these grown men crying

You wasn't trying, you was sitting on diamonds, mmm

You gon' have to see me now, I'm shining, hyped up, blinding

Very fucking frightening, all these lies, now I see it so clear

See for girls like me from the bottom of the tier

Believe that it's always been hard out here

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Hmm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Hmm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper
