Hard Times - DMX Krew

Walking in the dark, it’s A cold night

I get the feeling that the time’s right!

I’m gonna get you girl, I’m gonna get you

You can’t escape me girl, I’ll never let you

Living in the city, it’s a tough break

Everybodys waiting for just one mistake

You’d better watch you back — I’m right behind you

Keep your head down ‘cause the sun and stars will blind you

Everybody’s looking for a second chance

A stolen kiss or a slow dance

Time off for good behaviour

Your life is passing by — I’m gonna save you

Everybody’s dreaming of days in the sun

Forget your fantasies, the night has just begun

Hold me closer baby bneath the covers

W’re only strangers who play at being lovers

Don’t stop 'til you can’t see

Shut your mouth girl, don’t say a word to me

It’s a big deal, you’re afraid to change your mind

Because you feel things are leaving you behind

Well, times change but you never do

You just hold on to your point of view

You must escape our chains girl, you’ve got to break them

So many chances but you never take them

It’s a good night for a slow death

Feel the walls closing in, stop to catch your breath

This isn’t make-believe girl and you’ll never change it

The pattern of your life, it’s so hard to re-arrange it

I choke on hard lines

Everybody knows these are hard times

I feel the pinch but I’m planning something new

Tell me baby, are you planning something too?
