Hard Times

get this young peeps out on the streets 
sitting back getting high up in the clouds 
 
(Hook) 
I bust a nut in a rut 
cooking down at the Mickey D's 
cats with blue hats out on the street 
 
 
1st verse :
 
where it began I can't begin to wonder 
blowing up tracks like Stevie Wonder 
is it any wonder I got to much time on my hands 
 
son you were cursed the very day you were born 
daddy out selling stickers with the Mickey in the sleeve 
man this world outside just wants to see ya bleed 
as homeboy scratching on the fly spin master 
 
my heart is running faster 
a soul is in disorder until it meets order 
people need to be more open minded with all this talk 
going make me play that ass just don't want to 
 
(Hook) 
 
I bust a nut in a rut 
cooking down at Mickey D's 
cats with blue hats on the street 
 
2nd verse 
 
just like Muddy Waters you need to take a shower 
through the porch swing sippin honey tea 
knock me to my knees watch those suckas bleed 
like the famed Trick Daddy who escape gravity 
 
tripping like life is a rollercoaster don't have to bend over 
got holes in my socks 
man homeboy do think a lot 
it's almost paradise with words that are slamming 
 
just like soup to nut &I don't know where to put the jam in 
got to give it up soon but I'm still in motion 
just give me a moment while I chill on some magic potion
