Tough Times
Oh god
Tell me why you make your children struggle
Oh god
Tell me why you make your children struggle
“When you’re up against a trouble
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders
Plant your feet and take a brace.”
Pops always used to tell us that
Never knew it would make this kinda impact
Times are gettin tough for me
Hell, times are gettin tough for everybody
Don’t know how i even got enough food in my body to make it from sunday to friday
Living day to day
Payday don’t even feel like payday
Strugglin
Moms always fought her hardest so we never had to meet its face
So we’d never have to feel it’s cold embrace
Never ever wanted us to ever have a taste
Of that lifestyle
Isn’t that wild
Says she’s so proud
Of her son, wow
I don’t know how
She can even form her mouth
To say somethin to crazy
Maybe, she’s hazy
From all them fuckin hours
Of breakin her back
To put food on the table
Down on her knees praying
She keep this table stable
Praying she can make it one more day
Praying these tough times fade away
Oh god
Tell me why you make your children struggle
Oh god
Tell me why you make your children struggle
Now i’m on my knees asking why
Why someone as faithful as my momma
Still has days that make her cry
Why she still has to fight for her life day and night
I may never ever know why
God may never open my eyes
As to why she still has tough times
Man fuck these tough times
I’m begging to you god
Show us some mercy for goodness sake
I’m begging to you god
How much do you think we can take
Do you want us to break
These truths i can’t fake
Do you want us to break
My little faith is shaking
I know you work in mysterious ways
Know all things come together at the end of the day
I know you won’t leave us out here to
Your love is sweet like chocolate cake
I know you’ll save the day
I know you’ll make these tough times fade away
Oh god
Tell me why you make your children struggle
Oh god
Tell me why you make your children struggle
Tell me why you make your children struggle
