Jae Prophecy - When Times Get Hard

Yeah I said
When times get hard
You gotta grind harder
You reach success they in your pocket
Like the Godfather
But you can't please 'em all my homie
Why bother
I'm droppin' knowledge now
Cause I done got a lot smarter
Evolution yeah I let the money change me
My resolution in the bigger picture's HD
I want the most success I can get
Out of fame's reach
Ironic everything I made is what made me

Started from the bottom now we here
But this ain't just a catchy song
Bro it's really what I'm on
I gave up college education in a year
In class smellin' like the strong
Tellin' teachers it's cologne
I was scared to make a change
And face my fears
For me it took a lil' long
But now I'm really on my grown
It took a minute for me
To switch up them gears
Cause when you really on your own
You feel like you can't do no wrong
A new perspective
Its hard to get in check with
When you livin' reckless
New direction it's harder
To detect it when livin' hectic
When you too plain (Two plane)
Everything crumbles like 9-11
The fast lane make each hour
Feel like 60 seconds
Time fast forwards
I'm swervin' on 'em now
Cause I was on a crash course
I was down bad
Bank shot like a back board
I learned positivity
Get's you anything you ask for
Livin' like a black God
Moments seem to drag on
Leave 'em all on hold like FEMA
No passport I'm so fly
You have no idea (ID ya)
My wife the bomb it ain't a secret
She nothing like Korea
And I'ma give her catalog
Cause I'm so IKEA
That's off topic
But that's cause my mind
In a new dimension
She's the apple of my eye
And the object of my affection
If she's Eve then I'm Adam (@ em)
I gotta give her a mention
Every song cause she finally
Guided me out that prison
Through the hard times
She put in work around the clock
And never part time
And they say greed is a sin
Yet she all mine
My guiding light
The perfect balance to my dark side
And through the hard times
We had to balance our connection
And stay online
No URL Smack in the middle
Never called time
Cause we can't get caught
In the WEB with all of y'all lies
I had to distance myself
From y'all like apartheid

Yeah I said
When times get hard
You gotta grind harder
You reach success
They in your pocket
Like the Godfather
But you can't please 'em all my homie
Why bother
I'm droppin' knowledge now
Cause I done got a lot smarter
Evolution yeah I let the money change me
My resolution in the bigger picture's HD
I want the most success I can get
Out of fames reach
Ironic everything I made is what made me

Ayo I wrote this for the younger me
And I apologize
For all the broken dreams
I sold you all kind of lies
A couple of memories you dramatically
Wish you dramatized
Like moms not lookin at you
Cause you been cursed
With your father's eyes
I remember comin' up as a rookie
Coach put you in the game
And all your morals start to change
He said there ain't no 'I' in team
And that shook me
But there's 12 players on this team
And only one gon' win this game
That's when I started to realize
That it could be
More to life than stayin' in a lane
And see that moral is the same
When I said I'd never kill
Unless you push me, right?
And then I went and joined a gang
See certain positions leave you
Conditioned to make decisions
And it's hard to break the system
When living in repetition
You faced with that Denny's menu
And stuck with a split decision
No minutes for intermission
Gettin' Do' (dough) like Homer Simpson
We livin' In a era
Where the righteous get stuck
Where the government
Cause commotion then be hypin' it up
To distract us from all the griminess
They be hidin' from us
America's Pie
We all want our slice from the crust
You got homies that joined the war
To fight for Obama
And AWOL two terms later
They ain't fightin for Trump
One day you gon' be morally aware
Of what's more of the problem
And realize you shoulda been
Livin' right from the jump

Yeah I said
When times get hard
You gotta grind harder
You reach success
They in your pocket
Like the Godfather
But you can't please em' all my homie
Why bother
I'm droppin knowledge now
Cause I done got a lot smarter
Evolution yeah I let the money change me
My resolution
In the bigger picture's HD
I want the most success I can get
Out of fames reach
Ironic everything I made is what made me
