So Hard Songtext
von Joell Ortiz

Wooh!
Yaowa!
Hard of gettin′ outta beeed each and every day,
I gotta [?] at a jooob that I really hate.
I gotta bring him home a much-much better way,
But never ever gonna give uuuuup! (never give up)
I can't hear all the negative you got to say,
I got my plane and now I′m gonna make a way!
Straight to the top where there's a finer way;
I did it by myself with no help along the waaaay! (Yaaaaowa!)
They want me to quit, - so I work so haaard! (yeah!)
Get off of my dick! - Homie, this my job. (let's go!)
I ain′t got no time to play no games, (no!)
Baby, it′s showtime; they want my name! (oooh!)
Don't know about you, chump, but I′m gon' win. (ch′eah!)
Go get your whole crew, punk, cause I go IN!
You witnessin' greatness, embrace this, girl. (yeah!)
Don′t let me waste this, come taste this, girl! (HAHAAA!)
I come from the projects, so yes, I'm hood! (look!)
But I ain't gon′ smack y′all unless I should. (whattup?)


So stay out my way, boy, and it's all good! (uh-huh!)
I′m doin' it, playboy, I wish y′all would! (maaaan!)
Come try to stop me! Oh, no! Not now! (NO!)
I'm feelin′ like Rocky, I won't go down! (HAAAAA!)
I'm headed right to the top! (uhh!)
Whether you like it or not, haters would like me to stop. - IT′S SOOO... (SOOO!)
I′m a never give UP! (give UP!) - I ain't you, ahh.
Like a really good nut, (haaah!) - I came too far! (ch′eah!)
Can't settle for less, I′m the best, hands dooown!
Put me to the test! - EMS, man down. (BLOOOW!)
Y'all think it′s a joke, - but my ass don't laugh! (naaah!)
I came up broke. - I ain't have no cash! (eerr!)
So I ain′t the one for all the nonsense, boi!
Don′t have me killin you on my conscious, boi! (WHOOO!)
I know it get tough, - but I will survive; (yeah!)
The road is rough, - but I got four-wheel drive! (DRIVE!)
I am a hustler, my time is close, (yeah!)
You just a "Buster", go find some "Ghosts"! (hahaaa!)
Your face look angry, that makes me proud. (uh-huh!)
So naaah, don't wait! Please, just hate me NOOOOW! (c′mon!)
I'm just payin′ my dues. (uh-huh!)
And steady makin' my moves, (uh-huh!) I know y′all prayin' I lose; it's SOOO... (SOOO!)
It′s haaaaard comin′ from the bottom, (so haaaard...)
So haaaaard, the pressure to the toooop! (so haaaard...)
But there's noo going back nooooow;
Don′t you quit, don't you give up! - Don′t you give up! Noooo! (noooo!) {never give up!}
It's haaaaard comin′ from the bottom, (so haaaard...)
So haaaaard, the pressure to the toooop! (so haaaard...)
But there's noo going back nooooow;
Don't you quit, don′t you give up! - Don′t you give up! Noooo!
Every day when I wake up, I thank that, maaan!
I don't complain, nope! - I play my haaand! (let′s go!)
Pray on my downfall? No, that won't work! (NO!)
Your flow like a ground ball, man, y′all so dirt. (hahaaa!)
I'm so monsterous with this brain (look!)
Oh so awesomeness, feel this flame! (HAAAHH!)
I′m no narcissist but I'm so fly,
I should go on Mars and just tell y'all: "Bye! " (whooo!)
"I′m workin′ so hard! " - So with that said,
I get right on my job - when I leave this dead. (c'mon!)
I′m watchin' my carbs, - but I need this bread! (YEAH!)
I wanna be large - like my pitbull′s head! (HAAAHHH!)
So I won't let up like constant rain,
Fam y′all just suck, - constant braaaiiin! (ooohh!)
Homie, your flow is too frail (uh-huh!)
For toe-to-toe with Joell, (uh-huh!) I know you want me to fail! It's SOOO... (SOOO!)
[Chorus 2] [beat stops]
