Hard Times

Hard times spreading just like the flu

Watch out, homeboy, don't let it catch you

P-p-p-prices go up, don't let your pocket go down

When you got short money, you're stuck on the ground

Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the clock

And be on point for the future shock

Hard times

Hard times

Hard times are coming to your town

So stay alert, don't let them get you down

They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard

But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card

Hard times got our pockets all in chains

I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain

All day, I have to work at my peak

Because I need that dollar every day of the week

Hard times

Hard times can take you on a natural trip

So keep your balance and don't you slip

Hard times is nothing new on me

I'm gonna use my strong mentality

Like the cream of the crop, like the crop of the cream

B-b-b-beating hard times, that is my theme

Hard times in life, hard times in death

I'm gonna keep on fighting 'til my very last breath

Hard times

Hard times

Hard times

Hard times

Hard times

Hard times

Hard times
