[Chorus: Nate Good & Nic D]
Tough times that keep you honest
Good friends who wish you well
Back then when they didn't know my name
I hit the switch for real
Lights on, now can't you see me?
Dark times are hard as Hell
Keep goin', for once, who need me? (Ey)
Yeah, keep goin' for myself (Uh, ey)
[Verse 1: Nic D]
She wanna be like Beyonce, crazy in love
I wanna be like Lebron James, not layin' it up
Wanna be like the clothes on the floor, not hangin' it up
I wanna be like the sunshine, I brighten you up
Used to have a couple scrеws loose, tighten them up
Can't lеt them put me in a bad mood, lighten it up
Little sum like a barber shop, I'm linin' them up
I'll take you, and you, and you, and him, and all of them, yeah
Thought he quit, well, you're wrong again
When he feelin' like the world, it belongs to him
Then he went out and got triple what they saw in him
There ain't a hurdle in the world that he ain't conquerin'
It goes
[Chorus: Nate Good, Nic D, Both]
Tough times that keep you honest (Always)
Good friends who wish you well (Wish you well)
Back then when they didn't know my name
I hit the switch for real (Hit the switch for real)
Lights on, now can't you see me? (Hit the switch for real)
Dark times are hard as Hell (Hit the switch for real)
Keep goin', for once, who need me?
Yeah, keep goin' for myself
[Verse 2: Nate Good]
Yeah, Nic, tell them I'm underrated
Never mind, let me say it
I'm underrated
Can't you see I got the juice when I'm concentrated?
Can't you see this ain't a spoof, I'm just bein' real?
Broke the lock off the lot, that's a Key and Peele
Enough of the jokes, enough of you blokes
The giant awoke, the bear has been poked
I think you maybe got a hole in your boat
It barely afloat, preparin' to row
But not over here, I'm rarin' to go
Eh, eh, ehm
Please, in the back of the class
I used to make straight C's, now I'm seein' a bag
You can see me head high in a sea of giraffes
I'm gon' get the last laugh, I'm just better than that, eh
[Pre-Chorus: Both & Nic D]
Come back when I lost ground
Stayed up with the cards down, yeah
Stand tall when it falls down, 'cause
'Cause I, I poured my heart out
[Chorus: Both]
Tough times that keep you honest
Good friends who wish you well
Back then when they didn't know my name
I hit the switch for real
Lights on, now can't you see me?
Dark times are hard as Hell
Keep goin', for once, who need me?
Yeah, keep goin' for myself
[Post-Chorus: Nic D]
Lemme get a-
For a job well done
And a-
'Cause the hard work pays
And a-
'Cause I'm still on one
And a-
We made it through the hard days
It goes
[Chorus: Both & Nic D]
Tough times that keep you honest
Good friends who wish you well
Back then when they didn't know my name
I hit the switch
I hit the switch
Lights on, now can't you see me? (Hit the switch for real)
Dark times are hard as Hell (Hit the switch for real)
Keep goin', for once, who need me?
Yeah, keep goin' for myself
[Outro: Nic D]
Yeah, what up, Nate?
Life crazy, ain't it?
It's crazy, that crazy, everything crazy
It's good though
Real good
