[Chorus]
2
I'm tryin' to make it through these hard times (hard, times)
3
I'm tryin' to make it through these hard times
4
I'm tryin' to make it through these hard times (hard, times)
5
I'm tryin' to make it through these hard times
6
I'm tryin' to make it through these hard times (hard, times)
7
I'm tryin' to make it through these hard times
8
I'm tryin' to make it through these hard times (hard, times)
9
Hard times (hard), hard times (hard)
10
You never know how much you miss a person, until they gone
11
Like to hear it? Hear it go, I'm rehearsing, gotta sing my song
12
I know I've done some wrong, but I can't get right
13
Cause life is like a big fight
14
I'm stickin'-and-movin', tryin' to get my shit right
15
My family's been houndin' me, friends they done turned against me
16
Kinda like they hearts was on a full tank, but now they empty
17
And they say I've changed, but like twins I'm just the same
18
It's because of my job, mo' money mo' prob in this dirty game
19
This industry fucked up
20
That's right I said it, and it's fake as ever
21
Keep real niggas around me, stay "Space Age 4 Eva"
22
Poppa never went and jumped the broom, never got that one degree
23
But if you looked down from heaven, you'd still be proud of me
24
Your son was DUI, but my momma made it by
25
I didn't shed no tears when you left me
26
but the rest of the family cried
27
Trials and tribulations, ruined my concentration
28
Losin my patience, hard times for goodness sake'
29
[Chorus]
30
As this Valium slowly starts to kick in
31
Them subconscious, subliminal thoughts, start tickin'
32
This whole world around me, diseased, and crumblin'
33
Babies doin' dope cause daddy did it right in front of them
34
Everybody wanna blame music for they bad kids
35
Sittin' up in the court talkin' 'bout Eminem made me do what I did
36
My own hard times rolled in like the fog
37
Try to think of others, but I can't get past my own thoughts
38
My momma, in 1967, pickin' cotton
39
While other blacks was gettin' liberated, boycottin'
40
My old man was a player, ain't no hidin' that
41
He started tootin' then he graduated to smokin' crack
42
I never saw him, never needed to see that muh'fucker
43
He left me and my mother stuck down here in this fuckin' gutter
44
I tattooed it on my arm so I can't forget it
45
It's in my mind and my heart so I'm forever with it
46
[Chorus]
47
A drum machine, the old fo'-track, and a pack of new tapes
48
In the middle of, 1988, in a corner cafe
49
We made beats, and hung with old heads, and stayed out late at night
50
Do talent shows, fo'-way split the dough, that was our way of life
51
My momma stayed, home full time so she could raise me
52
Knowin' without a, household father, things could get crazy
53
Sometimes I listened, sometimes I thought I knew it all
54
But nevertheless, momma was with me through it all
55
I graduated out of nothin', not out of school, it was like
56
12, 13, 14 years I'm thinkin' cool
57
I might as well, be focusin' on me tryin' to get paid
58
Usin' these rhymes I've been writin' since in the 7th grade
59
Our team played, and had physical sex with minimum wage
60
It was just like a piece of pussy
61
It fucked me long as I stayed
62
But still I prayed, Lord I'm tryin' now please help me out the water
63
It can't get no harder
64
Help me to get back up and get my shit tomorrow
65
[Chorus: x2]
