Go Hard
JAY Z Kanye West T-Pain Lyrics

I'm a bad M-a-r-c-y P-r-o-j-e-c-t
I am from Marcy Projects, an area of Brooklyn that is known for being rough and tough.

Ain't no other mother ****** in the rap game harder than me
I am the best rapper in the game and no one can compete with me.

I go hard and get it in like a porn star
I work hard and put in the effort to achieve my goals, just like a porn star puts in the effort during their work.

Follow my moves you wanna make it to the top im on star
If you follow my example and do what I do, you can achieve success like I have.

For new born stars
I am a role model for young artists who are just starting their careers.

Even when the camera stop
I continue to work hard even when the attention is not on me.

Ima hundred million dollar movie handle my cock
I am worth a lot of money and I am skilled at what I do, just like a skilled actor in a movie.

Big homie from the back block
I come from a rough neighborhood and I am respected as a leader there.

When you first learn how to slap box
Even when I was young and learning how to fight, I was already working hard and learning to be the best.

Then you even learn how to chill with the pill
As I got older, I learned how to handle drugs and still be successful.

Or handle the pot bring it back rock
I can even handle illegal activities like drug dealing and still be successful.

Number one rule if you *** get popped
In the illegal activities I participate in, if you get caught, don't talk to the authorities.

Don't cheddar box to the matlocks
Don't give information to the police or become an informant.

Death before dishonor I'ma honor the code they created
I would rather die than break the code of loyalty and honor in my community.

Number 2 ruined it and it might sound rude but yep **** you paid me
Other people have a different approach and might disagree with me, but I do what I do for money.

I drown my pain in porsches
I cope with my emotional pain by buying luxury cars.

I lost my partner to the bullshit
I lost a friend to the negative aspects of our community, such as violence or drugs.

Still tryna hold on to my religion so
Despite the difficult circumstances I face, I am still trying to remain spiritual and faithful to my religious beliefs.

I put a couple diamonds in the crosses
I express my faith by wearing jewelry with precious stones in the shape of religious symbols.

Close your eyes see the darkness
The world I come from is full of darkness and negativity, which I have learned to navigate and overcome.

That's what it's like where I'm from
My upbringing and environment have shaped me into the person I am today and it is not always easy.

No lawyers no doctors
The opportunities for success outside of my neighborhood are scarce and there are no resources or support.

So either I go the hardest
I have to work harder than anyone else to succeed and make something of myself.

Or I could just call this a night
If I don't want to work hard and put in the effort, I could just quit and give up.

on dark nights its like I see better
I use the difficult and challenging times to motivate and push me towards success.

on Dark Knights I'm like Heath Ledger
I am a hero and a symbol of perseverance, just like Heath Ledger's character in The Dark Knight.

Even if I overdose on drugs
Even if I am self-destructive and engage in dangerous behavior, I will always be resilient and strong.

Motherfuckers can't kill my buzz
No one can bring me down or affect my positive attitude and motivation.

Wait I ain't done
I still have more to say and more to achieve.

Ima freestyle this Khaled let it run
I am talented and skilled enough to improvise and perform a song on the spot.

What's the hardest county in the Yayo
Which county in the San Francisco Bay Area is the most difficult and rough?

Cause ima go harder then they go
I am confident that I can work harder and achieve more success than anyone else in that difficult county.

I'ma go harder than Baltimore
I am confident that I can work harder and achieve more success than anyone else in Baltimore.

Philly gone say they can't touch the boy
People from Philadelphia will acknowledge that I am untouchable and unmatched in my skill and talent as a rapper.

Where you at Duval?
Where are the people from Duval County, Florida?

Ima go harder than you all
I am confident that I can work harder and achieve more success than anyone else from Duval County, Florida.

Harder than New York
I am confident that I can work harder and achieve more success than anyone else in New York City.

Turn the pro tunes in the booth off
Stop playing professionally produced music tracks in the recording studio, I will come up with something better on my own.

Ima go harder than Ye go
I am confident that I can work harder and achieve more success than Kanye West.

And Ye go hard
Even though Kanye West is talented and works hard, I work even harder and achieve more success than he does.

That's baby bro
I am like a younger brother to Kanye West, but I am still more successful and work harder than him.

Put some more beat on that joint
Add more music to the song, I am not done yet.

If you could you would get rid of me
If my competition could, they would eliminate me because I am such a strong and talented rapper.

what you gonna do when a nigga got to go hard
What are you going to do when I work harder and achieve more success than you?

but i wont let you get to me
Even though I have haters and competition, I will not let their negative energy affect me.

you should already figure imma go hard
You should already know that I will always work hard and achieve more success than everyone else.

if you were as real as me
If you were as honest and authentic as I am, you would understand my perspective.

you would never let another nigga step in yo yard
You would never allow anyone else to take what is yours or infringe upon your territory.

makin money aint shit to me
Even though I am successful and make a lot of money, that is not my main motivation or priority in life.

this in my veins and it gets to my heart
Rap music and my passion for it is a part of me and I am deeply connected to it.

so i am, i will, i gots to go
I am determined to work hard and achieve more success.

you got another way to live you gots to go on
If you have another approach or lifestyle, you can choose to go that way, but I will continue to work hard in rap music.

i am gettin it in until the end i got to go, go, go, go hard
I will continue to work hard and achieve more success until the end of my career and life.

i aint ever been scurred
I have never been afraid or intimidated by anyone or anything.

never been a type to bite my words
I have always been honest and direct in my language and never held back or censored myself.

when i came up ya'll gave me shit
When I was first starting out, people doubted me and did not believe in my talent.

now im gunna make ya'll eat them terds
Now that I am successful and accomplished, those same people who doubted me will have to acknowledge and pay respect to my talent.

always said what the f**k i felt
I have always been honest and direct with my language and never held back or censored myself.

gon head spit that murder i wrote
Go ahead and rap your best lyrics, but mine will still be better and more powerful.

man i dont care what what you felt f**k you nigga i know im dope
I do not care about your opinion or what you think, I know that I am talented and exceptional in my craft.

dope like im comin to get my all
My talent is exceptional and unmatched, as I put my all into my craft.

felt like i had to play the fly on the wall
I felt like I had to observe and learn from my environment before asserting myself and my talent.

felt like niggas was stuntin on me
I felt like other rappers were trying to show off or outdo me in my early career.

funny how im flyer then them all
It is ironic that those same rappers who tried to stunt on me are now less successful and talented than I am.

now im at the top aint know where to go now
Now that I am successful and accomplished, I am running out of goals to pursue and new heights to reach.

instead of me she gon go down
Instead of me falling or losing my success, the competition will fall and lose their success.

maybe i would of slowed down if i knew what i know now
If I had known how successful and accomplished I would become, I might have slowed down or taken a different approach earlier in my career.

im scooby i know im dumb
I am not the smartest or most intellectual rapper, but my talent and skills make up for it.

it cud get f**kin old but its good im young
I may become repetitive or stale over time, but I am still young and have a lot of potential for growth and development.

but my heart get cold as the hood im from
My environment and upbringing have made me tough and resilient, but sometimes it can make me cold-hearted as well.

tell me what it take to be numba one
What does it take to be the best and most successful rapper?

i guess its gon be what its gon be
Ultimately, achieving success in rap music is determined by one's talent, effort, and luck.

but heres one thing ya'll got to hear
Here is something that everyone needs to listen to and understand.

imma tell you like george bush told me
I am going to tell you something that former President George Bush once told me.

f**k ya'll niggas im out of here
I am leaving to pursue other opportunities and success elsewhere, I am done with this group of people or community.
