Hard Time Hustlin' Lyrics - Thug On Da Line - Krayzie Bone

We hard time, hard time hustlin', hustlin' 

We hard time, hard time hustlin', hustlin' 

We hard time, hard time hustlin', hustlin' 

We hard time, hard time hustlin', hustlin' 

Mama been laid off, she ain't workin' no mo' 

Papa been laid off, he say things done got slow 

My brother's been laid off, he been locked down 

For more than two years now 

My world is crumblin', time is hard they were before 

But, oh, my God, mama mad at pops 'cause he ain't workin' 

But today she lost her job, now what in the fuck 

Is we suppose to do? We on our last loaf of bread 

Got cereal, but no milk, Kool-Aid, no sugar, what the hell? 

And here come Mr. Bill collector beatin' down our door for dough 

Mama say when they come knockin' 

Y'all don't say nothin', shh, get on the floor

Modern Love: The Best Top 40 Love Songs For Valentine's Day 

Kind of hard to see at night 

In a house when it ain't got no lights and shit 

No gas or water, had to borrow H20 from my relative 

Man, it feels like I ain't even here 

I'm ready to get up and get all my own 

But I got three more fuckin' years 

Nigga 15, with a big dream to make it on out this ghetto 

But the devil won't settle, fuckin' up my levels, he won't let go 

I'm livin' to die, it seems I just can't win 

Now I'm high but I'm stoppin' to realize I drunk this whole fifth of Gin 

(Nigga damn) 

I'm 17 and drinkin' like I'm grown up 

I got some problems, plus I need some money 

And it's really all because 

Mama been laid off, she ain't workin' no mo' 

Papa been laid off, he say things done got slow 

My brother's been laid off, he been locked down 

For more than two years now

Juvenile nigga, done strugglin', hustlin', strugglin' like I want it 

Then fuck school, right now I'm hungry 

And I can't eat that damn diploma 

But on this corner I can eat everyday, all I gotta do is slang this yay 

Nigga, if business keep going this way me 

And my family is fin to be straight 

I'm glad I took that fifty dollars that grandma gave me 

Bought me a double up, now it's all about comin' up 

I'ma pay ya back next week, repeat 

Took my ass straight to the block with hand full of rocks 

Y'all and it's my first time I'm lowin', watchin' for cop cars 

By the end of the night a nigga sold all the rocks 

I'm trippin' out lookin' at all the dough I got 

I shoulda been came a sold the block and locked it 

Made me some profits, so nigga tonight 

My people gonna be eatin' on lobster 

Hate to say it but I think these streets done really created a monster 

'Cause now that I see how quick I can come about breakin' the law 

Why in the hell is you steady tellin' me to go and get a job? 

Fuck that, nigga, this my thing right now I know 

I'm walkin' home happy, smilin' and I ain't even thinkin' about 

Mama been laid off, she ain't workin' no mo' 

Papa been laid off, he say things done got slow 

My brother's been laid off, he been locked down 

For more than two years now 

Mama been laid off, she ain't workin' no mo' 

Papa been laid off, he say things done got slow 

My brother's been laid off, he been locked down 

For more than two years now 

Business was boomin' so a nigga assuming I could do some improving 

Like new jewels, clothes, shoes, Cadillac Coupe, I'm out here doin' it 

Got me a cold ass broad and that's something I never had 

But I'm never mad 'cause I done snagged one bad 

One with my young ass, once I turned 18 it was on 

But my brother started writing home, tellin' me to leave this shit alone 

I say, what? Nigga, he don't know that I'm too deep in this 

I'm livin' and breathin' the street shit 

And if I don't play the crook, you ain't gonna have shit on your books 

Look, gimme a minute, I'll chill in a minute, I promise I will 

As soon as I finished this last load, I'ma drop the dice after this last roll 

Little did he know, I got no intentions on leavin' this shit here 

I'm feelin' to get rich here 

When you get out, you'll have some shit here if you still care 

Made enough money to move my moms and pops to a new pad 

They was suspicious but they ain't trippin' 

'Cause this more shit than we ever had 

But shit went bad, six in the morning 

Crashing through my door was the Feds 

And they want that bread, we want you and I'm like ooh, shit 

Shoulda listened to my brother, huh? But I'm like fuck it now 

Mama got to buggin' out when them po, po got to cuffin' pops 

Now I'm in the courtroom when that asked me how I plea 

I tell the judge straight up, I've been havin' problems 

And it's all because 

Mama been laid off, she ain't workin' no mo' 

Papa been laid off, he say things done got slow 

My brother's been laid off, he been locked down 

For more than two years now 

Mama been laid off, she ain't workin' no mo' 

Papa been laid off, he say things done got slow 

My brother's been laid off, he been locked down 

For more than two years now 

Mama been laid off, she ain't workin' no mo' 

Papa been laid off, he say things done got slow 

My brother's been laid off, he been locked down 

For more than two years now
