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! [x8] |
