Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Started with a cracked front step
Mama held the rent in her breath
Fridge hum loud, lights cut low
I learned quick what broke don't show
Used hand-me-downs and a hard stare
Pockets thin, but I stayed there
Every bill felt like a threat
Every yes came with regret
I wore my pain like a stitched-up seam
Ran with the weight of a busted dream
Still I moved, still I made my pace
Kept my name in a hard place
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gon' carry me
When the floor keeps shaking under me
I was built on pressure, steel and pain
If I fall, I rise again
[Chorus]
Hard life, still I stand
Hard life, blood on my hands
Hard life, I don't fold
Hard life, heart of gold
(heart of gold)
Hard life, still I stand
Hard life, made me man
Hard life, can't break me
Hard life, you can't shake me
[Verse 2]
Seventh floor, no elevator grace
Shoebox cash and a tired face
Mama said, "Boy, keep your chin up"
I said, "I know, but the scars don't split up"
Been through nights with a buzzing phone
Bad news ringing in the bones
Friends switched lanes, I stayed on line
Took my hits, then I got in mine
Now the same hands that used to shake
Build something solid out of mistakes
I don't need luck, I need room
Need one small spark, then I bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who gon' carry me
When the floor keeps shaking under me
I was built on pressure, steel and pain
If I fall, I rise again
[Chorus]
Hard life, still I stand
Hard life, blood on my hands
Hard life, I don't fold
Hard life, heart of gold
(heart of gold)
Hard life, still I stand
Hard life, made me man
Hard life, can't break me
Hard life, you can't shake me
[Bridge]
I seen the bottom, I seen the crack
I wore the worry on my back
But every loss turned into proof
That pain can sharpen what I do
[Chorus]
Hard life, still I stand
Hard life, blood on my hands
Hard life, I don't fold
Hard life, heart of gold
(heart of gold)
Hard life, still I stand
Hard life, made me man
Hard life, can't break me
Hard life, you can't shake me
