Verse 1: Life can be tough, that's just the way it goes Sometimes it feels like we're stuck in endless lows Money's tight, bills piling up high Got no idea how to make ends meet, don't know why Chorus: Hard times, they're here to stay But we gotta keep pushing, find a way To rise above, and reach for the sky One day we'll look back and wonder why Verse 2: Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months Seems like we're stuck in a never-ending hunt For a way out, for some kind of relief But the struggle just goes on, it's beyond belief Chorus: Hard times, they're here to stay But we gotta keep pushing, find a way To rise above, and reach for the sky One day we'll look back and wonder why Verse 3: But we can't give up, can't let it get us down Gotta keep fighting, gotta wear that crown Of a survivor, of a true warrior We'll come out on top, that's our story, yeah Chorus: Hard times, they're here to stay But we gotta keep pushing, find a way To rise above, and reach for the sky One day we'll look back and wonder why Outro: So don't you quit, don't you ever give in Hard times may come, but they won't win We'll keep on moving, keep on grinding Till we reach the top, it's all about timing.
