Hard times hard times
Ain’t it all you see
As if times ain’t hard enough
They done did everything
to make it hard for us
I’m just tired of the man
trying to target us
I know a President ain’t
never ever pardon us
I try to pray but I guess
I ain’t God enough
I used to sit
by the fan watch it harden up
That’s the only way
we can make a dollar
Arresting me is the only way
police can make a collar
Trying to make America great again
I think you’re trying
to make America hate again
Drive thru America is
my latest Benz
We dealing with political trickery
I Know a clown when I see one
Ain’t no tricking me
I used to sit
by the fan watch it harden up
All these pains in my back
like they whipping me
Tell the NRA I’m gonna vote
with the 5th of me
Young boys be drilling like
What ‘bout all dem slaves
that you had killed
I know I’m gettin’ deep
but the truth hurts
At this point where police is
like shoot first
I know I’m getting deep
but the truth hurts
At this point where police is
like shoot first
I know I’m getting deep
but the truth hurts
At this point where police is
like shoot first
I know time’s hard
for us mentally
Trying to take our joy
Gotta reserve energy
My pupils on the police
My eye on the enemy
Until they do right
it’s a fight till infinity
No choice but to thrive
in the darkness
Power to the people
this system is heartless
Take no prisoners
better stay cautious
Better be ready
Don’t let ‘em see you exhausted
That’s why our boy keep flossing
Pushing forward
expanding evolving
Real progress they don’t want it
They keep stalling
No accountability the nail
in the coffin
Shoutout to my uncle Marvin
Taught me the knowledge
Now I’m starving
Only the strong will survive
I ain’t talking Darwin
Evolutionary niggas spit flame
new arson
I don’t need a pardon
Fuck you pay me
They say your boy a rebel
probably maybe
Blame it on the city
‘cause it’s how
the city made me
I’ll be carefree prideful
and crazy
Super melanated
Super educated
Shout it from the rooftop
Mama we gon’ make it
They don’t give liberty
You gotta take it
The laws they makin’
Don’t bend ‘em break it
Lets face it
This country wouldn’t
give a pot to piss
And the cops are
the worst kind of block of pigs
When they shoot
they better hope
the shot don’t miss
‘Cause niggas be gettin’ ready
for the apocalypse
Hard times hard times
Ain’t it all you see
