When Times Get Rough ft. JC, Kaye Kaye, Diamond Dave Stafford & Helen Battle Lyrics

You know, sometimes you look at real life people like super heroes; you know, like these people are gonna always be around, you know

You're real life heroes. You know, you never imagine 'em gone but...it has to happen some time

Only when the times get rough

And I don't know what else to do

But bein on my own I know

I'll never play to lose

I lost my Grandma for this Christmas

Some say my soul is missin

I swear I'd give my life to tell you

Just how much I miss you

They say that it gets easier

Only if you take your time

But you should never have to choose

When your loved one has to die

Too much for you to take

And Im selfish if i keep you

So I'd rather you be in Heaven

Where the evil couldn't reach you

You was my motivation

Without you i'd never make it

Thats how I feel sometimes

But Im just blind and couldn't face it

Another angel that couldn't handle

All the pain of the Earth

You kept me alive when I needed

So I wouldnt get worse

Helen Battle, you're my heart

And you raised me with love

Now your memory's all I got

When the time's get rough

Only when the times get rough

And I don't know what else to do

But bein on my own I know

I'll never play to lose

I only wish that I could give you what you gave me

A major part of why I'm still here and trying to succeed

I wanted to make you proud and try to follow all my dreams

Now it seems it doesnt matter without you hear beside me

My sister good, my mama straight, we all holdiin it down

As for my brother, that's a story I won't get to now

Them drugs got em twisted, and Keek is still drinkin

My son's doin good, my daughter's mama's still trippin

You held the family down together and I don't know how

But everythings gonna change - no one could match your style

Helen Battle, you're my heart and you raised me with love

So when times get rough you're all I'm only ever thinkin of.

Only when the times get rough

And I don't know what else to do

But being on my own I know

I'll never play to lose
