It's all, good, my, nigga
That's right, you know how we do dawg, "Pull It"
Y.O., Harlem, we back part two man, Dark Man where you at?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Let's set this shit off, start this shit right

Dawg stalks the streets, in New York to eat
How many times do I gotta come through (yeah)
Layin' that thing down, puttin' holes in you
You cats get it on the double, so stay the fuck
Out of my way, you don't want no trouble (come on)
We travel double far, to bring you trouble God
We rollin' double hard, yea nigga double R!
I don't know what you thought it was, but it's not
But I know that you caught the slugs, they was hot
Get the fuck off the block (what), there's no more room
For bitch niggas (uh) dawg I'm comin' to get niggas (yeah)
Lift niggas, out they boots, dust it
'Cause I don't just walk around with them things to bust it
Uh, we go hard
Never mind what a nigga say, we go hard
We gon' play how we want to play, we go hard
Man we do this shit all day, we go hard

Yo, I leave jail smoothly, jump in the pale hooptie
Fuck the dick suckin' ass nigga male groupies
Diplomats, you look at alliance, you shook in defiance
I'm cookin' up coke, lookin' for clients
I got the AK, SK, 40 cal
Scope red on your head still 40 thou' (40 thousand)
Worse than foul Nerf turf burstin', blaow
Give the church my child, ask to nurture thou
'Cause I've seen the hearses now
But if this was Gilligan's Isle, Thirstin' Howl, wow
Look at his kicks, they worth a thou'
Isn't it sad, do what I say and wish that you had
You Michigan crabs, you stabbed you piss in a bag
Or worse than that, zipped in a bag
Broke to fractions, a division of math
From, Hollywood, shittin' on Shaft, we go hard

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Step lightly around dawg (yeah) I might be hittin' town dawg (yeah)
You really tryin to get down dawg?
Only thing I can do with pussy is fuck it
And I would tell you to suck my dick but you might suck it
See y'all niggas the cat type (what)

Must I take a nigga's last stripe? (come on)
You'se a bitch, now more bitch than a bitch
Still a bitch fuckin bitch, you been a bitch

Peep the crib, run up, in it quick (yeah)
Everything breathin' stops, only thing my niggas is leavin'

Let me catch you on the block, bitch-ass niggas is cowards
Done fucked around and dropped the soap in the shower (come on)

Motherfucker, uh, uh, we go hard
Never mind what a nigga say, we go hard
We gon' play how we want to play, we go hard
Bitch, we do this shit all day, we go hard

The song "We Go Hard" by Cam'ron/DMX is a boastful anthem of gangster lifestyle, where the artists rap about their violent and aggressive tendencies. It opens with a call-and-response between Cam'ron and DMX, which indicates that this is a second part of the duo's collaboration. The lyrics then go on to highlight the rappers' prowess in the art of street crime, and their willingness to go to extremes to maintain their status.
Cam'ron's verse focuses on his drug-dealing skills and his willingness to use guns to protect his territory. He mentions various types of firearms, from AK to 40 cal, and advises his foes to stay out of his way. He uses derogatory language and makes sexist comments towards his competitors. DMX's verse is even more aggressive, with such images as killing someone in a church, treating rivals like babies, and threatening them with rape. The chorus repeats the phrase "we go hard" to emphasize the tough and uncompromising attitude of the rappers.
Overall, "We Go Hard" portrays a rather negative and destructive view of urban life, glorifying violence and crime. It's a common theme in hip-hop, but this song takes it to an extreme level. It's a song that aims to pump up the listener with its blunt lyrics and energetic beat, but it also raises some serious questions about the morality of such behavior.
