Lyrics & Translation
English
Yeah-yeah, oh
So many hard times
Yea-yeah, oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah
Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare
People all around me and they're all in fear
They don't seem to want me but they won't admit
I must be some kind of creature up here having fits
From my party house, I'm afraid to come outside
Although I'm filled with love, I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride
So I play the part I feel they want of me
And I pull the shades so I won't see them seeing me
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In my party house I feel like meeting others
Familiar faces, creed and race, a brother
But to my surprise I find a man corrupt
Although he be my brother, he wants to hold me up
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Check it out, seventeen years and counting
Of tryna climb up the rough side of the mountain
Friends warned me I'mma have to do it without them
No problem really, it was never about them
So my house, I never come out from
'Cause every day a drought, then a shadow of doubt come
I'm down to do whatever if it betters my outcome
The city's like the Audubon Ballroom waiting on Malcolm
'Cause people wanna see my blood flow like fountains
I got nowhere to go and still feel like bouncing
I'm looking for the closest window I can rap from
Or for the highest speaker box that I can shout from
And I'm hoping to feel like something is real
But it's no hope when you are but a spoke in a wheel
A brick in a wall, tryna find an opening still
Having hard times, tryna climb over the hill
Yeah, so many hard times, yeah, yeah
Sleeping on motel floors, yeah, yeah
Knocking on my brother's door
Eating Spam, Oreos
Drinking Thunderbird baby, yeah
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Having hard times, in this crazy town
Having hard times, there's no love to be found
Yea-yeah, yea-yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, mm, yeah, yeah
So many hard times, yeah, yeah
Sleeping on motel floors, yeah, yeah
Knocking on my brother's door
Eating Spam and Oreos
Drinking Thunderbird baby, oh, yeah
I don't wanna do it no more
No-no-no, no-no
I don't wanna go back there no more
No-oh
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

Hard Times (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sí-sí, oh
Tantos tiempos difíciles
Sí-sí, oh
Sí-sí-sí-sí, sí-sí
Sí, sí-sí
Sí
Ojos fríos, fríos me miran fijamente
Gente a mi alrededor y todos tienen miedo
No parecen quererme pero no lo admitirán
Debo ser algún tipo de criatura aquí arriba teniendo ataques
Desde mi casa de fiesta, tengo miedo de salir
Aunque estoy lleno de amor, temo que hieran mi orgullo
Así que interpreto el papel que siento que quieren de mí
Y bajo las persianas para no verlos viéndome
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Sí, sí, sí
En mi casa de fiesta siento ganas de conocer a otros
Caras conocidas, credo y raza, un hermano
Pero para mi sorpresa encuentro a un hombre corrupto
Aunque sea mi hermano, quiere retenerme
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Échale un vistazo, diecisiete años y contando
De intentar escalar el lado áspero de la montaña
Amigos me advirtieron que tendría que hacerlo sin ellos
En realidad no hay problema, nunca se trató de ellos
Así que de mi casa, nunca salgo
Porque cada día una sequía, luego una sombra de duda viene
Estoy dispuesto a hacer lo que sea si mejora mi resultado
La ciudad es como el Audubon Ballroom esperando a Malcolm
Porque la gente quiere ver mi sangre fluir como fuentes
No tengo adónde ir y todavía tengo ganas de rebotar
Busco la ventana más cercana desde la que pueda rapear
O la caja de altavoces más alta desde la que pueda gritar
Y espero sentir que algo es real
Pero no hay esperanza cuando eres solo un rayo en una rueda
Un ladrillo en una pared, intentando encontrar una abertura todavía
Pasando tiempos difíciles, intentando escalar la colina
Sí, tantos tiempos difíciles, sí, sí
Durmiendo en suelos de motel, sí, sí
Llamando a la puerta de mi hermano
Comiendo Spam, Oreos
Bebiendo Thunderbird, nena, sí
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Pasando tiempos difíciles, en esta ciudad loca
Pasando tiempos difíciles, no hay amor que encontrar
Sí-sí, sí-sí, sí
Sí, sí, sí, sí
Sí, mm, sí, sí
Tantos tiempos difíciles, sí, sí
Durmiendo en suelos de motel, sí, sí
Llamando a la puerta de mi hermano
Comiendo Spam y Oreos
Bebiendo Thunderbird, nena, oh, sí
No quiero hacerlo más
No-no-no, no-no
No quiero volver allí más
No-oh
No quiero, no quiero, no quiero, no quiero
