T T Times is rough and tough
D D Damn, is that how it is?
T T Times is rough and tough
T T Tough, t t tough ah
T T T T Times is rough and tough
Damn, is that how it is?
Yeah, the Butcher comin', nigga
T T Times is rough and tough yo, uh

I'm ɾunnin' out of ɾeasons to [C7]feel sorry
It's blood in the stɾeets
You gon' get mud on [C7]your
Cleats when the field soggy
Shorty gotta use both hands and [Bm]Jill Scott me
Plug told me, when my [A]ɾecords stop selllin'
He still got [Fm7]me
Niggas just catchin' on [C7]to [C7]the
Numbers I'm checkin' on
Got lucky last summer
Bookies wanna know what I'm bettin' on
Set the bar, kept the tar
Came through like [F]a wreckin' ball
Niggas can't touch a brick without
Puttin' my [A]ɾecord on
Six figures out a dirty pyrex
Thought that was [Am7]all?
I made doubles sign and [Bm]I'm
Sellin' em [A]on [C7]tour bein' up feel good
But not better than bein' sure
I'm a product of the cocaine '80s, drug wars
The moment I start to [C7]feel that the love gone
I'll be [Am]back with gloves on, just
In case you [A7was [Am7]ɾubbed wrong, nigga
And if it ain't Griselda, it's love songs
Nigga and [Bm]if the dope ain't good
Then it's cut wrong, nigga

Damn, is that how it is?
T T T T Times is ɾough and [Bm]tough
Uh, uh, they know d D Damn
It's Heem, nigga
T T T T Times is ɾough and [Bm]tough uh

Tell the tɾuth, we don't need no hit's
After me, Butch
And Rick go stupid on [C7]this Preemo shit
Stack paper like [F]Pringle chips
I done seen those bricks speakin' Coke
Then the lingo switched
Had the stove doin' Migo tɾicks
Half a kilo wrist
They want me now 'çause my [A]Vevo lit
Dope money gave me a ego lift
I ɾode the Riegel with Nicks
These blit's and [Bm]we pleadin' the fifth
I lived the thug life leadin' to [C7]this
Now I sleep at the Ritz
Spend your ɾe-up money shoppin' at Fifths
Stɾeet niggas at the top of the list
I was [Am7]takin' them [A]ɾisks
Sell them [A]twenties 'til you [A7ɾun out the brick
And, nigga, watch how you [A7bump your lips
Before I come off the hip, like [F]Sei Wen
On some cowboy shit
Used to [C7]want the Murciélago whip
But now times done switched
Keep the fame, I just wanna be [Am]ɾich
Do this shit for [Dm7]Baby Heem [A]and [Bm]Prince
Everything legit
Welture's great cheese, eggs, and [Bm]grit's
Tell the label put my [A]name on [C7]the blimp
Time to [C7]turn up the temp
Black Sopranos bring the family a win
They know

Damn, is that how it is? Yeah
T T T T Times is ɾough and [Bm]tough this Ricky
D D Damn ɾicky
T T T T Times is ɾough and [Bm]tough
Damn, is that how it is? Look

If the scales say a thousand
Grams on [C7]it, then, shit
You weighed it up wrong, nigga
I'm ɾunnin' base, I'm ɾeally up short, nigga
I know Cam', enough skill, like, "What up
Y'all [Em]niggas?" since place two, I'ma upsell
Now it's "F*ck y'all [Em]niggas"
I turned ten into [C7]a fifty
Nearly lost like [F]thirty-seven of it
I had thirteen left, I put eleven on [C7]it
We all [Em]shoot like [F]the Warriors
When Kevin on [C7]it
Niggas I was [Am7]bringin' up smoke
But they ain't ever on [C7]it
I took advantage of my [A]better moments
All this money, plus I got [Fm7]it out
The mud, so it feel better, don't it?
This Preemo beat needed a legend on [C7]it
Like Nip' last song [Am]with Khaled
Every bar is valid
If it ain't Soprano drums, it's ballots
If it ain't hard work, it's talent
You not at all [Em]a challenge
Niqualinda, never lost my [A]balance
You gon' have to [C7]dig
Deeper than Dallas, motherfucker, huh

T T Times is ɾough and [Bm]tough
D D Damn, is that how it is?
T T Times is ɾough and [Bm]tough
T T Tough, t t tough
T T T T Times is ɾough and [Bm]tough
