Go Hard
I.G And Lil D.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Y'all better recognize me
Real finna recognize real
Making records but I ain't sign a deal
I'ma just say what I feel
I don't care about how you feel
I worked too hard for my meal
Can't let you take it from me
Greatness I'm destined to be
I done put on for my city
My city done put on for me
I'm that ou from the three
Handing out smoke like it's free
Y'all don't want no smoke with me
Y'all can't match the pedigree
Bring out the bars we gonna see
I don't just boss up for features
We keep the drip by the litre
She blushing whenever she meet us
Wilding out but not conceited
Was down and out but not defeated
Cold heart new freezer
All this heat no fever
Watch the kid like Caesar
You gassed up on my ether
Fresh kicks like Fifa
Y'all better pay the fee up
On the throne, kick my feet up
Finna relax on the re-up
All slap nigga we up
Time to feast like it's free lunch
Seen it all but never seen much
Did me dirty but I cleaned up
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
Back in the office
Stacking retarded figures
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
Back in the office
Stacking retarded figures
This go hard
This go hard
Going hard all that l know
My time like another time zone
We working all through the morning
I ain't finna head home
Consider this bar as a warning
You tryna bite on my flow
I could keep y'all niggas honest
You know as well as I know
Move like a poet in motion
Potent with every quote
Ain't talking about hitting up Doja
When I say all the hits dope
I ain't ever lose focus
I ain't ever lose hope
I got the drive like a chauffeur
Every take I'm taking over
I'mma make it like I told ya
I'mma make coz I'm supposed to
Momma done raised me with culture
I know to watch for the vultures
Keep your eyes open for snakes
Work till as long as it takes
Push till as long as you got
Get up dust off the hate
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
Back in the office
Stacking retarded figures
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
This go hard
Back in the office
Stacking retarded figures




This go hard
This go hard
