"Tough Times" lyrics
Look
Let me be honest, I need no nigga pity
I know no nigga locked me in this motherfuckin' city
Many shovels needed, my people struggle to get me
Probably 'cause my articulation been gettin' shifty
Love me 'lone, the road I'm on, I promise it get twisty
Mama, I know how to find a star, [?] 60
But I hope all these damn talkin' I did made niggas miss me
Hope all this damn agony gon' lead me where death kiss me
Not on a sad note, God got a bigger plan
Hard to be the bigger man
Hard to find the balance in yourself when you ain't givin' in
Hard to find a fuck to give when you the one not fittin' in
Hard to find the time, man, it's up, now we chin to chin
High school, I was lil' Bill, now I'm countin' bills
Fuck it, nigga, you don't know how I feel 'til you really feel
I know I could bury all my pain, but I go to steal
Fuck it, let my mama tell it, we ain't never miss a meal
Oh wait, uh-huh, that come with no disrespect
We could've had it much hard, I am not tryna deflect
Look, all the shit we went through, I don't have a single regret
It gave me character and motivation, what an effect
I mean, God did it, so honestly, what we expect?
We all livin', so it's fuck it, man, I'm placin' my bets
If God ain't swishin' that bitch, who even touchin' the net?
Tough times make a good man sad
Tough times turn a good man bad
Look, without a Father, what do we have? I don't know
I'm prayin' for His mercy on me
Tough times make a good man sad
Tough times turn a good man bad
Look, without a Father, what do we have? I don't know
I'm prayin' for His mercy on me
Thank you, God, I'm glad a nigga woke up today
Seem like the thanks that I should always give, but really convey
I wonder why we find it hard to fuckin' sit and just pray?
Please tell me to stay
Please keep me from everything that would take me away
I find it harder and harder to keep this moment in place
We lackin' God and it shows, we lackin' God in the world
We got to summer, still cold
I mean just look at the kids, this shit be hurtin' my soul, damn
Adam and Eve is just the story that you want and don't know
It's Satan roaming the streets, the pussy gettin' more bold
God, please, how much longer? I don't wanna be old
God, please, how much longer you gon' leave us on hold?
God, please, this world is wicked, they just want the control
I tried to do that with my life, but now I give it to you
The lack of feeling of your spirit what's been leavin' me blue
I got a subtle feeling in me, should be leavin' me soon, yeah
Tried to tell 'em, tried to love 'em, I don't know, uh
Through the pain, I feel, I grow, uh
Ride too deep, they go where I go
God ain't finished, like the back of your iPhone
Nigga, check the time zone
I ain't worried 'bout it, I'm only reapin' what I've sowed
If there's ever snakes in the grass, pussy, I mow
Tough times make a good man sad
Tough times turn a good man bad
Look, without a Father, what do we have? I don't know
I'm prayin' for His mercy on me
Tough times make a good man sad
Tough times turn a good man bad
Look, without a Father, what do we have? I don't know
I'm prayin' for His mercy on me
I don't care how bad it gets, I don't care how dark it is
God is always within, there is light always within you
Don't let a moment define you, you define the moment
Let me be honest, I need no nigga pity
I know no nigga locked me in this motherfuckin' city
Many shovels needed, my people struggle to get me
Probably 'cause my articulation been gettin' shifty
Love me 'lone, the road I'm on, I promise it get twisty
Mama, I know how to find a star, [?] 60
