hard times

John Legend

Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare
People all around me and theyââ?¬â?¢re all in fear
They donââ?¬â?¢t seem to want me but they wonââ?¬â?¢t admit
I must be some kind of creature up here having fits

From my party house, Iââ?¬â?¢m afraid to come outside
Although Iââ?¬â?¢m filled with love Iââ?¬â?¢m afraid theyââ?¬â?¢ll hurt my pride
So I play the part I feel they want of me
And I pull the shades so I wonââ?¬â?¢t see them seein me

Havin hard times in this crazy town
Havin hard times, thereââ?¬â?¢s no love to be found
(repeat)

From my party house I feel like meetin others
Familiar faces, creed and race, a brother

But to my surprise I find a man corrupt
Although he be my brother, he wants to hold me up

Havinââ?¬â?¢ hard times in this crazy town
Havinââ?¬â?¢ hard times, thereââ?¬â?¢s no love to be found
(repeat)

(rap)

In this crazy town
Havin hard times, thereââ?¬â?¢s no love to be found
Havin hard times, in this crazy town
Havin hard times, thereââ?¬â?¢s no love to be found
