Raye - Hard Out Here

After years and fears and smiling through my tears
All I ask of you, open your ears
'Cause the truth ain't pretty my dear
It's been dark, been hard out here

On my way, figured a way, a way out
My pen is a gun, pen is a gun
I'm finna spray now
He said I was out, said I was done
Look at his face now
Tell them boys
Feeling them boys
Meet at the stake house
I been a mess
So I'm in a dress
And I got my cakes out
Sleeping on her, sleeping on me
I'm your face now

What you know about hustlin'?
As a young girl in the dungeons
What you know about making amends with the devil
It's in your face, you must pretend (uh)
[?]
But I'm an actor, smile at your face
All of the pricks, all of the wankеrs
I had to chill, smoke it away, manage my anger

What you know about systеms?
About drugged drinks
Fucking nearly dying from addiction
You start to wonder why I'm Christian
Without the lord I'd take my life
All the times I'd been a victim

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

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
There is no wrath like a woman's scorn
Now bet you wish

I been too nice, triple the price
Give me the whole bag
These motherfuckers shitting on me
Am I a wag? Never again
Top of the day, top of the day to you
Full of the shit, I'ma say it to you
See I flow when I'm in pain, then I'ma pray for you

What you know about violence?
Now it's time to cut the violins
Can't see you, I'm looking at the inside of my eyelids
Don't ever stop fighting, all in God's timing, timing

And I'm about to have these grown men crying
You wasn't trying, you was sitting on diamonds
You gonna have to see me now, I'm shining
Hyped up, blinding, very fucking frightening
All these lies, now I see it so clear
But 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
(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)
(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)
I bounce back
(Baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce, baby, I bounce back)
