Hard Times Lyrics by Alex Devon

NEW ENERGY

2019

[Chorus: Young L3X]
I would never break because of hard times
The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines
I would never fall because of hard times
Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine

[Verse One: Young L3X]
Trynna keep myself from going under
So, I wonder, rainy days I feel the thunder
All this hunger
Take you back when I was younger
Ambitious yea with many schemes
I might get a triple beam
I’m just trynna feel success
Before I get to feel my death
I been losing tolerance
The neighbors been up hollering
You been preaching hope
But the devils who you following
My city is a warzone
They shooting like its oracle
Maneuver to your spot
Then they shooting at your torso
Funerals they scare me
To death I won't be married
Ima stay with God
Til the day that I'm buried
Life ain’t no fairytale
I know my homies very well
Under pressure, under oath
I know my homies wouldn't tell
Let's go hit a lick, I just wanna feel rich
Lord forgive me for my sins
My patience running thin and I just wanna win
I just wanna win
Been losing to much please don't rub it in

[Chorus: Young L3X]
I would never break because of hard times
The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines
I would never fall because of hard times
Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine

[Verse Two: Young L3X}
Last night I cried tears as I stared at the same wall
I been watching for years, now I'm facing my fears
Pacing back and forth; watching my peers
I been working hard, getting no cheers
You on the throne, then I'm taking your chair
Stressing things that I can't control
I should take a seat and watch it unfold
I should relax but I carry a load
So I shot and then I reload
Close calls been to close, the devils doing the most
That’s not the way to go
Your losing your soul, your losing yourself
The darkness gon grow
And as the darkness starts to creep
You wanna reach a higher place by going underneath
I been feeling so low, I don’t know where to go
I been losing myself, I been losing control
I just wanted to live, just wanted to win
Just wanted to rise, you see the pain in my eyes

[Chorus: Young L3X]
I would never break because of hard times
The devil has no soul and he wants to get mines
I would never fall because of hard times
Even if I'm weak ima find a way to shine
