Freddie Gibbs
Hard Times
[Verse One]
Let me show you what my day go like, take a sneak peak inside my life
I wake up in the morning fiendin' for weed so I flame the la
If I ain't got it then I'm wonderin' how I'mma get high, with no money
And I just lost my gig, times hard for the kid no food in the fridge
I'm down to my last dollar, they workin' my last nerve
? face out on the curb, pass the herb
Let me keep gettin' slizzered and my problems I might forget 'em
But it could be this weed and this liquor blurrin' my vision
I don't need that, either way it go I'mma maintain
Look like I'm fresh outta options I gotta slang 'caine
It's easy when I just walk up and put the gun to 'em
Now I'm duckin' n***as that's heated from what I done to 'em
Sometimes I feel it ain't a doubt in my mind, that I'mma die before I'm 25
That's why I ride with the iron

[Hook] x2
It's hard times hard livin, you mix it with the hard liquor
We get it how we live n***a, n***as dyin, n***as snitchin
We still gotta stack figures, we get it how we live n***a

[Verse Two]
Livin' this life it get you sent away
Gone tomorrow, but you here today, drug shit is here to stay
The government making a profit, they don't want to stop it
They lockin' n***as in the box when they try to cop it
The snitches is house n***as and this is modern day slavery
Coordinated by Reagan in the eighties
Crack babies and crack dealers and crack hoes
On the corner these n***as fourteen with 44's
Cause he ain't ate in a couple days, he huntin' to get his meal
Take a walk in the gutter come and see how this shit feel
You standin' on the block with your stomach in knots
Tryin' to ? this last rock, damn there go the cops
I get it how I live but the way I live just ain't right
Close my eyes say a prayer to make it through the night
If I should die before I wake then I pray the lord my soul to keep
It's cold in the streets n***a
[Hook]
