Hard Times

And we been poor forever No this rain ain't gon pour forever the sun gotta shine Shade come first after its light A young bull my life rose after the mic And they won't there when I was rapping them nights I couldn't sleep good Thoughts I wouldn't make it in life I couldn't eat good Days I was looking to God to get my strength back Or walked away from God not knowing how ima get back On the real when ion feel God close to me He either testing me or Ain praying how I pose to be We been through hard times hard fights hard days hard nights we then had a hard life But it showed me I can handle a lot And Ain Willie Weatherspoon but I can handle the rock Them hard times really make you or break you in a storm Hard times really shape you or shake you on yo own Hard times show who real and who faking It was keeping me waiting, yeah it's hurting but it's teaching me patience It was showing me that finding something real be a hard find Cause youn know the real from fake until them hard times Tough times bad times when them bills late It got real hard we was having real faith And I just prayed I can't tell you how a pill taste And we ain't never starve but we ain't never had a real plate We won't the brokest but we never had real cake Me and bro was splitting 7 dollars and we still ate And this way before he knew I could rap He was giving me a hand before he knew I could snap And way before they ever knew me as jack They was saying they would stand with the kid but I knew it was Cap And we been living off the scraps still poor forever No this rain ain't gon pour forever I got on my two feet ain laying on the floor forever My hand hurt cause we been knocking on this door forever And they won't there when I was rapping them nights I couldn't sleep good Thoughts I wouldn't make it in life I couldn't eat good Days I was looking to God to get my strength back Or walked away from God not knowing how ima get back On the real when ion feel God close to me He either testing me or Ain praying how I pose to be And when it rain plant a sesame Test that was testing me Stress still stressing me God still blessing me, rapping only showing them the best of me God still working on the rest of me Walking through the valley of death he stand next to me I know he riding when I look he right beside me When I was in them hard times I was writing hard rhymes Never hide my war wounds, I'm letting my scars shine And we been poor forever With the devil this a war forever And I gotta shine In hard times used to wrestle with my self Now I pray cause I can't beat the devil by myself And God was dere when I was rapping them nights I couldn't sleep good Thoughts I wouldn't make it in life I couldn't eat good Days I was looking to him to get my strength back Or turnt my back on em not knowing how ima get back On the real when ion feel God close to me He either testing me or ain praying how I'm pose to be
