Tough Times

Lyrics

Oh god Tell me why you make your children struggle Oh god Tell me why you make your children struggle "When you're up against a trouble Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders Plant your feet and take a brace." Pops always used to tell us that Never knew it would make this kinda impact Times are gettin tough for me Hell, times are gettin tough for everybody Don't know how i even got enough food in my body to make it from sunday to friday Living day to day Payday don't even feel like payday Strugglin Moms always fought her hardest so we never had to meet its face So we'd never have to feel it's cold embrace Never ever wanted us to ever have a taste Of that lifestyle Isn't that wild Says she's so proud Of her son, wow I don't know how She can even form her mouth To say somethin to crazy Maybe, she's hazy From all them fuckin hours Of breakin her back To put food on the table Down on her knees praying She keep this table stable Praying she can make it one more day Praying these tough times fade away Oh god Tell me why you make your children struggle Oh god Tell me why you make your children struggle Now i'm on my knees asking why Why someone as faithful as my momma Still has days that make her cry Why she still has to fight for her life day and night I may never ever know why God may never open my eyes As to why she still has tough times Man fuck these tough times I'm begging to you god Show us some mercy for goodness sake I'm begging to you god How much do you think we can take Do you want us to break These truths i can't fake Do you want us to break My little faith is shaking I know you work in mysterious ways Know all things come together at the end of the day I know you won't leave us out here to Your love is sweet like chocolate cake I know you'll save the day I know you'll make these tough times fade away Oh god Tell me why you make your children struggle Oh god Tell me why you make your children struggle
