Lyrics
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No
Woo, hoo
It's tough times, mayne
Yeah
It's tough times (Times), pressure bust pipes (Pipes)
Stressin' cause ulcers, gotta eat white rice (Rice)
We try to do some clean but we end up doin' dirty (Dirty)
Us dudes nowadays don't plan on living past thirty (Past thirty)
Beef ain't never over, it's inherited to the children
It's scandalous on my soil and the sidewalks smell like urine
Saved and sanctified, she was a good little girl, yeah
Got hooked, backslid, now she's in the world (In the world)
In the world? Yup (Yeah), in world means sin (Sin)
Used to speak in tongues (Tongues), but now she speaks in gin (Gin)
Everywhere I scoot, I gotta keep my stapler with me (What you got?)
Automatic semi in my primer box Chevy (Chevy)
Tough times, my paper on the respirator
No job, no food in the refrigerator (Oh, oh, oh)
Tough times, news say it's gettin' worse
Gotta change, gotta put it reverse
Tough times, tough times (Yeah)
We gon' get through these tough times, yeah
I'm lookin' in my wallet (Wallet), I'm comin' up with nothin' (Nothin')
Today my daughter birthday (Birthday), but my pockets touchin' (Touchin')
She say she wants a jumper (Jumper), balloon, some cake and friends (Friends)
But I can't even do it (Do it), 'cause I ain't got no ends, no
I'm fresh up out the oowop, I'm a man, not a mouse
Gotta get a job before they let me out the halfway house
It's me against the system, tryna get reformed (Formed)
Systemized, sometimes I wish that I was never born, yeah
Every time I lose my faith and get to reachin' for my gun (Gun)
I pick up my Bible and read Chronicles or Psalms (Psalms)
I'm on my hands and knees askin' God to forgive me (To forgive me)
But Lord, why do I have to pray for my enemies? (For my enemies), uh
Tough times, my paper on the respirator (Tough times, yeah)
No job, no food in the refrigerator (No job, no)
Tough times, news say it's gettin' worse (Tough times, oh, why)
Gotta change, gotta put it reverse
Tough times, tough times (Tough times)
We gon' get through these tough times, yeah
(We gon' get through it, mayne)
Folks be two-faceded (Faceded), they'll stab you in your back (Back)
Get they best friend eraseded (Eraseded), have his dude jacked (Jacked) (Yeah)
Take you from your family (Family), plot on your demise ('mise)
Slick, sly and scandalously, element of surprise
My OG potna's older sister (Sister), she 'bout to go ballistic
She going through it 'cause she just found out her daughter is autistic
I told her not to worry (Worry), it's Jesus you believe in
Believe it or not, everything happens for a reason
Listen to my spoke (Spoke), I speak it from the heart
I ain't tardy, y'all, I'm woke (Woke), God gave me this art (Art)
To spit from the jaw (Jaw), and spill it from my gut (Gut) (Yeah)
Give it to you raw unedit and uncut (Yeah, yeah, yeah), uh
Tough times, my paper on the respirator (Tough times, tough times)
No job, no food in the refrigerator (Job, yeah)
Tough times, news say it's gettin' worse (It's gettin' worse)
Gotta change, gotta put it reverse (Put it in reverse now)
Tough times, tough times (Tough times)
We gon' get through these tough times, yeah
Tough times, my paper on the respirator (Tough times)
No job, no food in the refrigerator (No job)
Tough times, news say it's gettin' worse (Tough times, yeah)
Gotta change, gotta put it reverse (Gotta put it in reverse)
Tough times, tough times (Yeah)
We gon' get through these tough times
He that dwelleth from the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God
In Him will I trust
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler and from the noisome pestilence
He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust
His truth shall be thy shield and buckler
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day
