I'm blue in green, sad in a state of envy
Society got us competin' like we enemies
So jealous we end up committin' felonies
When all we really wanna find is a remedy
Love yours - Cole said it best
Hard to love yours when everything around you is a mess
Broke - And I don't know when my meal comin next
Life got me stressed all I wanna do is rest
Yes Yes Lord - I could give it to you
But the first done came and went so the rent overdue
Lights still on but I leave them off to go with the mood
I'm blue - naw I'm black cuz the room is too
Help me out - I just need a little light
Something to help me get through the night
Smile on my face so you think I'm alright
Can't leave now so I guess I'll pick the pen up and write
Hard times make you feel down and out
Them hard times make you feel down and out
Hard times send you down a bad route
Keep ya head high cuz the strong make it out
Hard times make you feel down and out
Them hard times make you feel down and out
Hard times send you down a bad route
Keep ya head high cuz the strong make it out
Tank on E that's how my bank account be
Blanket in my car to keep me warm while I sleep
Tryin not to let these people see
But you know they gon notice it eventually
Cuz today is Monday
And Friday's when I get my Monay
And I ain't got no clothes on-may
Aside from what I'm wearin' so
You know them assholes gon' be starin'
At my job they rob me constantly
Do all this work they don't pay me properly
I wanna leave but I need money to help me eat
And as you can see I'm basically on the street
In a few months time I'll be gone
So I just gotta keep on keepin' on
A change in scenery is what I need, stay strong
I ain't gon' let this be my swan song
Hard times make you feel down and out
Them hard times make you feel down and out
Hard times send you down a bad route
Keep ya head high cuz the strong make it out
Hard times make you feel down and out
Them hard times make you feel down and out
Hard times send you down a bad route
Keep ya head high cuz the strong make it out
