Go Hard Songtext
von JAY‐Z

(Ayy, we go by The Runners)
DJ Khaled! We the best!
I′m going in! Remix! (Go Hard!)
LA-D-S! I can show 'em more than I can tell ′em
(Go) (go) (go) (Young!) Lights out, niggas!

I'm up out M-A-R-C-Y P-R-O-J-E-C-T
Ain't no other motherfucker in the rap game harder than me
I go hard and get it in like a pornstar
Follow my moves, you wanna make it to the top, I′m OnStar for newborn stars
Even when the camera stop
I′m a hundred-million-dollar movie, hand on my cock
Big Homie from the back block
When you first learned how to slap box


Then you even learned how to dribble the pill
Or to hand the pot, bring it back, rock
Number one rule, if your ass get popped
Don't chatterbox to the Matlocks (go hard)
Death before dishonor, I′ma honor the code they created
Number two rule, and it might sound rude, but-, yup! Fuck you, pay me!
I drown my pain in Porsches, I lost my partner to the bullshit
Still tryna hold on to my religion so
I put a couple diamonds in the crosses

Close your eyes, see the darkness
That's what it′s like where I'm from
No lawyers, no doctors
So either I go the hardest or I could just call this a night
On dark nights, it′s like I see better
On Dark Knights, I'm like Heath Ledger
Even if I overdose on drugs
Motherfuckers can't kill my buzz

Wait, I ain′t done, I′ma freestyle this, Khaled let it run
What's the hardest county in the Yayo?
′Cause I'ma go harder than they go
I′ma go harder than Baltimore
Philly gon' say they can′t touch the boy
Where you at, Duval? I'ma go harder than you all

Harder than New York
Turn the Pro Tools in the booth off
I'ma go harder than Ye go
And Ye go hard, that′s baby bro
(Put some more beat on that joint!)


Ay, if you could, you would get rid of me
What you gonna do when a nigga got to go hard
But I won′t let you get to me (to me)
You should already figure I'ma go hard

If you were as real as me
You would never let another nigga step in your yard
Makin′ money ain't shit to me
This in my veins and it gets to my heart

So I am (hard), I will (hard), I gots to go (go hard)
You got another way to live, you gots to go on
I am gettin′ it in until the end
I got to go (go), go (go), go (go), go (go hard)

I ain't ever been scurred
Never been a type to bite my words
When I came up, y′all gave me shit
Now I'm gonna make y'all eat them terds
Always said what the fuck I felt
Gon′ head spit that murder, I wrote
Man, I don′t care what, what you felt
Fuck you, nigga, I know I'm dope

Dope like I′m comin' to get my all
Felt like I had to play the fly on the wall
Felt like niggas was stuntin′ on me
Funny how I'm flyer then them all
Now I′m at the top, ain't know where to go now
Instead of me, she gon' go down
Maybe I would′ve slowed down
If I knew what I know now

I′m stupid, yeah, I know I'm dumb
It could get fuckin′ old, but it's good I′m young
But my heart get cold as the hood I'm from
Tell me what it take to be number one
I guess it′s gon' be what it's gon′ be
But here′s one thing y'all got to hear
I′ma tell you like George Bush told me
Fuck y'all niggas, I′m out of here

If you could, you would get rid of me
What you gonna do when a nigga got to go hard
But I won't let you get to me (to me)
You should already figure I′ma go hard

If you were as real as me
You would never let another nigga step in your yard
Makin' money ain't shit to me
This in my veins and it gets to my heart

So I am (hard), I will (hard), I gots to go (go hard)
You got another way to live, you gots to go on
I am gettin′ it in until the end
I got to go (go), go (go), go (go), go (go hard)

Happy new year
We The Best, Def Jam
Def Jam, soul
