The Hard Part of It

life is hard when you have no friends and no money
it's even tougher when all you can do in your life is run
i got no other confidant than my talent
so much stress in the times i spent
in this world where many come and go
in oblivion they ridiculed what they saw
and believed not that i would make it
they never shared my pain,that's the hard part of it
