lyrics

"Hard Times"

(Chorus)
Having hard times in this crazy town (Real life! Real Life!)
Having hard times in this crazy town (Real life! Real Life!)
Having hard times in this crazy town (Real life!)

(Verse 1)
Aye, this a million dollar flow right here
The type that gets a mothafucka known 'round here
Or that gets ya fuckin' chest blown down here
'Cause when life get tought ya on ya own down here
In these hard times young niggas wildin' doin all crimes
OGs send 'em 'cause they'll get small time
But this my home court dawg and the balls mine
And I refuse to back down when it's game time
It's time to turn up word up you heard, bruh
When the goin' get tough the tough step they work up
Jackas see hustlers and they wanna hurt us
So we keep the burner so they can't merk us

(Chorus)
Having hard times in this crazy town (Real life! Real Life!)
Having hard times in this crazy town (Real life! Real Life!)
Having hard times in this crazy town (Real life!)

(Verse 2)
I'm on a million dollar mission, hoe
Tryna make money long as twenty fishing poles
Ain't tryna chat with the custos give and go
Don't come to the crib meet you at the Cit-Go
It's a recession said that since 2004
Ain't no excuses now I gotta get it, bro
Put my money where my mouth is gun where my house is
Love where my spouse is and dick in my trousers
Cashed out on my ounces fuck that
Frontin' shit havin' debt is for dumb cats
To flip a O used to take me a month flat
Now they sell faster than I can come back

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
I got a million mind two million dollar grind
Put that together need three mill to sign
Everyone around goin' through them hard times
And I'm no different so I write hard lyrics
A hustlers spirit see it in my appearance
Can't see it then hear it it'll come out clearest
The poor getting' poor the middle disappearing'
The rich getting' rich and the crowd keeps cheering'
It's time to pick a side choose how you're gonna die
With lint in your pocket or in a fly ride
You know what's on my mind shouldn't have to say why
Explaining is a luxury in these hard times

(Chorus)

(Verse 4)
Aye, this a million dollar flow right here
The type that gets a mothafucka known 'round here
Or that gets ya fuckin' chest blown down here
'Cause when life get tought ya on ya own down here
In these hard times young niggas getting' green by any means
Seeing anyone with blue eyes as the enemy
The hustler gets a hunnid percent of your energy
In these hard times, man, you hardly catching any Zs
'Cause when you sleep you snooze on the cash
Yeah, it came fast but it's gone in a dash
You gotta grind everyday like it'll be ya last
It will be eventually 'cause hard times pass

(Chorus)
