Hard Times (First Open Mic in months)

IP: 0F73 50F0

How come the word war no longer makes people nervous?,
And the only good deed are done for community service,
And people treat life like it’s a three ring circus,
And always quick to take something that’s not theirs, just like the Persians,
And Trust? Come on, there’s no longer meaning to the word,
Stay thinking bout who’s gonna stab me in the back first,
My brothers, my friends, maybe even my dad,
Fake dude tryin to act like he’s the father I’ve always had,
Attitude of a patriot, discipline of a rebel,
A messed up conscience dyin to get me in trouble,
Vocab of a scholar, I.Q. of Steven Hawkins,
If you wanna test my patience, go ahead and keep talking,
Blood of a slave but I’ll never be beat,
Life sort of like an orphans, cause family is obsolete,
Age: fifteen, four twenty’s the date of birth,
Sex: male, Eyes: Brown, Location: Hell on Earth.

This life that we live did nothin but try to crush us,
Streets rolled hard, so we had to roll tougher,
as young men we were constantly gettn roughed up,
but the hard times are over now, just trust us,
life that we live got mothers cryin everyday,
streets all work, got no time for the play,
everysingle night, close my eyes and I pray,
that these hard times of the 304 would go away,


If you ever ask me why the young boy cries,
I would say that he cries cause is grandma just died,
And his father just left, just left him at home,
All alone, he had to go through his life on his own,
If you ever ask me why the grown man sobs,
I would tell you that he sobs cause he just lost his job,
And he feels like his life’s been hung out to dry,
Then he turns back into that young boy and starts to cry,
If you ever ask me why the single mother weeps,
I would tell you that she weeps cause she just got beat,
Got hit so hard, she was knocked off her feet,
Turns tricks every night cause her baby has to eat,
Now lets get back to the boy that before I spoke of,
Cries every night cause his whole life he was shown no love,
He was the child of the mother, who died in the life of prostitution,
And turned into the grown man who ended up facin’ prosecution

This life that we live did nothin but try to crush us,
Streets rolled hard, so we had to roll tougher,
as young men we were constantly gettn roughed up,
but the hard times are over now, just trust us,
life that we live got mothers cryin everyday,
streets all work, got no time for the play,
everysingle night, close my eyes and I pray,
that these hard times of the 304 would go away,

Yea, now lets get back to my story,
Plenty of moments to be proud of in life, but never felt glory,
Me and my moms never even had our own house, I’ve bout had it,
I feel like Ann Frank, the way for years I was livin in an attic,
But this year I moved wit my father, and so far its been nothing but hatred,
And the best news about livin here is that I’ve been promoted to a basement,
And my dad thinks he can be a father, its too late; I’ve grown up
Now he’s on that Black Eye Peas tip, talking bout “Where is the love,”
Don’t worry, the five year old who had a father still loves you,
But the man he’s grown into 10 years later wants nothing of you,
At least my mom got off the drugs, went away, and got better,
Came back and told her son she would love him forever,
Cause I don’t care if I gotta walk to Georgia to see my mother and friends,
In one year I’m leavin, hopin I never see you again,
I’ve been through hard times, and taught myself the ways of the life,
I’ve been poor, hungry and homeless, roamin the streets seven days six nights,
