Jordan Dunn - Hard Times Lyrics

I'm inviting you into my mind
I'm sorry if I'm wasting my time
Even when I'm straightened up
I always feel out of line
I never feel I'm accepted
I don't expect you to understand but I hope that you're listening, when spitting cos I am
Not doing well, I can't explain how I feel
All the wounds from my past, they're still waiting to heal
Need some alcohol and chase it down with some pills, for real
All I know is anxiety, that's why I feel everything that I do
I can't rely on me lying when I really know the truth
I won't be quiet I'm trying so hard for me to improve
And I find rhyming and writing songs is what I must do
I want my songs to be heard, but I don't wanna be famous
One day I'll blow up then I'll be called overrated
I don't want it that way
I'm trying to be patient
I'm impatiently waiting for the day I can say that I made it
Will I ever have a son or daughter?
Or find the love of my life?
I thought I found her but I let her pass on by
I let her go and I don't know if it was wrong or right
It's been years now but I still think about it sometimes
I understand and comprehend that everyone makes mistakes
But every time I find someone I get easily replaced
It's hard to man up and look myself in the face
When my reflection ain't the person I remembered from yesterday

A lot of thoughts they cross my mind
Sometimes I can't keep them inside
(Keep them inside)
We're all going through hard times
Need to remind myself I'm alive
(Keep them inside)

I love my mum and dad
But there's some things I need to understand
Why have they been dealt these cards they hold in their hands?
Because health problems have been plaguing them for years
And I'm just praying they'll be safe, man it brings me to tears
We've lost a lot of people and it hurts me, internally
So many deaths & murder scenes, when we turn on the TV
Each and every channel tells the same stories on repeat
They repeat the same things but no one seems to do a thing
There's people in the cities that are living on the street
And single mum and dad's who barely make it through the week
Men and woman terrified to leave their house cos they get beat
And people who end it all I really hope they found peace
It's sad living in a world with so much hatred
If I could recreate it filled with love, I would make it
I ain't tryna preach, I'm just saying
L-O-V-E is the only way, no mistaking
Politicians going on holidays while we burn
Took a nation of tweets and threats for him to return
Your thoughts and prayers aren't doing anything it's absurd
How you'd rather run away than let your nation be heard
We have to start cleansing the world from all the sins
Start with corrupted animals that we keep voting in
They claim to care about us, but they only pretend
These are all subconscious thoughts I keep hidden within

A lot of thoughts that cross my mind
Sometimes i can't keep them inside
(Keep them inside)
We're all going through hard times
Need to remind myself I'm alive
(Keep them inside)
