Times Are Hard

Times are hard, I'm not sure I want to be here anymore I don't want to fight, but we need to be prepared for war People should be scared of the fact I haven't felt fear before Times are hard, I'm not sure I want to be here anymore I'm trying to spread love in a world of hate Turn on the news, i'm seeing kids getting murdered and girls getting raped Someone tell me why a 6 year old had cancer and went to the pearly gates? Just hearing about him dying really hurt me today People carrying knives, it doesn't take a big man to pick up a knife and use it Anyone can do that, but i have a Brain and i decide to use it The ink is bleeding as i express my hurt and my rage To a lot of people this is nothing but Words on a page Maybe I word things wrong because I didn't go to college I embrace everything, there's nothing I won't acknowledge I need a weak moment, I'm tired of having to be strong Part of me, wants to take this cash and place it in a strippers thong Knowing my luck, the ex I miss would call as I'm getting a lap dance She'd get mad, despite us no longer being together I'd find hope in the fact she called and ask for a last chance Even in my weak moment, I'm still stronger than ever I've been held back by things I couldn't move past The type to face every road block instead of finding a new path In order to grow, sometimes you need to lose what you hold valuable But be wise enough to know you won't get over it by drinking a cold Malibu Times are hard, I'm not sure I want to be here anymore I don't want to fight, but we need to be prepared for war People should be scared of the fact I haven't felt fear before Times are hard, I'm not sure I want to be here anymore
