Hard Times Don’t Last

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Sunup to sundown (Helluva made this beat, baby) On my motherfuckin' grind [Chorus] Hard times don't last forever (Nah) But a real nigga gon' last forever (Forever) Stay on your grind 'til times get better (Yeah) Stay on your grind and shine, my nigga (Uh) Them hard times made a man out me (Made a man out me) When I was broke, it made a man out me (Had to man up) Sleepin' on the floor, it made a man out me (Yeah) When I ain't have shit, it made a man out me [Verse 1] Them hard times made a man out me Now it ain't shit that they could say about mе Niggas laughed when I ain't have shit But I stayеd down and leveled up on every aspect I'm a stand-up nigga to the grave, homie Keep your mouth shut and get paid Ever been indicted? Ever been inside a raid? You ever lost a nigga that you be with every day? That shit crazy But I couldn't let it break a nigga Shit don't happen overnight, it might take a minute See you in the rust or shine, nigga, wait a minute Feds givin' niggas football digits, don't get it twisted Used to chop crack with a safety pin Sellin' three for twenty-fives, gettin' paper in Miss me with the bulllshit 'cause my patience thin Granny said, "If you gon' play the game, play to win," nigga, yeah [Chorus] Hard times don't last forever (Nah) But a real nigga gon' last forever (Forever) Stay on your grind 'til times get better (Yeah) Stay on your grind and shine, my nigga (Uh) Them hard times made a man out me (Made a man out me) When I was broke, it made a man out me (Had to man up) Sleepin' on the floor, it made a man out me (Yeah) When I ain't have shit, it made a man out me [Verse 2] Thinkin' back on it, I might shed tears When my nigga see the streets again, he gon' have grandkids My codefendant took a plea for nine years When my dog went to see the board, they told him try again Gucci shades on, tryna hide the pain So don't nobody see me, I cry in the rain This shit'll never be the same When they killed Soda for the watch, I bought a diamond chain Somebody said I got death on me Thirty pointers in the cross got me blessed, don't it? My nigga took his last breath on me Got me scared to take a shit without that strap on me, uh [Chorus] Hard times don't last forever (Nah) But a real nigga gon' last forever (Forever) Stay on your grind 'til times get better (Yeah) Stay on your grind and shine, my nigga (Uh) Them hard times made a man out me (Made a man out me) When I was broke, it made a man out me (Had to man up) Sleepin' on the floor, it made a man out me (Yeah) When I ain't have shit, it made a man out me
