[B-Real]   I remember times I hustle, times I struggle   Times I had to get over the everyday shuffle   People tryin' to muffle my thoughts and all my dreams too   People who I thought were down, and see true   But I blame me too 'cos it's a Chronicle    My life, I realise I'm responsible for obstacles    In front of me, my own self to blame   But I worked hard to receive the wealth and fame    It's a worthless game, but if you're willing to play   There's sharks in the water who are, willing to pay    The price of your soul, but if you give it away   You silly motherfuckers are all commited to stay    It's a cold world, but you still want a part of it   So then you'd better fuck around and learn the art of it   Don't walk through life with your blinders on   'Cos you'll keep goin' crazy 'til your mind is gone      [Chorus : B-Real (repeat 2x)]      It Ain't Easy,   but you got people tryin', to put you down, believe me   I keep gainin' ground, It Ain't Easy   How many times, must you decieve me?      [Sen Dog]   I been around for many days, of musical mainstays   Cypress, is Worldwide and we like it that way   You can't fade-ER, or compare TO   The Original Pyscho-Baiter    Got the next rhyme and we'll check you all later    Can't nobody fuck with them Cypress Hill Raiders   Heard it all before and I don't need no more    Advice on the game and how to kick hardcore   Played the game out here with the best   Toured around the world and got big respect    Now, what's (?) all with this year 2000's?    We puttin the Smackdown and we ain't clownin'   Not many have lasted   Since we first blasted   Up on the scene, singin' about the dream   Recruitin' for our team, niggas know what I mean   ?Damn?, you defy, when you live or die      [Chorus (repeat 2x)]      [B Real]   Times I hated, times I waited   Times I went by where I was drunk and faded   They said I wouldn't make it, but where are those people now?   Still hatin', creatin' all the evil now   Your insecurties are showin', exposin' you    You're trippin' on me and showin' emotions too   Don't you spend your life full of envy, it's deadly   Heed me, as I spit the venom believe me      [Sen Dog]   I keep my guard up, and always let you see my rage   I get pissed, like a pitbull in a cage [barking]   Not that many can deal with the fury   Attack and ransack and kill in a hurry   I kill and observe and go in an instant   I bring the pain like the ?Rampark? Prison    I kept it right for the brother to the ?Chullo?   Something I bump when your gates in the (?)      [Chorus: B-Real]      It Ain't Easy,   but you got people tryin', to put you down, believe me   I keep gainin' ground, It Ain't Easy   How many times, must you decieve me?   It Ain't Easy,   but you got people tryin', to put you down, believe me   I keep gainin' ground, It Ain't Easy   It Ain't Easy, yo, It Ain't Easy
