Tales from the Hard Side

Tales from the hard side

Hard side!

Your cards were dealt when you drove through the night

As a man in dark clothes came into your sight

The barrel tapped the glass, you reached the window lock

"Get the fuck out the car and leave it in the crosswalk"

He climbed into your seat and dropped a vial of crack

Pissing down your leg, you're a victim of carjack

Feel the cold steel as I pull the hammer back

Bang! You're fucking dead 'cause it's like that

Society—pushed him down and out

Soul provider—what's it all about?

Another bad hand, the cards have been dealt

Kid of fourteen, high aspirations held

To get ahead and run shit with his powerful will

Told by his role model, "You're old enough to kill"

"See my ride, my bitches and my loot"

"If ya wanna survive be prepared to shoot"

"Stay hard like me, you're bound to do well"

A waste of precious life, twenty five with an L

Society—pushed him down and out

Soul provider—what's it all about?

Religion, faith—can we do without?

Social pressures—we're too strung out

"Motherfucker!"

"I'll put a bullet in your head for the color of your skin"

"This is my neighborhood, who the fuck let you in?"

"I'll stick with mine, stay with your own kind"

The virus of hate infects the ignorant mind

Society—pushed him down and out

Soul provider—what's it all about?

Religion, faith—can we do without?

Social pressures—we're too strung out
