Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled up on Fairfax
Rent ate my check
Every palm tree smiling
I’m doing my best
Meter’s got teeth
And the heat don’t care
Six lanes crawling
Still nobody there
She text “you out?”
I said “almost home”
But I’m circling blocks
Like I got nowhere to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody posing
Everybody hustling
Everybody late
Everybody buffering
Sun on my face
Stress in my chest
I learned LA
Don’t let you rest
[Chorus]
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Can’t you see?
I’m tryna breathe
In this machine
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Can’t you see?
I keep my cool
But I bleed that stress
LA is hard
Hard on me
[Verse 2]
Late night off Wilshire
Gas tank low
Ten-dollar lemonade
And a parking tow
Studio dreams
With a shutdown phone
Everybody “next up”
Still going home alone
Pool on the roof
But the water’s cold
Faces on a billboard
None of them look broke
Heard “it’s all love”
In a velvet room
Then the landlord called
Like, “I need that soon”
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody shining
Everybody coping
Everybody saying
They’re one door opening
I know the trick
I know the game
But every small win
Costs me the same
[Chorus]
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Can’t you see?
I’m tryna breathe
In this machine
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Can’t you see?
I keep my cool
But I bleed that stress
LA is hard
Hard on me
[Bridge]
Take me where the hours slow
Where the freeways don’t follow me home
I got love in the valley
But the weight still shows
I can fake a smile
Then the whole thing folds
[Chorus]
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Can’t you see?
I’m tryna breathe
In this machine
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Hard on me
LA is hard
Can’t you see?
I keep my cool
But I bleed that stress
LA is hard
Hard on me
