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)
