Hard Times

[Chorus: Errol Allen]
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know about them hard times
I told my momma, I'ma get it, I wear my heart on my sleeve
They tried to give me something that I don't need
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know 'bout hard times
They never knew about my struggles, they didn't know I could take it
They really thought a youngin' wouldn't make it
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know 'bout

[Verse 1: DizzyEight]
What you know about them hard times
Working forty hour weeks on part time
Praying every single week to see my star shine
Lord, please, help me
Life wasn't healthy
Had to cut some people off, they was moving too stealthy
My heart felt broken from that damage that they dealt me
Until I looked inside to see my worth I know I'm wealthy
Life used to weigh on me, and God made a way for me
Better days wait for me, nothing you could take from me
Might've hurt my heart but promise you ain't never breaking me
Living in my purpose ain't no telling where that's taking me

[Chorus: Errol Allen]
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know about them hard times
I told my momma, I'ma get it, I wear my heart on my sleeve
They tried to give me something that I don't need
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know 'bout hard times
They never knew about my struggles, they didn't know I could take it
They really thought a youngin' wouldn't make it
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know 'bout

[Verse 2: Errol Allen]
Pull up on the scene with the team in a limousine
Super clean, it's a remedy, bet not intervene
It's a scheme, I'm feeling extreme, living bigger dreams
Still a youngin', but they all call me a father figure
All that envy they be hating they be out to get ya
Talking reckless, then they ask you what's the problem wit ya
What's the problem with ya, youngin'
I'm so blessed
I been slept on for so long, I'm so next
I see my blessings unfolding like oh yeah
Been hating on me so long, I don't hear it

[Chorus: Errol Allen]
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know about them hard times
I told my momma, I'ma get it, I wear my heart on my sleeve
They tried to give me something that I don't need
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know 'bout hard times
They never knew about my struggles, they didn't know I could take it
They really thought a youngin' wouldn't make it
What you know 'bout hard times
What you know 'bout hard times
