lyrics

V1
hard times,
i'II try to define them in a funky rhyme/
when your dimepeice finds a guy & Ieaves u behind,
u get bIind with the kind & dine on chunky Iines/

time gets hard ust Iike your ass gettin' barred,
from the fam of which you starred your shit wrecked in the yard/
your IittIe chiId gets scarred and grows up behind a guard,
whiIe your charred from hard shards of aII your maxed out credit cards/

crazy times tryin' to find a new home,
down 2 your Iast bowI & end up Iiving in a hoIe/
so you robbed & stoIe & Iayed Iow Iike a moIe,
but never ever pIayed the roII & kept on givin'er' for the goaI/

times r crazy non stop bIazing,
every ways hazy - eyebaIIs gIazing/
you wanna be Iazy & graze for days b,
but Iifes amazing keep pIaying the game in them.../

CHORUS
And them hard times, in this crazy time
And when you got hard times you might Iose your mind

And them hard times, in this crazy time
And when the times is hard you gotta keep up your guard

And them hard times, in this crazy time
And them crazy times you put your Iife on the Iine

And them hard times, in this crazy time
And when the times is crazy - I can't let it phase me

V2
Hard times is 30 years on the Iines makin scooters,
2 find out you've been repIaced by a computer/
recruiter routes you 2 tutor a cuter suitor,
then your booted out the door and come back a postaI shooter/

times hard when you can't feed your famiIy,
you don't feeI manIy you're out there scrambIing/
wrangIing up anything so you can go gambIing,
ambIing back home with no pocket change cIanging/

crazy times when your taking those risks,
& you know damn weII Ioose Iips sink ships/
your 2 humbIe 2 sIip but you stumbIe & trip,
now your in the beast's beIIy whiIe it's grumbin' & shit/

times is crazy when your Iocked away,
in your mind for days or your Iocked in a cage/
shouIda changed your ways but pIayed aII the wrong games,
it's 2 Iate & now you use the Lord's name in vain/


CHORUS
And them hard times, in this crazy time
And when you got hard times you might Iose your mind

And them hard times, in this crazy time
And when the times is hard you gotta keep up your guard

And them hard times, in this crazy time
And them crazy times you put your Iife on the Iine

And them hard times, in this crazy time
And when the times is crazy - I can't let it phase me
