Times Are Hard Nino Bless (Ft. Jay Life & Joe Budden)

(verse) Nino Bless

Situations arise I gotta stay focused I know this
Can't walk with a chip on a shoulder like somebody owe us
Shorty strapped with a 45th in this land of soldiers
Its either that or forfeit his manhood to the vultures
& mami's in the room screaming ..
"Ay carrajo ese Guliani un diablo"
But I ain't understand that shit til they threw forty hollow tips at Diallo
Wut followed, a blatent fix in the midst of satin's shadow
My fate, like the first time I was given a gun
In the wrong hands, thats a fact when you live in the slums
Drive by's, hit and runs, a child dies too often
Niggas killing for funds cuz they grew up with poor sense
But when you poor cents is hard to come by
Liquor's still poured when sombody's son died
And it rains while we cry for god
Thats no response when {Times R Hard}

(Hook) Jay Life

But its cool and I won't let that bother me
Cause this what I'm goin do
Ain't no time for losing gotta keep it moving {times are hard}
Ain't nothing change, if all my kid's gonna be the same
Death is the only gurantee, gotta keep moving ain't not time for losing
