CHILD HOOD
♪
(Yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Yeah-yeah-yeah)(Yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Ey-ey)
Yeah I know about the hard times
(the hard times)(the hard times)
Stay strong and don't cry
(Don't cry)(Don't c-r-y)
Yeah I know about the hard times
(the hard times)(the hard times)
(And I know it gets b-e-t-t-e-r)(I know it gets b-e-t-t-e-r than this)
I'm a pickaninny the alkebulan's child
I grew up in a middle class home as a child
This music shit just runs in my blood
I don't have to think I just speak my mind
I grew up on dusty gravel roads
Me and my peers use to drive bricks
Go to nearest sewerage just to catch crabs
Playing father and mother games with the girls
When it's windy out side we go play kites
It's a regular day we play Mable games
I remember nice times like summer times
Playing with water as kids, our faces filled with smile's (Hehh!)
My grandma use to cook me umdoko
There were times la sidlala amatopo
I 4 room ne di beke,I Gqum size,ama teen,I one Pali,umgusha ney'ngedo
Yeah I know about the hard times

1550 born and raised
We tryna make it out the cage
Hard times made me God done saved me
Took those L's and I almost went crazy
Niggas make it out but they always come back
That's another reason why I never relax
Thinking about the days when we never had shit
I was always in streets tryna get up to a sack(ohh no no!)
Baby baby go low go low
We'll come out on top(I know! I know!)
Baby baby go low go low
You know it was bad at the bottom for sure
Baby baby go low go low
We'll come out on top(I know! I know!)
Baby baby(go low go low!)
(go low go low!)(L-O-W!)
Yeah I know about the hard times
