[Lyric] Times Is Hard (GRIP)

[Verse 1]
They don't seem to want me
But they won't admit, yeah
Thinkin' black on black
Strange creature out here havin' fits

[Verse 2]
Uh, everybody wanna know when the madness'll end
Whole world stagnant, bills staggerin' in (Hmm)
My first true love was a pad and a pen
It's through this tragedy I found the magic again (Oh yeah)
Okay, the 'rona got us fucked up
Economy crashing, niggas still droppin' trash, comedy rappin' (Hmm)
Scramblin' for my next meal and my wallet is lackin'
But I still manage to make this anomaly happen (Oh yeah)
Kobe died, I cried like that was my brother
We never even got the chance to meet, but I love ya (Hmm)
More green is what the tour was sure to bring
But that got postponed, and now we quarantined (Oh yeah)
I ain't the most known, so I needed that exposure
But I guess what I needed more was time with family, bring us closer (Hmm)
'Cause we already spent time and talked like we supposed to
This is s'posed to be our thing, la cosa nostra (Oh yeah)
This culture never give flowers where everything's kosher
But if somebody die, now everybody need closure (Hmm)
I chalk it up to human nature, we often feel like time on our side
And so we always say we'll do it later (Oh yeah)
We got it harder where we from
So you faced with doubt, then make it out in hours, let me borrow, give me some (Oh yeah)
And you made it the farthest, but you still barkin' it for crumbs
Words are sorrow from the slum in case tomorrow never come (Oh yeah)
In these hard times
[Chorus]
In this crazy town
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
Havin' hard times in this crazy town
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found

[Verse 2]
First Mac Miller died, and then we lost Nip
And niggas still want to hate on GRIP (Hmm)
Is it 'cause I didn't wait, and went for a bigger plate?
And put the game on ice like I figure skate? (Oh yeah)
You on the internet lurkin', it's my name you searchin'
Homies in your ear like "Boy, that nigga GRIP been workin'" (Hmm)
And you stuck so you talk slick behind them curtains
You know I'd slap the shit out you if I see you in person (Oh yeah)
So you just play it cool, 'cause that's the cheapest option
I'm watchin' over people, you niggas people watchin' (Hmm)
Fools is not woke, and everybody got jokes
He just started to pop and niggas popped Pop Smoke (Oh yeah)
My girl think I'm trippin' 'cause I keep my Glock close
Made a burner, cook a nigga like mama's pot roast (Oh yeah)
Hope we connected, otherwise, keep it steppin'
My uncle always told me "Nigga, you gon' need a weapon (Oh yeah)
In these hard times"

[Chorus]
In this crazy town
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
Havin' hard times in this crazy town
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found (Mmm)
Hard times (Mmm)
Hard times
[Verse 3]
From my party house, I feel like meetin' others
Familiar faces, creed and race, a brother
But to my surprise, I found another man corrupt
Although he be my brother, he wants to hold me up

[Chorus]
Havin' hard times in this crazy town
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
