The Hard Life Lyrics

yo, [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e1321-skittles~the_hard_life_lyrics.html ]
he's got troubles that he cant handle alone
some are within but most come from the home
yea he's made some mistakes that he cant change
such a good kid gone bad people think it's strange
You can find him in many different places
and at each place he wears different faces
He never acts quite the same
he changes constintally like a movin flame
He wears a lot of things but mostly a necklace and a jersey
and it dont matter how bad he's hurtin he never ask for mercy
People think he's invincible and he has no feeling
but you should see his heart and the tension it's building
you can cut him and he'll just stand there
but just because it dont hurt dont mean he dont care
He's careful but he wont attack you from behind
he can be terrifying but one on one he's kind
you got to get to know him to understand
and believe me once you do you'll think he's grand
He's done things people dont even know
his friends try to help him but he runs his own show
people try to help but he's a hard case
he's lonely but he needs his own space
he always wanted to make somethin of his life
but now instead he's fighting people with a knife
he's putting his life on the line just to be cool
little does he know he's actin the fool
he's got doe in his pockets and he had to work to get it
He holds it tight he hardly ever spends it
This kid aint ya average everyday mamas boy
This kid aint ya average everday country boy
This kid is worth more than he knows
He's got a lot of feelins but some he never shows
He's just a kid that wasn't raised right
the first turned out good thought the secound would be alright
See he never started off bad till his fith year of school
his parents didn't even relize it till he was in high school
They caught him smokin and hangin with the wrong crowd
He's lookin for a way to change but he aint figured one out
See he's already made himself quite a rep
He keeps it to protect
wonder what it'll say on his first pay check
wonder if he'll join to serve and to protect
Wonder what's to become of him
wonder how he'll turn out in the end
This boy needs help from above
but he wouldn't believe it if God apeared as a dove
This boy needs help so lend him a hand
Lets build him up on a rock dont let him sink in sand
He raps and acts like a wiger
you should see him he's quite the figure
He walks around with his pants low
runs his life like it's his own show
He judges everyone before he even meets them
the way they talk to him justifys how he treats them
You can be his friend or his enemy
if you's a enemy I'd stay outa his phacenity
He wouldn't kill no body but he's crazy
but if he did it probably wouldn't phase me
he's got a puzzle with pieces that dont fit
so crazy he's about to join a gang called crypt
But they might change they names to TC
guess who made it up, me
it stands for the thung club
they cool they aint gotta dress up
but they all gona wear white hats that say TC
You wanna join you gotta go through B
they watch each others backs
that way they can all relax
there always together neve alone
they even got access if they's at home
See he's crazy and he needs someone to guide him
he's wild and unwise look at his bling bling shinin
He waste all his money on elegal things
and his mama dont aprove of the things he brings
She dont like his music
she dont like him to choose if
cause it's always rock or rap
this or that
then she wants him to like country
but he thinks it's sound to funky
then she wnats him to like contemperary christian
but then look at all the fun he'd be missin
See I agree with his mama but theres nothin I can do
He wont let me help him through what he's goin though
In this situation he's all alone
I try to call him but he wont pick up the phone
