[Hook]

Hard times yeah they come around

Old friends yeah they come around

Past loves yeah they come around

I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

Hard times they come and they go

Old friends like where did you go

Past loves are all on your phone

And I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

[Verse 1]

You're the one who believed in me always holding me down

You always dabbing me up anytime I see you around

Told you all my deepest fears

The demons that I lay with

All them high school years we had the deepest conversations

Now we hardly talk, ain't that ironic

You got a girl and disappear, man I'm just being honest

You went from, "Always there" to hardly around

You went from, "Ride or die" to let me ask my girl if she's down

Damn

Bitter for the changes

But everybody ages

Tell me what's a journey with no people you came with

I think about you now and now I'm so bitter I hate it

'Cause if you're hearing this shit I hope you feel what I'm saying

You my mans and you know it

Go live your life and don't blow it

I'm hoping I've been holding on like one day we can be golden

We haven't talked in a while but keep your head out the rain

I'm here if you need me but no it won't be the same, 'cause

[Hook]

Hard times yeah they come around

Old friends yeah they come around

Past loves yeah they come around

I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

Hard times they come and they go

Old friends like where did you go

Past loves are all on your phone

And I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

[Verse 2]

You one for the swishes you the boy with them layups

Summer nights talking tours like, "You know I'm going to take us"

You're my brother for sure

Who knows where you're gonna go

But I can't sit back and watch you waste your time with life anymore

'Cause every since you got laid off it's like you laid off of life

You ain't in school, you got no job, but you're balling at night

And every time we talk you're like, "Don't worry things will be tight"

Couple days go by, you hit me up come through with a ride

And this is the hardest love to get but I'm not turning my back

But I hate that the fact that you act, like shit will fall in your lap

Like when will you earn

Like When will you learn

You think I like waiting tables, waiting for tables to turn

But we have dreams and we're running

What's a dream with no funding

Doesn't cost you anything to tell the world that you're coming

So go and piece it together my man its up to you now

I'm down to bring you up with me, but you're not bringing me down, 'cause

[Hook]

Hard times yeah they come around

Old friends yeah they come around

Past loves yeah they come around

I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

Hard times they come and they go

Old friends like where did you go

Past loves are all on your phone

And I'm not trying to stick around when they, when they come my way

[Outro]

Trying to find the better me

The harder times are getting me

Trying to give you all a better reason to remember me

Can't be complacent

When I've been stuck in the basement

Been looking at harder times

But that's the times we facing

Generation of kids

Numb to the heart

I'm trying to save us all but where do I start

Give you what's left of my chest

And I hope for the best

So just give me your hands

And I'll take care of the rest
