Hard Times
D/SIR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hard times spreading just like the flu
Watch out homeboy, don't let it catch you
P-p-prices go up, don't let your pocket go down
When you got short money you're stuck on the ground
Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the prize
And be on point for the future shock

Hard times [Repeat x2]

Hard times are coming to your town
So stay alert, don't let them get you down
They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard
But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
Hard times got our pockets all in chains
I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain
All day I have to work at my peak
Because I need that dollar every day of the weak

Hard times

Hard times can take you on a natural trip
So keep your balance, and don't you slip
Hard times is nothing new on me
I'm gonna use my strong mentality
Like the cream of the crop, like the crop of the cream
Be-be-beating hard times, that is my theme
Hard times in life, hard times in death
I'm gonna keep on fighting to my very last breath





Hard times [Repeat x6]

Don't come around if you don't be around
I've been the man you believe me now
Maybe I'm not flyin but I'm floatin
If we're not headin to the top
Where we're goin
Two miles an hour
Can you picture me rollin
Cause life is so much better
When you live in slow motion
