Z-Ro - Hard Times lyrics
[Chorus: Z-Ro]
 Hard Times, look over your peoples 'cause everybody dyin'
 Osama Bin Loden 'em droppin' bombs man.
 In a situation like this, how can we stay calm man? Calm man?
 My nigga this is Hard Times, like it's so much gun smoke & see the stars shine.
 We livin' on dreams but is they comin' true? What I'm gonna do
 Make a million & pull a stunt or 2, a stunt or 2.
 [Trae:]
 Step into the world of a mob nigga, live in so much pain
 The rain steady pumpin' me up, locked down on Hard Times
 But I'm knowin' that I gotta make it runnin' on my deadline
 Givin' out flat lines 'cause if you think that I'm feelin'
 Fuckin' up by mine man, I gotta maintain
 It's like everything that I had, it won't ever be the same
 I feel my sickin' home is the cemetery
 'Cause that's where all of my people rest
 I can't take the stress, I'm finna send it through somebody chest
 That's why I walk around pissed off, strapped with a vest
 I done been through alot, ready to release the glock
 Vicinities South, a brother on my Dickie, I be ready to ride
 And I'm sick of this shit, I ain't finna be hidin' out, lately
 Street life's got a nigga lost. Will I wind up in a coffin?
 I don't know, I'm about to blow, I don't wanna take no more
 But when I bust in a rush, you better hit the flow
 Reality is a muthafucker, that's what they was tellin' a nigga
 That's just the truth, I lost my nigga Screw 
 And Relay too & Andrew. Now what about Danny Boo?
 That's fucked up, growin' up in a childhood all alone with nobody to love
 No mama no daddy, Z-Ro I see why these niggas can't relate to us
 'Cause we them thugs of another kind
 Makin' these niggas feel us 2 rhymes
 'Cause if they lived the life that we live
 They'd probably be broke down, cryin' & dyin'.
 [Chorus: Z-Ro]
 Hard Times, look over your peoples 'cause everybody dyin'
 Osama Bin Loden 'em droppin' bombs man.
 In a situation like this, how can we stay calm man? Calm man?
 My nigga this is Hard Times, like it's so much gun smoke & see the stars shine.
 We livin' on dreams but is they comin' true? What I'm gonna do
 Make a million & pull a stunt or 2, a stunt or 2.
 [Z-Ro:]
 Livin' in the ghetto, everyday it's a muthafuckin' test
 And I just can't rest, gotta keep a vest around my chest
 Seem like everybody wanna start a little plex
 Nigga but not me though, I'm tryin' to focus on bigger & brighter things
 Steady tryin' to come out the storm
 From hurricanes to Heaven & lighter rain
 Runnin' away from the police
 Nigga fuck peace, it's all about war
 Nothin' but a AK & a HK & a Tommy Gun
 Sittin' in the back of the car, I just can't cope
 Everybody is a suspect, even if you don't bust I'm a bust backZ-Ro - Hard Times - http://motolyrics.com/z-ro/hard-times-lyrics.html
 We down to ride & all you little bitches & niggas get off my nut sack
 Been 18 lonely years since I buried my T Dogs
 When I be shootin' the breeze
 But I'm still conversatin' like she ain't gone
 You can take a look at this light of mine
 Never did glimmer, never did shine
 'Cause I resort to a life of crime
 And I know I'm wrong, but I gotta get mine
 Fools don't understand me, a nigga be nervous 24/7
 Puffin' on sticky, eyes redder than period candy
 Look at my pockets, I might as well stop it
 Because them hoes on flat, look in the freezer
 And a sive ain't nothin' but a stomach, these are Hard Times.
 [Chorus: Z-Ro]
 Hard Times, look over your peoples 'cause everybody dyin'
 Osama Bin Loden 'em droppin' bombs man.
 In a situation like this, how can we stay calm man? Calm man?
 My nigga this is Hard Times, like it's so much gun smoke & see the stars shine.
 We livin' on dreams but is they comin' true? What I'm gonna do
 Make a million & pull a stunt or 2, a stunt or 2.
 [Trae:]
 Ro pass me the AK
 One of these niggas finna pay for everything that I'm feelin' ain't no more healin'
 To the head with led is the only thing I'm a be drillin'
 My nigga this is Hard Times & the way that it look
 I don't think that it's gonna get better
 The only thing that's here is to suck it up inside I know that's why we not givin' a fuck
 Ready to bust on anything this life feelin' like we on our last breath
 I'm quiet as kept, my nigga don't start
 Or else somebody gon' see they death
 Or hate us like that, but this side of Trae it be like that all the time
 The only thing that I know more than pain is pain & me never dyin'.
 [Z-Ro:]
 Poverty stricken & headed to prison
 Hopin' & runnin' for life, you lookin' for codeine
 Or amphetamines, I got 'em at the cheapest price
 Livin' by the rules of the street life, finna get niggas
 Better beat the street light home, after dark I par-park
 Everybody be trippin' attemptin' to get rich
 Dig a bigger ditch bitch bleed, I'm a muthafuckin' man
 Tryin' to do all that I can, I always held my ground
 And I never ran, got shot for takin' a stand
 I need a plexin' because I'm stressin' losin' my mind
 Smokin' wesson, my head I'm pressin' Hard Times.
 [Chorus: Z-Ro] [x2]
 Hard Times, look over your peoples 'cause everybody dyin'
 Osama Bin Loden 'em droppin' bombs man.
 In a situation like this, how can we stay calm man? Calm man?
 My nigga this is Hard Times, like it's so much gun smoke & see the stars shine.
 We livin' on dreams but is they comin' true? What I'm gonna do
 Make a million & pull a stunt or 2, a stunt or 2.
