Layne Jazzey - Tough Times lyrics
[Verse 1: Layne Jazzey] It's 2000 and i'm still nine Story of my life I knew nothing as i was a child Tears dripping off my mama eyes Pops wanna leave the house I remember when my mama cried I'm sure she just wanted to die She lost her man over lies Marriage ended overnight Cause all he wanted was to fight She never did nothing right All he did was criticize Even when she compromised Even when she sacrificed Mama was forever nice Well, good luck to his new wife [Chorus: Reggie] 2x Everything i went through Thanks to Messiah I am so Grateful That was really tough life Thanks to Messiah we survived The tough times [Verse 2: Layne Jazzey] It's 02' and we still bruised No pocket money when i go to School Mommy hustling tryna buy food Them neighbors laughing but It's nothing new I'm sure they had nothing to do You know it's funny when it's Not you Experiencing what we went through Eight children in the family Mommy feeding every single kid She never gave up any kid For adoption or for money schemes She stood up on her own feet And she made a soldier outta me My sisters and my brother Tip I pray that he pa** metric And go to university [Chorus: Reggie] 2x Everything i went through Thanks to Messiah I am so Grateful That was really tough life Thanks to Messiah we survived The tough times [Verse 3: Layne Jazzey] Fast forward to 011' Big brother got a job Wow!! Big sister already working now All the rumors calmed down New friends came around Relatives coming out Pops started showing up Pops started calling us Thinking we forgot about Mom's pain when she was espoused I will always love my moms Already forgave pops We gotta love one another Shout out to my other brothers B-man and T.K You know we'll always be great We can never live without each other But we can live without gadgets You know we never had a PC It was gonna put mommy over budget Now we eat KFC buckets No more chicken feet bro's Refrigerator full of Braai Wors And that's something they already know [Chorus: Reggie] 2X THE END!!!
