The Vanrays - Hard Times (single 2022)

HARD TIMES

When time is pulling daggers and trying to cause you pain,

You got to turn the knife around on it, control it once again

When the wolves are at your back door, and your backs against the wall,

Got to breathe, got to believe baby and all your fears will fall

Bother hard times- don’t let them get you down

Brother hard times- you can turn your life around

When you open up your wallet and you aint got no pay,

You can barely make it baby, hand to mouth most everyday

And it seems you’re moving backwards, got to turn yourself around,

Don’t run from it, face up to it to what they’re putting down

Brother Hard times- don’t let them get you down

Brother Hard times- got to turn that shit around

don’t let the hard times get you down girl  - It’s all a state of mind

Don’t let the hard times get you down girl - Got to leave it all behind

When the ghosts from your past are closing in on you and

They’re trying to steal your soul away and you don’t know what to do

There’s nothing in your cupboards cause you aint got no bread

It may be fucked but listen up, listen to the words I said

Brother hard times- don’t let them get you down

Brother - hard times- you can turn your life around 

Brother hard times- don’t let them get you down

Brother - hard times- got to turn your life around
