Harder
Lion Babe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gimme some more
Gimme some more
Gimme some more (gimme, gimme)

Need to take it to the left, shake it like some ice
Got me cold, cold, baby, you be kryptonite
Shake it, shake it to the left, take it to the right
On your own runway, nobody know the price

Gimme some more (gimme, gimme)
Gimme some more
Let me see you give it to me little harder
Gimme some more (ohh)
Gimme some more
Let me see you give it to me little harder

Need to take it to the left, shake it like some ice
Got me cold, cold, baby, you be kryptonite
Shake it, shake it to the left, take it to the right
On your own runway, nobody know the price

Oh, yeah, oh, we burnin' it up
Oh yeah, oh, we burnin' it up

Watch out, OD on the drug
Then I make 'em wanna bug 'cause I run every club
DJs wanna spin it, bring it back and wanna rub
All this vibe, then I get 'em and I kill em in a flood
In the streets, me and LION BABE'll give 'em little buzz
and I'm sayin' ain't nobody really doin' what he does
I be causin' them to black 'til they fillin' up a tub
'Til they sweat and they dancin' and they pullin' out the plug
And there's blood on the dance floor 'til the last breath
to the rug to the damn walls, watch your step
stop and prep, stomp on the asphalt
Hands in the air, get ready for the onslaught
bounce and shake, everybody get the floor up
(Salute) soon as you see the LION BABE walk up
Next level everythin' 'til we pull your card up
Mami let me see you give it to me little harder (yeah)

Harder, yeah, push harder, yeah
Push harder, yeah, push harder, yeah
Push harder, uh, push harder, oh
Push harder, yeah, push harder, yeah

It's harder to be, harder to breathe
Harder to see, harder to leave, harder for me
So I'm gonna need to get down, Buss-a-Buss got me open
bounce and shake, give it to me little harder
Double take when I throw it out of order
Thunder from my thighs, recognize, all the eyes
Looking at my black girl tribe, no surprise
Still we rise, ancient ties realize
Always gonna push it, got my ribbon in the sky
Everybody fight us, but we shine in the night
Grind in the night, so fine in the night
Let me see you give it to me little harder
Let it flow like a mermaid underwater
Here we go, can you feel it takin' over?
Flip Mode with the law, take the order

Need to take it to the left, shake it like some ice
Got me cold, cold, baby, you be kryptonite
Shake it, shake it to the left, take it to the right
On your own runway, nobody know the price

Gimme some more (gimme, gimme)
Gimme some more
Let me see you give it to me little harder
Gimme some more (oh)
Gimme some more
Let me see you give it to me little harder (yeah)

Harder, yeah, push harder, yeah
Push harder, yeah, push harder, yeah




Push harder, uh, push harder, oh
Push harder, yeah, push harder, yeah
