Rock And A Hard Place - Ludacris

Rock And A Hard Place - Ludacris
Hell yeah
It's an everyday struggle
Tryin' to get out
Tryin' to get out
Tryin' to make it
Check this out n**ga what
I'm stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
I'm stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
I need to get away to another day or place and time
And find where reality can ease my mind
And shine on me like the sun to the Earth
For what it's worth my turf is rough
And rugged so I gave birth
To a dream where cream lies between
All the dirt and the gravel so I battle
To achieve my green
And still try to move forward at a steady pace
'Cause bad luck is interferin' with my paper chase
So I erase the crime lies and sad cries
With sore eyes and keep mine's on an uprise
But it don't work 'cause I'm steady gettin' jerked
By my neighborhood up to no good where bad n**gas lurk
They urk me leavin' effects that's too negative
So Ludacris is lookin' for a better place to live
And I can't stand it it's really got me buggin'
It's like I'm in a war and I just keep on tuggin'
'Cause I'm
Stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
I'm stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
I try to find a way outta this maze
It's got me crazed
I'm in a daze so many ways
To boost into a different phase
But I can't thank I can't do nothin'
You think I'm frontin'
You hear me gruntin' Lord you ain't even sayin' nothin'
I need some currency before there's an emergency
Forget crimes I won't let my mind get the best of me
It's not gon' happen I'm trapped in two worlds
On one side I see diamonds on the other I see pearls
It's a whirlwind disaster with two d**n sides
So I'm gone with the wind
Then come right back with the tide
I keep my eyes on the skies
And my head in the clouds
And when my mouth is shut up
It makes my thoughts get loud
Just like a crowd in a stadium bills I be cravin' 'em
Money makin' schemes locked up in my cranium
'Cause I need outta this critical situation
My mind's in jail I don't know the time that it's facin'
'Cause I'm stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
I'm stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
I'm sick of knockin' I'm sick of clockin'
I'm sick of droppin' in a hole never reachin' my goal
It's got my soul separated into pieces it just increases
I'm hit with anger like a cook is hit with hot greases
So if you understood my attitude
Maybe you'd feel what I'm feelin'
And it'd start appealin'
To ya intellect and aspect of dreams and aspirations
Deaf by temptations even got my hart pacin'
So I'm tracin' a line where I can find a better path
And make it last sit back and laugh before the aftermath
The tragic flaw is what makes it raw
So let it thaw and I'll get through it
Even if I have to crawl
My way I see the sun and there's no delay
I'ma pray 'cause the Lord'll make a brighter day
Or will he keep me in this holding cell
But enough with the questions the only story
To tell is that I'm stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
I'm stuck
In between a rock and a hard place
Bad luck is what results from my paper chase
I keep lookin' but it ain't no doors
So I don't wanna look no mo' what
