It's hard for us to realize
The hurtin' that lies deep inside
The pain every day yeah
Livin life from day to day
Have to play the struggling
Game gotta find a road when
There's nowhere to go
Have nothing is getting old
Aat buy ya never get full
Go back and hide the tears they cry

Say this is the painful song for the road
I'mma tell you what my father done told me
A long time ago
When I was in the cold
If it doesn't kill you it's gonna help you grow

A baby you can't push aside
No matter got to keep em alive
Gotta keep on going try not to show it
Everyday becomes a trial
Little things that make you smile
Like his time walking first time talking
Living life unselfishly
It's all about the little baby
It don't matter as long as he's fine

There's Loving and hating
Screaming conversation
Lying and cheating
Poor in every nation
Killing and raping
Drugging overdosing
Momma left crying because
Her kids a coke'n
Children grow up being broke
Partake in the game of selling dope
Try to feed the family
Parents making 1k each
It's hard to survive on that
On that
On that
I say it's hard to survive on that

Say this is the painful song for the road
I'mma tell you what my father done told me
A long time ago
When I was in the cold
If it doesn't kill you it's gonna help you grow
