  1. After years and fears and smiling through my tears

  2. All I ask of you is open your ears

  3. 'Cause the truth ain't pretty my dear

  4. It's been dark, been hard out (whoo), uh

  5. On my way, figured a way, figured a way out (yah)

  6. My pen is a gun, pen is a gun, I'm finna spray now (yah)

  7. He said I was out, said I was done, look at his face now (yah)

  8. Hm, hm, ah-ah, uh-ah (whoo! Yah)

  1. Tell them boys, feeling them boys, meet at the steakhouse (yah)

  2. I been a mess, I'm in a dress and I got my cakes out (yah)

  3. Sleeping on her, sleeping on me, I'm in your face now (yah)

  4. Hm, oh, no-no-no-no, no, no (yah)

  5. What you know about hustlin'?

  6. As a young girl (young girl) in the dungeons (dungeons)

  7. What you know about making amends (yah)

  8. With the devils in your face? You must pretend, uh-ah (yah)

  9. CR0, I'm from the ends, but I'm a actor (yeah)

  10. Smile in your face all of the pricks, all of the wankers (yah)

  11. I had to chill, smoke it away, manage my anger (yah)

  12. Huh, uh (yeah)

  13. Ooh, what you know about systems? (Yah)

  14. About drugged drinks, fucking nearly dying from addictions (yah)

  15. You start to wonder why I'm Christian

  16. Without the Lord, I'd take my life for all the times I've been a victim

  17. Oh, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper (whoo! Yah)

  18. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

  19. Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back, yah)

  20. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

  21. Hm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper (yah)

  22. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

  23. Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

  24. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back (yah)

  25. No weapon formed against me shall ever

  26. All the white men CEOs, fuck your privilege

  27. Get your pink chubby hands off my mouth, fuck you think this is?

  28. I told my lawyer stand by (war), there is no wrath like a woman scorned

  29. Huh, now I bet you wish (yah)

  30. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back (yah)

  31. Devil's a liar, I am the guy, call me the Conrad (yah)

  32. I been too nice, triple the price, pay me the whole bag (yah)

  33. These motherfuckers cheatin' on me, am I a wag? Never again (yah)

  34. Top of the day, top of the day, top of the day to you (yah)

  35. This LP's full of the shit I'm gonna say to you, ooh (yah)

  36. See how I flow when I'm in pain, I'm gonna pray for you (yah)

  37. Then I'ma aim for you, and it's a shame for you, shame for you (yah)

  38. Oh yeah, what you know about violence? (Yah)

  39. I'm on smoke now, babe, I think it's time to cut the violins

  40. Can't see you, I'm looking at the inside of my eyelids

  41. I'll never stop fighting, all in God's timing

  42. Timing

  43. And I'm about to have these grown men crying

  44. (Crying) hm

  45. You wasn't trying, you was sitting on diamonds

  46. Mm (diamonds)

  47. You gon' have to see me now, I'm shining

  48. Hyped up, blinding, very fucking frightening

  49. All these lies, now I see it so clear

  50. See for girls like me from the bottom of the tier

  51. Believe that it's always been hard out here

  52. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

  53. Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

  54. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

  55. Hm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

  56. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

  57. Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

  58. Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

  59. Hm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Hard Out Here.

After years and fears and smiling through my tears

All I ask of you is open your ears

'Cause the truth ain't pretty my dear

It's been dark, been hard out (whoo), uh

On my way, figured a way, figured a way out (yah)

My pen is a gun, pen is a gun, I'm finna spray now (yah)

He said I was out, said I was done, look at his face now (yah)

Hm, hm, ah-ah, uh-ah (whoo! Yah)

Tell them boys, feeling them boys, meet at the steakhouse (yah)

I been a mess, I'm in a dress and I got my cakes out (yah)

Sleeping on her, sleeping on me, I'm in your face now (yah)

Hm, oh, no-no-no-no, no, no (yah)

What you know about hustlin'?

As a young girl (young girl) in the dungeons (dungeons)

What you know about making amends (yah)

With the devils in your face? You must pretend, uh-ah (yah)

CR0, I'm from the ends, but I'm a actor (yeah)

Smile in your face all of the pricks, all of the wankers (yah)

I had to chill, smoke it away, manage my anger (yah)

Huh, uh (yeah)

Ooh, what you know about systems? (Yah)

About drugged drinks, fucking nearly dying from addictions (yah)

You start to wonder why I'm Christian

Without the Lord, I'd take my life for all the times I've been a victim

Oh, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper (whoo! Yah)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back, yah)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Hm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper (yah)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back (yah)

No weapon formed against me shall ever

All the white men CEOs, fuck your privilege

Get your pink chubby hands off my mouth, fuck you think this is?

I told my lawyer stand by (war), there is no wrath like a woman scorned

Huh, now I bet you wish (yah)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back (yah)

Devil's a liar, I am the guy, call me the Conrad (yah)

I'm on smoke now, babe, I think it's time to cut the violins

Can't see you, I'm looking at the inside of my eyelids

I'll never stop fighting, all in God's timing

Timing

And I'm about to have these grown men crying

(Crying) hm

You wasn't trying, you was sitting on diamonds

Mm (diamonds)

You gon' have to see me now, I'm shining

Hyped up, blinding, very fucking frightening

All these lies, now I see it so clear

See for girls like me from the bottom of the tier

Believe that it's always been hard out here

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Hm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Baby, I bounce back (bounce, bounce, bounce back)

Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back

Hm, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Hard Out Here.
