Lyrics
0:02Yeah-yeah ooohhhhhhhhh
0:12So many hard times
0:17Yea-yeahhhhhh ooohhhhhhhhhh
0:25Yeahhhh-yeah-yeah-yeah yeah-yeahhhh
0:32YEAHHHHH yeah-yeah
0:37YEAHHHHHHHHHH
1:03Cold cold eyes upon me they stare
1:08People all around me and they're all in fear
1:13They don't seem to want me but they won't admit
1:17I must be some kind of creature up here having fits
1:23From my party house I'm afraid to come outside
1:27Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride
1:32So I play the part I feel they want of me
1:36And I pull the shades so I won't see them seeing me
1:41Having hard times in this crazy town
1:46Having hard times there's no love to be found
1:51Having hard times in this crazy town
1:55Having hard times there's no love to be found
2:02Yeah yeah yeah
2:09In my party house I feel like meeting others
2:14Familiar faces creed and race a brother
2:19But to my surprise I find a man corrupt
2:23Although he be my brother he wants to hold me up
2:28Having hard times in this crazy town
2:33Having hard times there's no love to be found
2:37Having hard times in this crazy town
2:42Having hard times there's no love to be found
2:47Check it out seventeen years and counting
2:49I'm tryna climb up the rough side of the mountain
2:51Friends warned me I'ma have to do it without them
2:54No problem really it was never about them
2:56So my house I never come out from
2:58Cause every day a drought then a shadow of doubt come
3:00I'm down to do whatever if it betters my outcome
3:02The city's like the Audubon Ballroom waiting on Malcolm
3:05Cause people wanna see my blood flow like fountains
3:08I got nowhere to go and still feel like bouncing
3:10I'm looking for the closest window I can rap from
3:12Or for the highest speaker-box that I can shout from
3:15And I'm hoping to feel like something is real
3:17But it's no hope when you are but a spoke in a wheel
3:20A brick in a wall tryna find an opening still
3:22Having hard times tryna climb over the hill
3:24Yeah so many hard times yeah yeah
3:29Sleeping on motel floors yeah yeah
3:34Knocking on my brother's door
3:37Eating Spam Oreos
3:39Drinking Thunderbird baby yeaaaaaaahhhh
3:44Having hard times in this crazy town
3:48Having hard times there's no love to be found
3:53Having hard times in this crazy town
3:58Having hard times there's no love to be found
4:03Having hard times in this crazy town
4:08Having hard times there's no love to be found
4:12Having hard times in this crazy town
