My mother told me, before she passed away, she said son when I'm gone, don't forget to pray, cause there'll be hard times, hard times Oh yeah, yeah, who knows better than I? Well I soon found out, just what she meant, when I had to pawn my clothes, just to pay my rent, talking about hard times, hard times Oh yeah, yeah, who knows what's better than I? I had a woman, Lord, who was always around, but when I lost my money, she put me down Talking about hard times, you know those hard, yeah Lord, who knows what's better than I? Yeah Lord, yeah, one of these days, there'll be no more sorrow, when I pass away, and no more hard times I say no more hard, yeah Lord, who knows, yeah Lord, what's better than I?
