Rock and a Hard Place Ludacris

[Intro]

It's an everyday struggle
Trying to get out, trying to get out, trying to make it
Check this out nigga, what

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place

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 interfering with my paper chase
So I erase the crime, lies, and sad cries
With sore eyes and keep mines on an up rise
But it don't work cause I'm steady getting jerked
By my neighborhood, up to no good, where bad niggas lurk
They irk me, leaving effects that's too negative
So Ludacris is looking for a better place to live
And I can't stand it, it's really got me bugging
It's like I'm in a war and I just keep on tugging
'Cause I'm
