Hard Times in Riverside Lyrics by Indie Thot

Riverside

2012

[Intro: Indie Thot]
Life's tough
Ill be the first to admit that one
Especially in these times were going through right now
I can't get a job
I got a car
No gas
I guess all I really do have is my family and this music
But sometimes I ask myself
[Verse 1]
What do I write for?
What do I rap for?
I put my heart and soul in this but who even cares?
Will they even listen to it once I drop?
How many of these people will even put it on their iPod?
Honestly hope rap will take me to the tippy top
Cuz I don't wanna spend my life working a shitty job
I wanna get my girlfriend a nice pretty watch
And have a million fans of mine screaming out Indie Thot
I already got the lyrical advantage
Now I just gotta get a plan so I can get the cash in
Then I can manage to put my son in a good school
Have him looking up to his father like, all kids should do
And teach him all of the things that he should do
From tying shoes, to being smart to being humble
What do I write for?
What do I rap for?
You should know I do it all because I love you
[Hook]
Hard times in Riverside
Sometimes it's do or die
One foot in the grave
I'm trying to stay alive
Like fuck a 9 to 5
Only clock in when I'm trying to check the time (check the time!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
[Interlude]
And then I think about it
There's people who got it way worse then I do
Cuz it could be worse...right?
[Verse 2]
What do I write for?
What do I rap for?
My family isn't living poor
We always had a nice tv in our living room
We fight sometimes but we always still get along
I guess!
These past few years have been pretty stressing
Living in this recession is pretty fucking depressing
Bought a big house for 6K in '07
Now it's worth a lot less pray everyday for a blessing
Especially when your mother is living single
And child support checks stopped coming in I'm 19 now
On the job 24/7 meanwhile:
Shes trying to stop herself from going crazy and senile
She stay sane but conditions stay the same
See part of me wishes I could take blame
What do I write for?
What do I rap for?
I do it all so you don't have to feel the pain
[Hook]
Hard times in Riverside
Sometimes it's do or die
One foot in the grave
I'm trying to stay alive
Like fuck a 9 to 5
Only clock in when I'm trying to check the time (check the time!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
Hard times in Riverside (Riverside!)
[Outro]
And I know this shit'll work out
I can't explain how
I just feel it
Fin
