| I’m tryin to make it through these hard times
|
| I’m tryin to make it through these hard times (hard, times)
|
| I’m tryin to make it through these hard times
|
| I’m tryin to make it through these hard times (hard, times)
|
| I’m tryin to make it through these hard times
|
| I’m tryin to make it through these hard times (hard, times)
|
| Hard times (hard), hard times (hard)
|
| You never know how much you miss a person, until they gone
|
| Like to hear it? |
| Hear it go, I’m rehearsing, gotta sing my song
|
| I know I’ve done some wrong, but I can’t get right
|
| Cause life is like a big fight
|
| I’m stickin-and-movin, tryin to get my shit right
|
| My family’s been houndin me, friends they done turned against me
|
| Kinda like they hearts was on a full tank, but now they empty
|
| And they say I’ve changed, but like twins I’m just the same
|
| It’s because of my job, mo' money mo' prob in this dirty game
|
| This industry FUCKED UP
|
| That’s right I said it, and it’s fake as ever
|
| Keep real niggas around me, stay Space Age 4 Eva
|
| Po-ppa never went and jumped the broom, never got that one degree
|
| But if you looked down from heaven, you’d still be proud of me
|
| Your son was DUI, but my momma made it by
|
| I didn’t shed no tears when you left me
|
| But the rest of the family cried
|
| Trials and tribulations, ruined my concentration
|
| Losin my patience, hard times for goodness sake’n
|
| As this Valium slowly starts to kick in
|
| Them subconcious, subliminal thoughts, start tickin
|
| This whole world around me, diseased, and crumblin
|
| Babies doin dope cause daddy did it right in front of them
|
| Everybody wanna blame music for they bad kids
|
| Sittin up in the court talkin 'bout Eminem made me do what I did
|
| My own hard times rolled in like the fog
|
| Try to think of others, but I can’t get past my own thoughts
|
| My momma, in 1967, pickin cotton
|
| While other blacks was gettin liberated, boycottin
|
| My old man was a player, ain’t no hidin that
|
| He started tootin then he graduated to smokin crack
|
| I never saw him, never needed to see that muh’fucker
|
| He left me and my mother stuck down here in this fuckin gutter
|
| I tattoed it on my arm so I can’t forget it
|
| It’s in my mind and my heart so I’m forever with it
|
| A drum machine, the old fo'-track, and a pack of new tapes
|
| In the middle of, 1988, in a corner cafe
|
| We made beats, and hung with old heads, and stayed out late at night
|
| Do talent shows, fo'-way split the dough, that was our way of life
|
| My momma stayed, home full time so she could raise me
|
| Knowin without a, household father, things could get crazy
|
| Sometimes I listened, sometimes I thought I knew it all
|
| But nevertheless, momma was with me through it all
|
| I graduated out of nothin, not out of school, it was like
|
| 12, 13, 14 years I’m thinkin cool
|
| I might as well, be focusin on me tryin to get paid
|
| Usin these rhymes I’ve been writin since in the 7th grade
|
| Our team played, and had physical sex with minimum wage
|
| It was just like a piece of pussy
|
| It fucked me long as I stayed
|
| But still I prayed, Lord I’m tryin now please help me out the water
|
| It can’t get no harder
|
| Help me to get back up and get my shit tomorrow |
