lyrics

BABY’S BREAD (Hard Times)

Hard times, living in hard times
Hear my mama say… Got no baby's bread
We're livin in hard times, It's a hard time
Hear my mama said… Ain't got no baby's bread

Living these times living day by day / Automatic hustle nothing seems to change / Doin our best but it doesn't seem to matter cause we let the lie deceive us thinkin money's what we're after / And it's eye for eye, me for mine / One against the other like the end of all times / Crying "Why, why why, baby?" all the way home / Hard to flip the script when you always feel alone / Held hostage in the mind, working that grind / Two steps forward always feeling far behind / Getting played by the game, always searching for a sign / Remember it's the darkest just before the morning light / Keep your head held high mama / Baby gonna be just fine, promise. / You'll make it to the other side cause this new day's in full sight.

Listen and I'll tell ya bout the hard times / Wallet's so slim can't afford a rhyme / Sistas in rehab, bros in the slammer / Looking like royalty in dollar store glamour / Rub two sticks and make a fire / Toss two donuts in the street - call it a car /Bills ain't paid n thermostat's broke / Duck tape shoes and sack for a coat / Bum drinkin bad whiskey under a bridge /College degree didn't help 'im a smidge / Mama's in the kitchen, baby's in the back / Daddy's in the basement working hard on tracks / Roaches so big gotta share yr sandwich / Can't afford school, don't speak the language / Busted again gotta pay the fine / Take a seat n relax it's just a hard time /
Life, love, pursuit of happiness / Can't see goals thru the hard time thick mist / Baby's reaching out for the bread so warm / Mama's cryin too cuz she's hungry and torn / The Beatles sang can't buy me love / But that's ok with love we're flush / Baby just want a job and some food / Beg for a dollar ain't tryna b rude / One for the money two for the show / Three get ya hands up for the cray po-po / All around the world the bees makin honey / And I touched your thigh - to me that's the money / Life, love, pursuit of happiness / You an me together in the hard times mess / Life, love, pursuit of happiness / You an me together and I feel so blessed /

It's hard times...
