Lyrics
[Intro]
It wasn't easy
But nothing's easy
[Verse 1]
Total 90s, make my way to school, got suspended but I played it cool
Geezers playing pool, I got the fake ID out, bar lady ask me for my date OB
Way before I ever popped a bean, I had Heinz beans, toast on my plate
BMX ride on Wood street late, dodging fiends putting H in veins
All the little things never meant much to me, all I'd do, hang around dealers corrupting me
Shotters, tax dodgers, been ignoring my problems too long
I always wake up on a hangover, leave the house, pull my hat over
Christmas but I never had a dad over
Never needed much
Nothing's easy, but it never was
[PreChorus]
It wasn't easy
But nothing's easy
[Chorus]
It wasn't easy, never was
It could've tore me right apart
It wasn't easy, never was
So take it, take it, take all I've got
[Verse 2]
I got more money than I've ever had but I can't help my sisters with the problems they have
I got fans and I smile for the pics but I'm sad, it was better in the bucket with the crabs
Mum saw me in the newspaper, I got a show but I wanna see you later, can I crash?
I just miss my bed, Brookfield ave., sometimes I wanna go back
My nan about to be 74, I think about it all the time when I'm sitting on the bus on tour
Clench cig with a lock jaw
Plagued by everything I wanted for, all of my regrets dragging on the floor
Everything paid for, moping around in the gaff, swear I should've been grateful
Now I need too much
Nothings easy, but it never was
[PreChorus]
It wasn't easy
But nothing's easy
[Chorus]
It wasn't easy, never was
It could've tore me right apart
It wasn't easy, never was
So take it, take it, take all I've got
[Chorus]
It wasn't easy, never was
It could've tore me right apart
It wasn't easy, never was
So take it, take it, take all I've got
[Outro]
It wasn't easy, never was
It could've tore me right apart
It wasn't easy, never was
Take it, take it, take all I've got
