Talkin’ to my neighbors, listenin’ to my friends
Everybody’s hurtin’, when’s it gonna end
Hard times, I'm talkin’ ‘bout hard times
If it wasn’t for my woman I believe I’d lose my mind

Prices goin’ up down at the dollar store
Things we used to buy we can’t buy no more
Hard times, I'm talkin’ ‘bout hard times
If it wasn’t for my woman I think I’d lose my mind

Children of the future better find a better way
Doomsday’s ‘round the corner, gonna be some hell to pay
Hard times, I'm talkin’ ‘bout in hard times
If it wasn’t for my baby I believe I’d lose my mind
