Hard Times (12" Version)

Yo Kurt, man, you got some bank?

Yo, my brother, I ain't really got it like that

What we got here is hard times

I hear you, brother, but what's up with that?

Hard times spreading just like the flu

You know I caught it just like you

The prices going up, the dollar's down

You got me fallin' to the ground

Turn around, get ready, check out the time

Get ready all people for the future shock

Hard times (Hard times)

Hard times (Hard times)

To the bridge

Get funky!

Hard times, people of the planet

Times are tough, tough is granted

Hard times coming to your town

Get ready 'cause you know we're gonna throw down

I'm gonna go out there and get a skill

My life's been down and I need a thrill

Hard times (Hard times)

Hard times (Hard times)

To the bridge

Sucka! Better watch that!

Hard times's got my pockets all in change

I tell ya what, it don't have my brains

Will I ever-ever-ever reach my peak

We need that dollar every day of the week

Hard times you know, it's a natural trip

I'm gonna keep about it, so we'll not slip

Hard times (Hard times)

Hard times (Hard times)

To the bridge

Hold now!

Hard times is nothing new or mean

I'm gonna use my strong mentality

Like the cream of the crop and the crop of the cream

Beating hard times, that is my dream

Hard times in life, hard times in death

I'm gonna keep on fighting till my very last breath

Hard times (Hard times)

Hard times (Hard times)

To the bridge

Get down!

Hard times is nothing new or mean

I'm gonna use my strong mentality

Like the cream of the crop and the crop of the cream

Beating hard times, that is my dream

Hard times in life, hard times in death

I'm gonna keep on fighting till my very last breath

Hard times (Hard times)

Hard times (Hard times)

To the bridge

Uh! So funky! Yea baby
