When it all boils down, who got the motherfucking crown?
|
For making that...
|
|
Hard! Street, ghetto rugged
|
Beat that'll make your whole crew say "fuck it"
|
Hard! Street, ghetto wild
|
Beat that'll make you feel my style
|
Hard! Street, ghetto beat
|
That I play when I think about out in the street, I got the
|
Hard! Street, ghetto style
|
|
(What about the smooth shit?) Yeah, I can do that too
|
(What about the groove shit?) Yeah, I can do that too
|
But when it comes time to rock the block
|
Who got that old mad ghetto type shit stocked and locked?
|
Large Pro, for those who don't know which way to go
|
Listen to your man's latest show with the (Hard!)
|
Street, you know the routine
|
On the concrete where the things ain't too clean
|
And it only gets rougher, and some will have to suffer
|
I was there, and even had to get my share
|
But as long as I'm alive I will never forget
|
What I had to go through to hit
|
That's why I play the
|
|
Hard! Street, ghetto rugged
|
Beat that'll make your whole crew say "fuck it"
|
Hard! Street, ghetto wild
|
Beat that'll make you feel my style
|
Hard! Street, ghetto beat
|
That I play when I think about out in the street, I got the
|
Hard! Street, ghetto style
|
|
You see it's all in my blood so I could never be a dud
|
The street mentality, I'll have you like "What?"
|
When you walking around, both feet on the ground,
|
No lie, about to take a nosedive
|
Kid it ain't no joke, you either get gat or go broke
|
Or get busy, the way the world turns you get dizzy
|
In a spin, so listen to the rhymes I send
|
They're only a reflection of the times I've been
|
On the street trying to make it on my own alone
|
I've grown, and now I'm here to let it be known
|
That a wish on a star may be too far-fetched to catch
|
Especially when you're trying to stretch
|
One dollar to the next on the cement, with mad heads scheming
|
But they ain't got a chance, they're dreaming
|
And deal with the real with determination in this burning nation
|
And listen to the
|
|
Hard! Street, ghetto rugged
|
Beat that'll make your whole crew say "fuck it"
|
Hard! Street, ghetto wild
|
Beat that'll make you feel my style
|
Hard! Street, ghetto beat
|
That I play when I think about out in the street, I got the
|
Hard! Street, ghetto style
|
|
You see, if you can make it on the streets
|
You're live enough to make it any place, I've seen many waste
|
Mad time and talent, and I just stay silent
|
Cause I ain't going out trying to teach a nonviolent
|
Community rap, I had to learn
|
The streets'll burn any man that is not concerned
|
With a plan for the future, someone could just shoot ya
|
On any given, that's why I thank God I'm living
|
On this here day to relay the message I say about the...
|
|
Hard! (Repeat 8x)
