Hard Enough

[Verse 1]

I wake up with the weight of the world on my chest

Bills on the table, dreams half-dressed

The mirror don’t lie, but it don’t always bless

Still I rise, still I try, still I give it my best

[Pre-Chorus]

But I’ve learned the quiet truth in the noise and the clutter

Life is already hard—don’t surround it with people who make it harder

[Chorus]

So I’m walking away from the cold and the cruel

From the ones who play games, from the ones who bend rules

I’ve got scars of my own, I don’t need yours too

If love don’t lift, then it’s not love—it’s a bruise

I’m not bitter, just smarter

Life is already hard—don’t surround it with people who make it harder

[Verse 2]

I’ve danced with the doubters, I’ve dined with the thieves

Let ‘em sip from my cup while they laughed at my grief

But grace taught me better, and silence taught me peace

Now I guard my joy like a lion guards its feast

[Pre-Chorus]

I won’t trade my light for a seat at your table

I’ve got roots in the storm, I’ve grown strong, I’ve grown stable

[Chorus]

So I’m walking away from the cold and the cruel

From the ones who play games, from the ones who bend rules

I’ve got scars of my own, I don’t need yours too

If love don’t lift, then it’s not love—it’s a bruise

I’m not bitter, just smarter

Life is already hard—don’t surround it with people who make it harder

[Bridge]

Let the kind ones come, let the true ones stay

Let the rest fall off like the night from the day

I’m not here to please, I’m here to be free

To build a life that feels like me

[Final Chorus]

So I’m walking in light, even when it’s dim

With a heart that forgives but won’t fold on a whim

I’ve got battles to fight, but I choose who’s within

If you don’t bring peace, you don’t get in

I’m not colder, just sharper

Life is already hard—don’t surround it with people who make it harder

[Outro]

No, I won’t surround it with people who make it harder

I’ve got enough weight to carry, I don’t need yours, brother
