Lyrics:

its true I’ve been going through it, but I’m doing what I can
i know They said that I shouldn’t do it, so I did that shit again,
ya I was down for a minute but then, I remembered who I am, 
That was me way back when, now Im still sticking to my plan..

To spread peace love and honesty,
Trying to keep up out of poverty,
just trying to stay positive,
Its hard.

To look deep within the core of me,
when people ask me for more of me,
and muster up the strength inside my soul, 
its hard

To love the people that are close to you
to forgive those thats done the worst to you,
To learn to trust after youve been hurt,
its hard,

finding the beauty in simplicity,
less talk more listening, 
to live for the moment 
not for the history,
Its hard.

its true I’ve been going through it, but I’m doing what I can
i know They said that I shouldn’t do it, so I did that shit again,
ya I was down for a minute but then, I remembered who I am, 
That was me way back when, now Im still sticking to my plan..

to see the beauty in the way that u treat me,
to keep me from letting sex appeal always deceive me,
to find more relationships with meaning,
Its hard.

To stay true for those that always stayed down,
To send money when your homies locked down,
i know you haven’t in a while,
write a letter, make 'em smile..
Its hard.

To stay away from friends that only come around with their hands out
To stay from chicks who only take pics with their titties and their ass out,

to stay away from kids who say they're next to make it big
but nothing's mapped out..
Its hard.

To wake up with a purpose,
to feel I’m more than worthless,
To work like its worth it,
Its hard.

its true I’ve been going through it, but I’m doing what I can
i know They said that I shouldn’t do it, so I did that shit again,
ya I was down for a minute but then, I remembered who I am, 
That was me way back when, now Im still sticking to my plan..
