Akon - So Rough Lyrics

[Intro]
(Konvict)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, my dawg, he got me if I'm jammed up
Put the smoke in the air if you play with him
If it's smoke with me, I don't even gotta say it there
See this life living hell, anything fair
Ain't no rules to this shit, growin' old rare
In this fast life, mind on a hunnid player
Like a demon slayer, can not stop a nigga
They tryna block a nigga, black ball and drop a nigga


But I can't go like that, I'd die before I turn wack
I'm eatin' every track, don't care 'bout who listening
I know they listening, tell the haters, listen in
They only hatin' on a nigga 'cause I'm different, man
Wе like the minute mеn

I'm just livin' 'til I'm dyin', so much shit up on mind
I can't stop not anytime, death is hot on my behind
Tell 'em, catch up, he behind, I'm not scared of losing mine
Came alone, I'll leave alone, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be fine

Everything is like a sign
Universe be talking to you, off the drugs, you think you flyin'
You was first to pop shit with me any day for you slidin'
It's amazing that I met you, we won't ever grow apart
I'll be damned if I don't bless you, you was with it since the start
[Pre-Chorus]
All the shit a nigga been through, I don't know where I should start
Writing raps all in the dark, beat my case, I'll beat the odds
Crackers think a nigga odd, she my dawg, she my rod
She my rod

[Chorus]
No, my life ain't easy, I ain't giving up
The ones that I love, I promise, we goin' up
Time I've been down, I know you'll pick me up
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
Oh, hmm, yeah

It was rough for a nigga like me
When you're up, niggas turn shiesty
Be your own blood, leave you on the IV
Seen it all, don't nothin' surprise me

Now I'm at the mall, cop whatever I see
And my neck icy (icy)
Tell 'em, "Yes" they'll never go (go)
People start to disappear when you tell 'em, "No" (no)

I swear this life be crazy complicated
Jealousy, the envy and the hatred
Use the struggle as your motivation
Been through ups and downs but look, I made it (I made it)
Look, I was grindin' (yuh-uh)
From the hood I prayed I'll survive it (oh)
All the mamas crossed, stop the violence (uh)
Homicide, homicide, cops arrivin' (oh-oh)

And it gets hard for real
Every player don't survive the field
Don't crash out when you 'hind the wheel
Don't crash out, read the signs
Take your time and use your mind for real

All my kids make me smile for real
I know y'all know I'm proud for real
Whole world know that I'm proud
Take my crown, shut it down, for real (oh-oh)
Shut it down, for real

[Chorus]
No, my life ain't easy, I ain't giving up
The ones that I love, I promise we goin' up (goin' up)
Time I've been down, I know you'll pick me up
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough, yeah
No, my life ain't easy, I ain't giving up
The ones that I love, I promise we goin' up
Time I've been down, I know you'll pick me up
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough
It's so rough, so rough, so rough, yeah

[Outro]
(It's so easy)
(The night teens, yeah)
