lyrics

HARD NUT
Ola Onabule © 2010

That's Big J, kept alive by the power of anger.
Never knowingly ran from a chance to get hurt, Or make hurt.
But his girl says she don't even wanna know no more, She's got all his things together, placed them by the door
Out in the field, He's free to get killed. Drew up his own will, when he was just seventeen.

Some guys ain't afraid to try whatever Some guys ain't afraid to die whenever
Somethings ain't a cinch like that however Love's a pretty hard nut to crack

Big J's home from a stint at her majesties pleasure, With good intentions and ambitions to do good things, Spiritual things.
But his girl didn't quite make it past judgement day, Got her things together,
moved in with new fiance. Problem with J, is someone must pay, For this new pain, that won't fade away.

...Love's a pretty hard nut it's hard not to crack!

He feels like nobody knows, all of the things he's done for that woman. Kept the clothes on her back, Nasty guys off her case,
and made her like a beauty queen. So how's she gonna repay a brother,
By taking up with another, Damn love hurts! Her love hurts yeah!

Chorus

So he calls in one more favour from shady friend. She may have one over on him but not in the end.
You don't mess with J, That's what they say, You don't take his love then throw it away,
