[Eve]
This song is a dedication to those strugglin and livin on
For those who can't see the light, it's comin
Stay strong, feel me.. {*echoes*}

[Teena Marie]
Ooohhhh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, oooohhhhhhh, oohhhohhhhh..

[Chorus: Teena Marie]
Livin life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to send me light so I can touch my soul
And always know right from wrong
Livin life is so hard
Every day I pray to God
Tell Him to touch my heart so He can ease the pain
Anything to hide the scars

[Eve]
Uhh, uhh
Thank you God, I appreciate every blessin
Happiness to heartaches, take it as a lesson
I learned a lot in this year
Got a profession that keeps me stressin
Facin criticism, answerin questions
And you still keep me happy and healthy
Blessed with a mind to play the cards that life has dealt me
No doubt I struggle, I cry at times
Sometimes I wish I could live in a bubble
And it gets hard not to stray to trouble
I'm proud of me, got a family that holds me down
Real friends 'cause the other ones claim they don't know me now
But long as God with me, I'ma be good for sure
He's the one who picks me up when my face is to the floor
Life is crazy, people never cease to amaze me
Stay with stories by how they made me or raised me
And it's funny, 'cause everybody seems to be so hungry
Either they want my life, or they want my money

[Chorus]

[Teena Marie]
How can life be so hard?
       How can my life be so hard?
Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong
       Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong
Every day I pray to God
       Every day I pray
Whatever doesn't kill me makes me strong
       Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Eve]
Uhh, been through a lot
Still gotta watch my back 'cause people plot
Close is to do you dirty just so they can take your spot
Some days I feel like I wanna quit
But I pray too long and dreamed and worked too hard for it
Wouldn't trade my life, none even a little bit
Cause it could be worse for real, I could be turnin tricks
Might bitch and whine but always just in the back of my mind
I could be livin on the streets, nothin to eat without a dime
So I thank God, and I think why 'cause life's hard
Meet a lot of people but always I'm puttin up my guard
Cause you never know, some people snakes
Some people give a lot but mostly not, most people take
A lot of smilin claimin realness but most people fake
Still gotta smile, 'cause that's what it takes
Sometimes it's lonely
I feel like people see me really don't know me
But my best friend is Him, and I know He'll hold me

[Chorus]

[Eve]
Uhh, uhh
I got a lotta people on my side protectin me
Dee, Waah, Chivon, and the family
Gotta thank God for them 'cause they keep me right
I also thank Him every day for the love of my life
I thank Him, for this gift just to be able to write
and rock crowds that scream my name, able to excite
Thank God for my fans; I love the way they love me
Happy that I'm comfortable, eatin, livin lovely
I love my life, still there's the pressure and pain
So I make sure that I'm grounded and able to maintain
Alotta people think I'm lucky, travelin and hangin out
But if they only knew, I +WISH+ I could be hangin out
I'm bangin out hits, in the studio I'm livin low
Makin plans to last a lifetime, make sure I'm gettin dough
Huh, come on, just so the people know
Uhh, come on, just so the people know

[Chorus] - 2X

[Eve] 
Uh, uh, uh, huh 
Yo, yo 
Drop your glasses, shake your asses 
Face screwed up like you having hot flashes 
Which one, pick one, this one, classic 
Red from blonde, yeah bitch I'm drastic 
Why this, why that, lips stop askin 
Listen to me baby, relax and start passin 
Expressway, hair back, weavin through the traffic 
This one strong should be labeled as a hazard 
Some of y'all niggas hot, sike I'm gassin 
Clowns I spot em and I can't stop laughin 
Easy come, easy go, E-V gon' be lastin 
Jealousy, let it go, results could be tragic 
Some of y'all aint writin well, too concerned with fashion 
None of you aint gizell, cat walk and imagine 
A lot of y'all Hollywood, drama, casted 
Cut bitch, camera off, real shit, blast it 

[CHORUS: Gwen Stefani] 
I knew I had to give you more, it's only been a year 
Now I got my foot through the door, and I ain't goin nowhere 
It took a while to get me in, and I'm gonna take my time 
Don't fight that good shit in your ear, now let me blow ya mind 

[Eve] 
They wanna bank up, crank up, makes me dizzy(?) 
Shank up, haters wanna come after me 
You aint a gangster, prankster, too much to eat 
Snakes in my path wanna smile up at me 

Now while you grittin your teeth 
Frustration baby you got to breathe 
Take alot more that you to get rid of me 
You see I do what they can't do, I just do me 
Aint no stress when it comes to stage, get what you see 
Meet me in the lab, pen and pad, don't believe 
Huh, sixteens mine, create my own lines 
Love for my wordplay that's hard to find 
Sophomore, I aint scared, one of a kind 
All I do is contemplate ways to make your fans mine 
Eyes bloodshot, stressin, chills up your spine 
Huh, sick to your stomach wishin I wrote your lines 

CHORUS 

[Eve] 
Let your bones crack 
Your back pop, I can't stop 
Excitement, glock shots from your stash box 
Fuck it, thugged out, I respect the cash route 
Locked down, blastin, sets while I mash out 
Yeah nigga, mash out, D-R-E 
Back track, think back, E-V-E 
Do you like that (ooooh), you got to I know you 
Had you in a trance first glance from the floor too 
Don't believe I'll show you, take you with me 
Turn you on, pension gone, give you relief 
Put your trust in a bomb when you listen to me 
Damn she much thinner know now I'm complete 
Still stallion, brick house, pile it on 
Ryde or Die, bitch, double R, can't crawl 
Beware, cuz I crush anything I land on 
Me here, aint no mistake nigga it was planned on 

Uh, uh
Yo, yo, yo
They wanna know

Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Can I turn you on by my word's spell?
Look into my eyes think I want you, can't tell 
Me I keep it sexy, daddy so I can't fail 
Keep it gangsta for the cowards so I give 'em hell 
Call me misfit, lips spit a gang of trash 
Wrist glist now cause I make a gang of cash 
Light glance, still street with the do-rag 
Slang, spit game, change speech, how they do that?
Watch they mouths drop, watch the crowds pop up and act out
Broads with the screw face, smash on and knock out
Ain't changed game game around me, I run the game 
If I gotta keep it gritty so be it, I'm supposed to change 
Like simple, dizzy broads ain't messin' with my mental
Natural born hustlin' bitch check what I've been through 
Got mine took it from you, and now you slot mine
Exec to my own shit, dawg I ownin' dot coms'

Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Yo, yo I can understand why you're scared of Eve 
Thought I did it one way, ain't prepared for me 
Huh, mad cause an image I don't care to be 
Realness, real shit, spit reality 
Attitude rude, that's the Philly in I 
Need me in the game, I'm the thrill in your life 
Breath of fresh air
Little boys hang me on their wall, I grow 'em chest hair 
Why you listenin to other shit?
You go the best here
Come on try your luck shorty, I got the rest scared
Bet you anything you aint ready and you get left there 
Ain't known for frontin' vouch for my behavior, 
Same way they get down I get down for this paper 
Sixteen lean from my pence so you can test her
Still need to know who I am then cop the record 
Take it like a class on me and learn the lesson
Bottom line my world, my way any questions 

Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Uh, yo power moves is made everyday by this thorough bitch 
I'mma get this bank anyway that I do this shit 
I was born to shine while most of y'all was borderline bullshit
Know exactly what I want from me, you cats is clueless, 
Dispose the flow through my hands like water 
Heat starts growing from my son or my daughter 
Eve want her own cash, fuck what you bought her 
He spend, you owe, that's what mommy taught her 
All ball is played, won't starve today 
Song after song I write so I get paid 
Thought I wasn't followin' up with the second round
Now bitch swallow it up while I shut it down 
Make em love me over again and over your name 
Betcha they get over your style and over your fame 
Why you lookin sad at me, I ain't the blame
Back to plan B baby I can feel your pain 

Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Who's that girl?
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Eve's that girl
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

You, me, and she
What we gonna do, baby
Baby

Yo, shit I did it to myself
Couldn't help the way I felt about him
Sick when he wasn't there
Like I never dealt without him
Played the fool by choice
All I had was this man
Let him have the best of both worlds 
cause it was his plan
All the things I wanted to hear he told me gently
Whatever it was wanted nothing gave me plenty
Told me that he split with this chick
But couldn't shake her
Cause she had his kids so he fed her with his paper
First it started off
Doe for closure
Started slackin' off
In fact it wasn't over
Now, my world is crumblin' down
I'm feeling shaky
Used to being Superwoman
No bitch could replace me
Wanted him to leave me alone
But I was caught up
Thought I was strong
Broke down when breaking up was brought up
Tried to really with this dude
I thought I loved him
And everytime I asked, "What I should do?"
He said trust him

You, me, and she
What we gonna do, baby
(Trust me)
Baby
(Hold me)

You, me, and she 
What we gonna do, baby
(Believe me)
Baby
(You need me)

Damn, I must be crazy
Feedin' in this bullshit
Attitudes and trying to hold out
That shit was useless
The more I tried to back up
The more he kept coming
Lie after lie
Yeah, lying wasn't nothing
Tear after tear come down
Tellin' me be cool
"All I need is you, baby nobody can be you."
Believed him, he deceived me just to keep me
Callin' me from her spot
Sayin' how he need me
I had to step back
He got me stressed out
This ain't what I planned
Thought I had my life sketched out
Huh, I guess not
Love me or hurt me (Hurt me)
Hurt me to make up then make up to desert me

You, me, and she
What we gonna do, baby
(Trust me)
Baby
(Hold me)

You, me, and she 
What we gonna do, baby
(Believe me)
Baby
Uh Yo
(You need me)

Back and forth with the he said
He said got me dizzy
If I leave, know the routine
He beg cause he miss me
Too late cause you had me, lost me
Daddy move on
Boss bitch no more
Floss me nigga I'm gone
Arguments for hours
Me and her comparing notes
And after all the screamin' stop
We comparing quotes
You got sloppy
Thought you was that nigga
Let me catch you
Heart didn't hurt 'til I covered up your tattoo
My statute on a pedalstool every breath, too
Never knew the worst 'til you felt what the best do
And I'm that
It's over now
Hope I stressed you
But niggas only do what we allow
And I let you

You, me, and she
What we gonna do, baby
(Trust me)
Baby
(Hold me)

You, me, and she 
What we gonna do, baby
(Believe me)
Baby
(You need me)
