Harder Times

[Hook] Look how hard mama work just trying to get by And enough ghetto youth so they still want no get no bly Just keep on the hustle ‘cause we have to stay pon the grind Don’t give up on yo dreams ‘cause you know the sun will shine The sun will shine [Verse 1] I’m tired in the morning, too late at night See mama scraping for nickles and dimes On the salary she’s making we can barely survive Tell me is these something greater in this life? [PreHook] Wait, said mama Patience, said mama Breaking down is not an option Make it happen my son [Hook] [Verse 2] How much more can my mama take? Now I’ve got to step up to the play Can’t afford to make mistakes Ain’t no time to waste [PreHook] Wait, said mama Patience, said mama Breaking down is not an option Make it happen somehow [Hook] [Verse 3] The whole damn system a-make it so hard From California straight to New York From Chicago going straight down her yard People everywhere, there might be work and a strife Can’t get a visa to fly over the borderline Everywhere I go them facing much harder times They know the grass no greener pon the other side But me still want see what me can't find [Hook x2]
