Times are hard and getting rougher Could never understand why my family had to suffer May be it's because we're not as fortunate as others At least we've got each other, and we can rely on one another Working hard just to make ands meet Through good and bad we refused to accept defeat Trying to give us what they never could have Not a day goes by that we don't thank god for what we have Times are hard but getting better We paid our dues but money doesn't last forever Maybe it's because the money doesn't always matter At least we have each other and we can rely on another I thank my family for everything that was given to me Being there no matter what, even willing to die for me They're not at fault if I'm not as good as I'm supposed to be They did their part and now it's all up to me I thank god and all my family Did their best and now it's up to me
