This foolish game is easy when it's all that you've got
This foolish little game it's so easy
And it gets pretty hot
Whether you like it or not
Hey I'm tired
Tired of runnin' the hustle
So tired, tired, tired, tired of this struggle
And if there was a better way, well I missed it
But that don't mean I ain't gifted
Here we go deep down again
My shoulders are achin' from what I've been lifting
Here we go deep down again
Now you know brother I'm a not without sin
Come on now
Oh well, that's tough luck son
Out here on the street
Better get yourself together
Cause nothing is free
You know what they say
It's a hard, hard road this way
This foolish game is easy when it's all that you've got
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
