Hard as mofucker ha-ha-ha-ha-ha hard as a mofucker hard hard
Inside your machine I hear a whirring
Cogs and flywheels getting into gear
Was this was time to tell you're secrets
Softly so that only I could hear
Strange to be this close and never touching
Moves me far away from where we are
I wish I knew what you were dreaming
And I wonder if you're showing off the scar
It's true
I know it's hard on me
It's even harder on you
It's hard
It's hard to be strangers
I send my best regards
We both changed and that's hard
We slept through one another's nightmares
'Til we forgot what beds are for
Now we're awake and slightly shaken
We're seeing what's behind the bedroom done
It's no fun
I know it's hard on me
It's hard on everyone
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard to be strangers
I send my best regards
But we both changed and that's hard
When you said that it was love or nothing
I didn't know the outcome was in doubt
I know it's hard on me
It's even harder on you
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard that we changed
I send my best regards
'Cause we're strangers now and that's hard
It's hard
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, yeah
They can say whatever
I'ma do whatever
No pain is forever
Yup, you know this
Tougher than a lion
Ain't no need in tryin'
I live where the sky ends
Yup, you know this
Never lyin', truth teller
That Rihanna reign, just won't let up
All black on, blacked out shades
Blacked out Maybach
I'ma rock this shit like fashion, as in
goin' til they say stop
And my runway never looked so clear
But the hottest bitch in heels right here
No fear, and while you getting your cry on
I'm getting my fly on
Sincere, I see you aiming at my pedastal
I betta let ya' know
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
All up on it
Know you wanna clone it
Aint like me
That chick to phoney
Ride this beat, beat, beat like a pony
Meet me at the top (top, top)
Gettin' lonely
Who think they test me now
Run through your town
I shut it down
Brilliant, resilient
Fan mail from 27 million
And I want it all
It's gonna take more than that
Hope that ain't all you got
I need it all
The money, the fame, the cars, the clothes
I can't just let you run up on me like that (all on me like that)
Yeah
I see you aiming at my pedastal
So I think I gotta let ya' know
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
Go hard or go home
Back to your residence
Soon the red dogs will give the block back to the presidents
I used to run my own block like Obama did
You ain't gotta believe me, go ask my momma and them
You couldn't even come in my room
it smelled like a kilo
Looked like me and two of my boys playing casino
Trying to sell they peeping my bag they can't afford it
Tell 'em to give me back my swag
They tryin' to clone me
See my Louis tux, Louis flag, Louis frames, Louis belt
What that make me
Louis mane?
I'm in an all white party wearin' all black
With my new black watch call it the heart attack
Cardiac arrest, cardiac a wrist
Yeah, they say they're hard
They ain't hard as this
Hard!
The one word describes me
If I wasn't doin' this
You know where I be, too hard
Where dem girls talkin' trash
Where dem girls talkin' trash
Where they at, where they at, where they at?
Where dem bloggers girls at
Where dem bloggers girls at
Where they at, where they at, where they at?
Where your lighters at
Where your lighters at
Where they at, where they at, where they at?
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard

Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard

Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard

Every single night
I’ve been without you girl
Is just so hard
Gotta take a flight south
Cause I know that I
was too hard
Shoulda been loving you (shoulda been loving)
I shoulda been loving you (shoulda been loving)
Girl I hate to say, but I gotta get back my name
I don’t really hold my chain
To have money enough to get on this plane
And come and get my love
I ain’t leaving til I get my love
Can you resist my heart and my soul?
I’m saying sorry now (saying sorry now)
But I know that ain’t gonna cut it
So I’m changing now (so I’m changing now)
Yes I am (yes I am)
Every single night
I’ve been without you girl

Really heh
Oh oh oh ooh

Ain’t nobody ever loved me like you
I just figured it out
Maybe it’s too late for me and you
I just can’t picture that
(Hope it’s not too late, Not too late for us)
Sometimes I feel like
Me and you’s a must
I’m saying sorry now
But I know that ain’t gonna cut it
So I’m changing now (I’m changing now)
Yes I am (yes I am)
Every single night

Do you know your ABC's? If you do, won't you sing with me? ( x2 )
A's for apple
B's for ball
Me and C the shocker, at the mall.
D came over in that
E class benz.
F started fightin' and wanna be friends.
Well, I am a good Midwestern boy
I give an honest day's work if I can get it
I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my girl
I've got values that would make the White House jealous
Well, I do get a little much over-impressed
'Til I think of Peter and Paul and the apostles
I don't stack up too well against them I guess
But by the standards 'round here I ain't doing that awful
Lord, it's hard to turn the other cheek
Hard to bless when others curse you
Oh Lord, it's hard to be a man of peace
Lord, it's hard, oh it's hard,
You know it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard, oh it's hard,
Oh Lord, it's hard to be like Jesus
And it's hard to step out on them waves
Hard to walk beyond your vision
Oh Lord, it's hard to be a man of faith
Lord, it's hard (hard), Lord, it's hard (so hard),
Oh Lord, it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard (hard), oh it's hard (yeah hard),
Oh Lord, it's hard to be like Jesus
Well, His eye's on the sparrow
And the lilies of the field I've heard
And He will watch over you and He will watch over me
So we can dress like flowers and eat like birds
And it's hard when your soul had been stripped bare
Hard to lift your eyes toward Heaven
Oh Lord, it's hard to be a man of prayer
Lord, it's hard, oh it's hard,
You know it's hard to be like Jesus
Lord, it's hard to be a man of peace
But it's hard (so hard), ain't it hard (hard),
You know it's hard to be like Jesus
Don't you know it's hard (hard), and it's hard (yeah hard)
To be a man of peace (hard, so hard)
But it's hard to be like Jesus
And I'm trying, trying, try
Oh Lord, I try so hard
Don't you know it's hard
Oh glory, oh gracious
But ain't it hard to be like Jesus
Well, I am a good Midwestern boy
I give an honest day's work if I can get it
I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my girl
Kind a hard to put your finger on
Leaves a nasty taste upon your lips
I only need the air to turn me on
Take a breath and then I'll know why
Do you wanna, now we're gonna feel free
The door is open, you?ll be
Feeling better, write a letter, make love
I didn't know this could be
One more time
One more time
Autumn brown and winter gray today
I read the news they've nothing nice to say
Once I left a band or did I dream it
Missing nothing but the friends I've made
Take a bow now, who am I now to feel free
To even dream you're with me
Watch the cat play on Saturday, go mad
It's in a day's life, I've had
One more time
One more time
Do you wanna, now we're gonna feel free
The door is open, you?ll be
Feeling better, write a letter, make love
I didn't know this could be
One more time
One more time
One more time
It's hard to get high
And it's hard to get thru
It's hard to hear me
When I'm talking to you
You see these hard eyes
You know what I mean
These eyes got hard
After what they've seen
I'm that hard man
So good to find
I'm that hard man
With an iron mind
I got hard
I stayed hard
Can't keep me down
Because I'm hard
I keep moving because I'm hard
I keep burning because I'm hard
I'm going over
Not getting by
Hard sense makes sense
Real pain is what I reach
The real this is what I keep
I am because I'm hard
I will because I'm hard
It's hard to get high
And it's hard to get through
And it hard to hear me, but I'm talkin' to you
And you see these hard eyes you know what I mean
And these eyes got hard
Now I can't see
I mean hard, man so good to find
I'm not hard, man, the iron mind
Go! Oh yeah!
I got hard, and I stayed hard
You can't keep me down because I'm hard
I keep movin' because I'm hard
I keep burnin' because I am hard
Oh yeah!
I'm goin' over not gettin' back
Hard sense makes a point
Oh yeah! Hey!
No one stops the rock around this ranch, boy, yeah!
Real pain is what I reach for
The real thing is what I came for
I am - because I'm hard
[Scarface:]
The streets lights are glowing, everyday's another struggle
The moon is slowly and silent staring make it so my hustle is antite
The city streets is hectic gotta get it
Here the mall, ain't a promise to me
So I don't live and feel working til' I touch it, stack it until I need it
I spend it on what I want, re-up and that's when I need
It's over you never see me, it's being salt as it's lesser
The niggas straight out the gutta, murder without a question
Bodies in my surroundings, click-clack from downing
All they know is he missing when niggas ain't never found him
Assaulting is the least, I don't live it on rejects
I'm a muthafuckin' killer foreal with the same threat
I'm as gangsta as it gets and my advice for you is lay your life
Ya never know when niggas might hit you in the city lights
Get it right, ya never know when niggas might hit you in the city lights
Get it right (Get it right)
[Slim Thug:]
Born and raised on the North blocks, home of the hard-knocks
Wanna get rich, find a spot to pump that hard out
Might get robbed and shot if niggas don't think you worthy
In my hood, I saw a lot of gangstas die early
Mama heart broke, and brother feel like he gotta fix it
So he loading up from straps, bout to hit it where they kick it
Got a first class ticket to the pen
Seventeen-years-old but up in that they all men
It's just another day, one come out, another go in
It's hard out here, you can't even trust yo friends
They'll have a nigga set up, whatever by the curb
It's every man for self, oh you ain't heard
I'm a muthafuckin' Hogg, survive through it all
Stand up tall, we don't fall, naw
I been shot at but ain't been shot
Been in plenty fight but ain't been drop
Always came out on top like a hard-knock
[J-Dawg:]
Straight up
Yeah, these tattoo tears cover my face
My momma got mad at first but shit she know she may
I'm a G you gotta pray for me, it is what it is
Why these niggas out here playing, mayne this really my fear?
What'cha know about them late nights, no lights and no food?
No diapers for the baby's, the house smell like boo-boo
Think of what'chu would do what I tell ya what I does
Walk straight up off the porch, now the Camus begun
My big brother on lock, so I starve his gut
He goin lead to where he at, I been in the going stuff for crack and that
Big homie knew I had it on my mind
He ain't like it but it right that run it through my bloodline
He knew what he decline and what goin be hard for me to find
So he choose to put me down, and I got up on my grind
The dawg and you hoes say I'm glorifying crack
My momma lights off, the whole house pitch black, bitch!
Straight up

J-Dilla
Verse 1 [Ryu]
It ain't (Hard)
They tell now who the illest is
J-Dilla bitch Styles in ya grill again
That old killa shit back to the gutter scum
Number 1 rap record of the summer son!
Feet stomp to the beat like war drums
Chandelier shook and the freakin floor sunk
The R-Y-U that should do it
Shoot a missle at the moon and attach you to it
It's too (Hard)
Born for the weak and peacy
I'm thinkin that the worlds gonna need some clean sheets
Shittin on you rappers I practice free speech
Don't protect whales but I rap for Green Peace!
Verse 2 [Tak]
It's time to hop in to cruise to the new shit
I'm bout as cool as me chewin a toothpick
Soon as the sun sets I'm out with the whole clan
Tearin the village down oh man!
Folks don't understand
When I'm holdin this part of this perfect unit
To do it you recognize that we started this murder music
I'm movin through all the rubbish and yes
They know they love it at best
Cuz I've been known to keep them clubbin the debt
Chorus
[Tak]
You ain't a (Star)
So why you walk around actin like you (Hard)
Ain't nobody got you bumpin in the (Car)
You don't party with ya people at the (Bar)
What is it?
Wha wha what is it?
You a (Star)
[Ryu]
Before you bring it boy you better think (Hard)
Drop a hundred thou on a red and pink (Car)
Get it free never blow money at the (Bar)
What is it?
What what what is it?
Verse 3 [Tak]
Huh?
Aww I see you got ya heart broken
Little sweetie posted up with both arms folded
Clockin all my jewels and they don't know how we did it
Marking every move smooth to my MLB fitted
Ooh!
Ya baby sitters gonna be a minute late
Why?
Cuz you ain't even old enough to innovate
Skulls in ya grill got ya neighborhood fame
But dang
You ain't really known for ya skill
Verse 4 [Ryu]
Think about it before you pop off
Keep cool when you fuckin with a Boss Hog
Hot sauce ima bag this Poptart
Seen em down the bloc tryin to flag a cop car
Not to notice a bomb goes wowee
Demigodz roll like Musab al-Zarqawi
People know who control the Valley
Roll tanks through the west bank home to Cali
You ain't (Hard)
Cuz ya whack clique was Ousted
So sick I spit raps in hazmat outfits
You ain't about shit holmes admit it
Cuz real hustlers don't talk they just go get it!
Uh huh
S.O.B.
Ryu and Tak
Chorus
Verse 5 [Tak]
Follow me follow me closely
I see you fellas were jealous so I crack a smirk and polish my trophy
Shakin the ground
I put my hands in the gravel
Try takin me down so I can stand in ya shadow
You and ya buddy gonna see in an instant
Dummy
Without me it wouldn't be what it is then
So recognize and zip ya lip jack push em aside
What a surprise yea it's so kick it
Verse 6 [Ryu]
You hear the baby whining it don't effect me shiit
How dare you disrespect me kid
I'm sick of the games
Look at where you sit in the plane
You could be chillin with a first class ticket to fame
You ain't (Hard)
Matter fact it's easy
Ima crack ya cd
It sounds good cuz ya tracks are cheesy
On the path to greatness
Ya raps are basic
Think about it when you fillin out that application
Move me, move me baby
I don't wanna be a lamb
Move me, move me darlin'
I bought a lacy bra
Move me, move me baby
Tear my pants off
Move me darlin'
Anywhere, anyhow
Love on a table
love on the stairs
love..
love in a pissing room
love on a back-seat
love like a fresh meat
love like a lick
[Chorus]
Move me,
Aunt Harvey said : Honey!
Just do it !
Move me,
Aunt Harvey said : Honey !
Life is hard !!
Move me, move me baby
You're home's between my legs
Move me sweetie
A hen should lay the eggs
Move me baby
I m useful, i'm real (cause)
You said i'm your filly
You like to break me in
[Chorus]
Love on a table
love on stairs
love...
love in a pissing room
love on the pavement
love like a movement
love... use your hips baby
love on a back-seat
love like a fresh meat
Men are husbands, men are dads
Casanovas, Jack the Lads
Men are brothers, men are sons
Pray their fathers' will be done
Men of science, men of God
Men of action, in a squad
Men are Real and men are New
And men are people just like you
So hard...
Men are friendly, men are flip
Laugh a lot and give you lip
Men are crazy, men are kind
Men are angels, men are swine
In the movies, men are brave
Seldom ever misbehave
Macho men are all the rage
Selling jeans and aftershave
Men are sexy, men are sweet
Men are faithful, never cheat
Men are tough and never cry
Men are truthful, never lie - and it's
So hard...
Men are restless, men are shy
Commit themselves, they'd rather die
Hide their feelings with a front
Say 'I love you' when they're drunk
Throw their clothes off in a heap
Crawl in bed and fall asleep
Kiss you quick and say goodbye
And I should know, cos I'm a guy
Men are sexy, men are sweet
Men are faithful, never cheat
Men are tough and never cry
Men are truthful, never lie - and it's
So hard... to be a man
At the factory, at the pool
At the match or sat in school
Riding bikes or making deals
Sat behind a driving wheel
In the playground, in the pub
In the bedroom - there's the rub
Boys impersonating men
And I should know - I'm one of them
Men are sexy, men are sweet
Men are faithful, never cheat
Men are tough and never cry
Men are truthful, never lie
Clever men with clever brains
Spend the weekend watching trains
Handsome men with happy lives
Damaged men with damaged wives...
So hard... they're
So hard... and it's
Why do i promise i'll never turn back
When one step ahead steps right into the past
And i'm back to the start
Where my head's taking over my heart, again
Twisting and turning, i'm tangled and torn
Too broke and too bent to be fixed anymore
Half crazy for home like a castaway prisoner of war
It's hard to believe
That you could love the hardest parts of me
And it's hard to conceive
The way your love unravels me
It's not that i don't want to give you my heart
It's just hard
Some mornings it hurts just to climb out of bed
When the ones that i love are there shaking their heads
And like a fly on a screen, i'm just buzzing between
My life and my dreams
It's just hard to believe
That you could love the hardest parts of me
And it's hard to conceive
The way your love unravels me
It's not that i don't want to give you my heart
It's just hard
So bring on the fire
That feeds this desire to feel unbreakable
'cause it's make me or break me
So please make me wake up to something more
'cause it's hard to believe
That you could live the hardest parts of me
And it's hard to conceive
The way, the way your love unravels me
Oh, it's not that i don't want to give you my heart
It's just hard
Oh, it's not that i don't want to give you my heart
Mama's in the tub, rub-a-dub-dub
Thinkin' about twistin' one up
Everybody here is down with the bug
Everybody here is frustrated
So you don't have to be so hard
Bottoms up, Dixie cup
Baby, you're the one I tried to love up
All by myself
You can spit in my face
I'll probably save you a place
Up high on the shelf
But you don't have to be so hard
Now you shine around my door
With nothing new to say
If you had the best intentions
You wouldn't leave things where they lay
Old enough to see
What makes your rockets fly
And how to make myself cry, to live better
Old enough to see the beauty of one tree
Growin' up to face the weather
So you don't have to be so hard
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

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...
