"Harder Than You Think"
Yo, Chuck, whats the move, man?
I was on my way up here to the studio, you know what Im sayin?
And this brother stopped me and asked me
Yo, whats up with that brother, Chuckie D, he swear he nice
I said, Yo, the brother dont swear he nice
He knows hes nice, you know what Im sayin?
So, Chuck, I got a feeling youre turning into a Public Enemy, man
Now remember that night you was kickin to me
On the way out to L.A. Lounge in Queens
While we was in the car on our way to the shot
Well, yo, right now, kick the bass for em brothers
What goes on?
Rollin stones of the rap game not braggin
Lips bigger than jagger , not saggin
Spell it backwards
Im a leave it at that..
That aint got nothin to do with rap
Check the facts expose those cats
Who pose as heros and take advantage of blacks
Your governments gangster so cut the crap
A war goin on so where you at?
Fight the power comes great responsiblity
F the police but whos stoppin you from killin me?
Disasters , fiascos over a loop by pe
If its an i instead of we Believin tv
Spittin riches , bitches, and this new thing about snitches
Watch them asses move the masses switches
System dissed them but barely missed her
My soul intention to save my brothers and sisters
Get up Hard...just like that
Get up Hard...just like that
Get up Hard...just like that
Get up Hard...just like that
Yeah, thats right, Chuck, man, thats what you gotta do
You gotta tell them just like that, you know what Im sayin?
Cause, yo, man, let me tell you a little something, man
These brothers runnin around hard hatin
They get a little jealous, you know what Im sayin?
Just like that, you know they try to bring you down with em
But, yo, Chuck, you gotta tell em just like that
Screamin gangsta 20 years later
Of course endorsed while consciousness faded
New generations believing them fables
Gangster boogie on two turntables
Show no love so its easy to hate it
Desecrated while the coroner waited
Any given sunday so where yall rate it?
Wit slavery, lynching , and them drugs infiltrated
Im like that doll chuckie , baby
Keep comin back to live love life like i'm crazy
Keep it movin risin to the top
Doug fresh clean livin you dont stop
Revolution means change
Dont look at me strange
So i cant repeat what other rappers be sayin
You dont stand for something
You fall for anything
Harder than you think
Its a beautiful thing
Get up Hard...just like that
Get up Hard...just like that
Get up Hard...just like that
Get up Hard...just like that
Yeah, thats right, Chuck, man, thats what you gotta do
You gotta tell them just like that, you know what Im sayin?
Cause, yo, man, let me tell you a little something, man
These brothers runnin around hard hatin
They get a little jealous, you know what Im sayin?
Just like that, you know they try to bring you down with em
But, yo, Chuck, you gotta tell em just like that
So its time to leave you a preview

Thank you for lettin us be ourself
So dont mind me if i repeat myself
