Hard Time - Intellectual

[Intro]

Hard times

They spread, just like the flu

Watch out my nigga don't let it catch you

P-p-prices goin' up don't let your money go down

'Cuz when you got short money it feel like you stuck on the ground

[Verse 1]

These hard times got a nigga out here stressin'

Shorty put down the books and picked up the Smith and Wesson

He really can't hustle plus the nigga with the bag won't hit him

Now he out here tryna catch a nigga slippin'

Get it how you live with how everybody keep tellin' him

Not even sixteen, damn near got three felonies

Dropped out of school and want shit but an attempt

And to make it worse he finna have a baby by trick

No guidance, thinkin' with his dick

Never had the OGs to tell him shit

Now the word around town he takin' hits

He came up in church like grimy as a git

[Chorus]

Hard times got these niggas doin' all day

Hard times will make a nigga do you broad day

Hard times have a nigga out here job huntin'

Hard times make a nigga wanna rob somethin'

Hard times will make a nigga shake somethin' down

Hard times will make a nigga spray somethin' down

Hard times got these lil' kids droppin' out

Hard times got these fake niggas plottin' now

[Verse 2]

Baby girl out here fuckin' grown niggas

Her daddy wasn't around now she want her own nigga

Her mamma always workin', she don't get along with her

Now she tryna get did right by the wrong nigga

He got the perfect plan he gon' hit the road with her

She thinkin' it's the perfect time to make her own pennies

But he ain't even goin' though he finna send his mans

And she ain't even know it that's when shit hit the fan

Car pulled over, officer say he smelled weed

Stripped the whole car found a thousand somethin' beans

But she ain't finna tell she gon' take it for the team

Give baby five years she wasn't shit but seventeen
