ASher Roth - Hard Times Lyrics
[Hook:]My mother told me never to tell, a dirty old lieMy mother told me never to sell, and just to get by[Verse 1: Asher Roth]It's been a long damn summerAnd I've been working by the furnace, fire burningAn inferno with a purpose, feeling like I don't deserve thisLike I've been cursed, I don't need your sympathyAlthough I know you know it hurts - it ain't perfectLife's not no nursery rhymeIt's as much of a blur as it is our whole lifetimeAnd that's fine, I'm a ride with it, take my time with itNever underestimate the power of the blindnessYes, your highness. Follow your instinctsFingerprints ain't always gonna match the logisticsLittle bit different, it isn't yet typicalWon't always do to others what you wish was reciprocalMy brothers and sisters all the way out there in LiverpoolI feel you a hundred numbers [?]Don't ever fall in love, cum in somebody's number twoYou may call it dumb but trueYou know that we're coming for you: mama said[Hook][Verse 2: These Days]Lord knows I take my secrets to the graveTil I'm in a crown, I'm on my own twoComing straight from a chunk of cave moneyKing Kong crew. Swimmin in the river with a stone shoeBut I be in that ***** still kicking, I'll teach you kung-fuShow and prove, the whole team be on the same pageNiggas telling me I'm their idol and we the same ageWhile back, it wasn't nothing in my mind but stay in placeNow picking *****es, calling options like I'm sayin playsTake a picture mayne, I'm on some magazine spread shitHold the mic tight, I got that rigamortis you dead quickGot some good brain on the road, I'd say head trip***** her face and bust on her mouth: call her lead lipI'm the baker, I make the bread flipNiggas be wyling but you could talk like it's crackinTo get your eggs splitShells drop and it's an everyday thangIt's a shame, but it's all a part of the game...[Hook][Verse 3: Casie Veggies]Young boss, new dreamsFresh shoes, new jeansTell me what do you see?Why you tryna do me?So I had to find out, now you can't find meRemember three years ago? Like "why you can't sign me? "Thoughts in my mind, I can do all that times threeI grew up [?] young'un like "nevermind me"4 '93, good time to find where my mind beNow I tell time with gold time (peace)My mama told me grind...[Hook]
