bishop brigante - hard times lyrics

worldwide. brigante

[first verse]
picture the scenery a young buck, running the streets
gun tucked an attitude like “who want it with me?”
who dabbles in crack, quick to put you flat on your back
look around, he’s just a product of his own habitat
picture a young chick mini skirt, flirting with boys
her pops is a drunk he’s always making up noise
and she’s trying to find love but mommas high on the couch
so she hits the staircase and let’s you try out here mouth
picture a grown ass man, looks and talking funny
too much drugs in his blood got him walking funny
he might’ve been a star with a mansion and cars
cause every night he’s playing hard on his rusty guitar
picture you walking thru a mall, 23 years old
and getting stopped by the cops cause of your features & clothes
you try to ignore it but you know that you can’t
cause everybody’s holding their breath when you walk in the bank
picture that

[hook]
picture you now picture me
the sun still shines but i can’t see
is everything good that’s in your life?
imagine life in the hood
now picture when they look at me
like this is where i want to be
some of them think that its alright
they don’t know
[second verse]
picture having a baby child, being a child yourself
with no mother and no father to provide you with help
and you & your lover can’t seem to get things right
so you fight, and take away they visiting rights
picture not finishing school, selling drugs to get by
and putting food on the table so the youngins don’t cry
and daddy can’t help cause he’s locked in a cell
ya momma’s real sick so you’re watching her health
picture not telling the truth about your man to your mother
cause she was raised the wrong way and only judges by colour
you know if you bring him home she won’t condone
but you believe in you love so you run away from home
picture working a strip club selling fantasy love
and showing your naked body to every man in the club
you’re taking a cab home, falling asleep cause it’s late
but a customer followed you, now you’re a victim of rape
picture that

[hook]
picture you now picture me
the sun still shines but i can’t see
is everything good that’s in your life?
imagine life in the hood
now picture when they look at me
like this is where i want to be
some of them think that its alright
they don’t know
[third verse]
picture a cop telling you, that you fit the description
picture catching a disease and living with prescription
picture everybody saying they don’t believe in your dream
picture you best friend getting shot because of some cream
picture, not getting a date cause your body’s over weight
picture living in a city where there’s nothing but hate
picture no one to talk to about your pain
picture sleeping outside with no shelter from the rain
picture being so high that you murder your child
picture getting smacked in the mouth because they thought you lied
picture watching you parents fight, and your mom with a bruise
picture having s+x too early cause you’re being abused
picture being back stabbed, picture life in a cell
picture being so scared that you can’t even yell
picture running so fast, screaming out to the skies
picture believing in love. so much that you cry
picture that
