I remember nights thinking days like this didn't exist Especially for someone with this color skin See I looked at how my momma struggled looking just like them But every hood got a Kesha That can barely pay her bills Our story ain't no different, four kids, different niggas And they don't know nothing to do with their children Got tired of having less, so I started taking more Ay cuz it ain't locked shit, open up the door Man, what the f*ck they got that brand new Carter two And I just stole a walkman so I can bump this shit to school Lemme grab this lil change for the mason jar just tucked away Cause grand daddy said pennies Gotta make dollars one day, And he in lying playing spades man, I dumped the sock They used to clown me for Abraham, but he changed a lot Now I ain't got to call Tay to switch shoes in the parking lot Envied that nigga cause he had designer and his pops I know hard times gon' come someday, yeah, yeah, yeah And I know it's hard to keep your faith, yeah, yeah, yeah But through those dark clouds the sun gon' shine Keep your poker face, your smile Keep your head up, don't hold it down, no, no, no If I wasn't next to Danielle, I was sleeping in the car Or laying on the hood looking Up at the stars Parked in Faye's front yard, when I knew she was a sleep Her baby boy but I didn't want her worried about me Cause me and my mama had beef, and I ain't had nowhere to sleep Remember nights running out of gas so I could have heat Now a nigga hotter than Satan in the summer with a fever Married to the baddest diva with private islands for our leisure Look, one mill ain't enough Need a meal for every day I ain't eat it if it wasn't school lunch We were down bad, on our luck And if you judge a book by its cover, you couldn't see we had it rough Back then I felt like money was a myth Cause we ain't never have it so I thought it didn't exist Now a rose gold presidential compliment my wrist, And I ain't trying to brag, I say that to say this I know hard times gon' come someday, yeah, yeah, yeah And I know it's hard to keep your faith, yeah, yeah, yeah But through those dark clouds the sun gon' shine Keep your poker face, your smile Keep your head up, don't hold it down, no, no, no
