[Chorus: ? & Bakarii]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
[Chorus: ? & Bakarii]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
Hard times

[Verse 1: Bakarii]
Got me stressing, so I roll a swisher sweet
Hope this weed gives me [keen?], I [recieve?] no defeat
[?] like it gets wild, and it's worse on my terf
Where we work and we play in the dirt
The stars on my arms and my hands
Grew apart, too advanced
So I laugh, as I glance and respond to [?] when they blast
[?]
Every line
When I see you, it's hard times (Hard times)
In these gutters, that's where you see my face (Hard)
Smoking bud with a bitch from different states
No love for these fakers, cause they be foney to me
[?] that's how these record labels wanna screw me
My independentices tendencies form the juggernot
For those that hustle then dash then go pick up they notch
Forever hustle, stay mental plus always keep your guard
Cause on these corners it gets hard, hard hard
[Chorus: ? & Bakarii]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
Hard times

[Verse 2: Big Scoob]
[?] make this grown man cry well listen here
Imma spill my heart and tell you why I'm droppin tears
Ain't no [?] been through it all
For my dawgs who ain't here, man I'm speaking through y'all
It's like this shit been a fairytale chasing [?]
Living life on the edge, as I'm headed for jail
Hearing voices, makin' choices, get me closer to hell
No one to tell y'all can't hear me I'm expected to fail
Full of greed that's my [?]
That's my needs, how I bleed, daily dodging them [?]
[?] I can feel my soul burning
For that cheese, I gets mean [?]
Steady learning, this gutter's my teacher, ain't got no preacher
Just my villains on the side of me, fucked up, ready to die for me
Mama, why'd you lie to me?
Told me time would heal my wounds
But all I see is poverty, and hard times, and I'm so confused
[Chorus: ? & Bakarii]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
Hard times

[Verse 3: Bakarii]
Every soldier can tell a war story (Hard)
On my block, you get caught up [?] hell [?] (Hard times)
For a soldier that's out to get his bread (Hard)
Make the sale, get your mail, but never rest your head
Cause it gets dirty, [?] so always keep your tool
[?] act a damn fool
Only get one chance, advance, and be the sure agresser
These gutter lessons increases the pressure
So [?] hard nox vill life n***a for real
[?] reveal
[?] late night bustin' the deal
This is how I grew up, holding the steal
[?] closest one [?] your dawg or your n***a
But the police come to get you, with they hand on the trigger
[?] mental state stay mental so I just keep my guard
Cause on these corners gets hard, hard, hard
[Chorus: ? & Bakarii]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
Hard times
[?] my hard times
[?] like a gift
[?]
Hard times
[?] my hard times
Stay chasing, stacking the chips
Hard times
