Hard Times

I would never break because of hard times
 The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines
 I would never fall because of hard times
 Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine
 Trynna keep myself from going under
 So, I wonder, rainy days I feel the thunder
 All this hunger
 Take you back when I was younger
 Ambitious yea with many schemes
 I might get a triple beam
 I'm just trynna feel success
 Before I get to feel my death
 I been losing tolerance
 The neighbors been up hollering
 You been preaching hope
 But the devils who you following
 My city is a warzone
 They shooting like its oracle
 Maneuver to your spot
 Then they shooting at your torso
 Funerals they scare me
 To death I won't be married
 Ima stay with God
 Til the day that I'm buried
 Life ain't no fairytale
 I know my homies very well
 Under pressure, under oath
 I know my homies wouldn't tell
 Let's go hit a lick, I just wanna feel rich
 Lord forgive me for my sins
 My patience running thin and I just wanna win
 I just wanna win
 Been losing to much please don't rub it in
 I would never break because of hard times
 The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines
 I would never fall because of hard times
 Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine
 Last night I cried tears as I stared at the same wall
 I been watching for years, now I'm facing my fears
 Pacing back and forth; watching my peers
 I been working hard, getting no cheers
 You on the throne, then I'm taking your chair
 Stressing things that I can't control
 I should take a seat and watch it unfold
 I should relax but I carry a load
 So I shot and then I reload
 Close calls been to close, the devils doing the most
 That's not the way to go
 Your losing your soul, your losing yourself
 The darkness gon grow
 And as the darkness starts to creep
 You wanna reach a higher place by going underneath
 I been feeling so low, I don't know where to go
 I been losing myself, I been losing control
 I just wanted to live, just wanted to win
 Just wanted to rise, you see the pain in my eyes
 I would never break because of hard times
 The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines
 I would never fall because of hard times
 Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine
