Yeah yeah ooohhhhhhhhh

So many hard times

Yea yeahhhhhh ooohhhhhhhhhh

Yeahhhh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhh

YEAHHHHH yeah yeah

YEAHHHHHHHHHH

Cold cold eyes upon me they stare

People all around me and they're all in fear

They don't seem to want me but they won't admit

I must be some kind of creature up here having fits

From my party house I'm afraid to come outside

Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride

So I play the part I feel they want of me

And I pull the shades so I won't see them seeing me

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Yeah yeah yeah

In my party house I feel like meeting others

Familiar faces creed and race a brother

But to my surprise I find a man corrupt

Although he be my brother he wants to hold me up

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Check it out seventeen years and counting

I'm tryna climb up the rough side of the mountain

Friends warned me I'ma have to do it without them

No problem really it was never about them

So my house I never come out from

Cause every day a drought then a shadow of doubt come

I'm down to do whatever if it betters my outcome

The city's like the Audubon Ballroom waiting on Malcolm

Cause people wanna see my blood flow like fountains

I got nowhere to go and still feel like bouncing

I'm looking for the closest window I can rap from

Or for the highest speaker box that I can shout from

And I'm hoping to feel like something is real

But it's no hope when you are but a spoke in a wheel

A brick in a wall tryna find an opening still

Having hard times tryna climb over the hill

Yeah so many hard times yeah yeah

Sleeping on motel floors yeah yeah

Knocking on my brother's door

Eating Spam Oreos

Drinking Thunderbird baby yeaaaaaaahhhh

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Having hard times in this crazy town

Having hard times there's no love to be found

Yea yeah yea yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeaaaahhh yeah

Yeah mmmmm yeah yeaaah

So many hard times yeah yeah

Sleeping on motel floors yeah yeah

Knocking on my brother's door

Eating Spam and Oreos

Drinking Thunderbird baby ohhhhhhhhh yeah

I don't wanna do it no more

No no no no no

I don't wanna go back there no more

No ohhhhhh

I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna
