Hard times, hard times
Ain't all you see
Like times ain't hard enough (facts)
They done everything to make it hard for us (fuck 'em)
I'm just tired of the man trying to target us (shit)
I know a President ain't never ever pardon us (fuck' em)
I try to play but I guess I ain't God enough (pray for me)
I used to sit by the fan watch it harden up (try)
That's the only way we can make a dollar (facts)
Arresting me is the only way police can make a collar
Trying to make America great again (say that)
I think you're trying to make America hate again (facts)
Drive through America in my latest Benz
We dealing with political trickery
I know a clown when I see one, ain't no tricking me
I used to sit by the fan watch it harden up
And all these pains in my back like they whipping me
Tell the NRA I'm gonna vote with the fifth of me
Young boys be drilling like (nasty)
What 'bout all the slaves that you have killed?
I know I'm getting deep but the truth hurts
At this point where police is like shoot first
I know I'm getting deep but the truth hurts
At this point where police is like shoot first
I know I'm getting deep but the truth hurts (loud)
At this point where police is like shoot first (back)
I know time's hard for us mentally
Tryna take our joy, gotta reserve energy
My pupils on the police, my eye on the enemy
Until they do right it's a fight 'til infinity
No choice but to thrive in the darkness
Power to the people, this system is heartless
Take no prisoners, better stay cautious
Better be ready, don't let 'em see you exhausted
That's why our boy keep flossing
Pushing forward, expanding, evolving
Real progress, they don't want it, they keep stalling
No accountability, the nail in the coffin
Shout out to my uncle Marvin
Taught me hunger for knowledge, now I'm starving
Only the strong will survive, I ain't talking Darwin
Evolutionary nigga spit flame new arson
I don't need a pardon, fuck you, pay me
They say your boy a rebel, probably, maybe
Blame it on the city 'cause it's how the city made me
Loud and carefree, prideful and crazy
Super melanated, super educated
Shout it from the rooftop, mama we gon' make it
They don't give liberty, you gotta take it
The laws they makin', don't bend 'em, break it
Let's face it, this country wouldn't give a pot to piss
And the cops are the worst kind of block of pigs
When they shoot they better hope the shot don't miss
'Cause niggas be gettin' ready for the apocalypse
Hard times, hard times
Ain't all, ain't all, ain't all you see
