The Hardest Times

I didn't know I would go to jail that day
It's the game just hoped it didn't play dat way
On my grind it was the hardest times
See I was broke I was tryna get money
Tryna support the kids and my honey
On my grind it was the hardest times
Reminiscing now I'm missin my family
And I know my sons is missin their daddy
The hardest times these is the hardest times
Locked up and I'm missin my homies
In a box I'm feelin real lonely
Hardest times these is the hardest times

I was just tryna make it like any other day
Was on my last couple dollars is all I made today
My baby need some diapers plus he need some kicks
And I lost my job shit I started selling brick
My girl on my back what was I supposed to do
Felt like less of a man cause of what we was goin though
The refrigerator was full yea but the rent was due
She said dat she would sale them stamps cuz I ain't pullin through
Told me I had to get some money I ain't know what to do
I told her say know more and you know I got you boo
I had to hit a lick determined to make a dollar
Your best bet is give it up don't listen I might have to pop you
See I was on my grind these had to be the hardest times
I had to get some money wasn't talkin nicks and dimes
See I love my family in that special way
Just didn't know that on that day I would get took away

I didn't know I would go to jail that day
It's the game just hoped it didn't play dat way
On my grind it was the hardest times
See I was broke I was tryna get money
Tryna support the kids and my honey
On my grind it was the hardest times
Reminiscing now I'm missin my family
And I know my sons is missin there daddy
The hardest times these is the hardest times
Locked up and I'm missin my homies
In a box I'm feelin real lonely
Hardest times these is the hardest times
I couldn't shake the feelin cause see it hurted my pride
Sometimes I woke up smiling just to cover my cries
I tried to stay strong but knew I was livin a lie
Cause when it came to my kids it would kill me inside
