It’s Hard Out Here For A Twenty Something

Have you heard the song, “It’s Hard Out Here For a Pimp?” Watch/Listen to it here for a refresher. Despite some of the vulgarity and the seeming irrelevancy to the twenty something life, there are lessons to be learned here folks! So pay attention, twenty somethings, I’m changing the lyrics a little and calling my version, “It’s Hard Out Here For A Twenty Something.”

You know it’s hard out here for a twenty something.

When you’re trying to get money for the rent.

For the happy hours and shopping sprees spent

Will put your bank account in a dent.

 

You know it’s hard out here for a twenty something.

When you’re trying to get money for the rent.

For the happy hours and shopping sprees spent,

Will have you calling your fam and friends to vent.

 

In my eyes,  I’ve seen and done some crazy things since I graduated,

Sometimes I’m wondering how the heck I’ve made it

But I’ve gotta keep my head up and keep it together,

And smile through the pain, because I won’t be young forever.

 

Seen some people cry,  seen some people lie

Seen some people do what they have to do to get by

But I’m not judging ’cause it’s just a crazy time in your life

And you gotta do what you gotta do to survive.

 

It’s all about perspective when it comes down to it

I’m trying to get paid but that’s not all too it

I’m trying to be someone who makes a difference but it’s hard out here for a twenty something,

So I’m praying to God that all this madness won’t amount to nothing.

 

You know it’s hard out here for a twenty something.

When you’re trying to get money for the rent.

For the happy hours and shopping sprees spent

Will put your bank account in a dent.

 

You know it’s hard out here for a twenty something.

When you’re trying to get money for the rent.

For the happy hours and shopping sprees spent,

Will have you calling your fam and friends to vent.

 

Okay, so as it turns out, I’m not much of a rapper. But the bottom line is – it’s hard out here for a twenty something with an economy that stinks or being far away from familiar faces and navigating your way through an uncertain period of your life. So if you’re trying to make the most of the craziness that we all go through (and believe it, all of us go through it), good for you! If you’re learning some life lessons along the way, even better. And if you’re living for the moment with a zest for life and all that life has to offer in the present and for your future, I’d say that’s best.

It’s hard out here for a twenty something, so keep your head up twenty somethings; keep your head up.
