It Ain't Hard
Notorious B.I.G. & Nas Lyrics

Now, what y'all wanna do?
What are your desires and aspirations?

Wanna be ballers? Shot-callers? Brawlers?
Do you want to be successful, influential, and powerful?

Who be dippin' in the Benz with the spoilers
Who drives luxury cars with accessories?

On the low from the Jake in the Taurus
Avoiding police and staying under the radar

Tryin' to get my hands on some Grants like Horace
Striving to acquire wealth and financial stability

Yeah living the raw deal, three course meals spaghetti, fettuccine, and veal
Despite facing harsh circumstances, enjoying luxurious meals

But still, everything's real in the field
The challenges and struggles faced are authentic

And what you can't have now, leave in your will
Unattainable desires should be passed on for future generations

But don't knock me for tryin' to bury
Don't criticize me for attempting to accumulate wealth

Seven zeros, over in Rio Dijanery
Attaining seven-figure wealth and enjoying a luxurious lifestyle in Rio de Janeiro

Ain't nobody's hero, but I wanna be heard
Not a role model, but striving for recognition and influence

On your Hot 9-7 everyday, that's my word
Being played on popular radio stations constantly

Swimmin' in women wit' they own condominiums
Surrounded by independent women who own their own properties

Five plus Fives, who drive Millineums
Attractive women who drive expensive cars

It's all about the Benjamins, what?
The focus is on making money and achieving financial success

I get a fifty pound bag of Euk for the mutts
Acquiring a large quantity of drugs for profit

Five carats on my hands wit the cuts
Wearing expensive diamond jewelry

In something European chromed out with a clutch, what
Driving a European luxury car with customized features

Drinkin' malt liquor, drivin' a broke Viga
Consuming inexpensive alcohol and driving a cheap vehicle

I'm with Mo' sippers, watched by gold diggers
Surrounded by individuals who enjoy expensive drinks while attracting materialistic partners

Rocking Girbaud denims with gold zippers
Wearing stylish jeans with golden accents

Lost your touch, we kept ours, poppin' Cristals
While you lost your appeal, we remained successful and continue to celebrate with expensive champagne

Freakin' the three-quarter reptiles
Showing off expensive reptile skin accessories

Enormous cream, forest green Benz jeep
Having substantial wealth and driving a luxurious green Mercedes-Benz SUV

For my team so while you sleep I'ma scheme
Working to secure financial success for my team while others are unaware

We see through, that's why nobody never gon' believe you
We can see past deception, so others won't trust your words

You should do what we do, stack chips like Hebrews
Follow our example and accumulate wealth like Jewish people

Don't let the melody intrigue you, 'cause I leave you
Don't be enticed by superficial elements, as I will surpass and defeat you

I'm only here for that green paper with the eagle
My main focus and motivation is acquiring money, specifically US currency

I'm strictly tryin' to cop those colossal-sized Picasso's
I am determined to purchase large-scale artworks by Pablo Picasso

And have papi flip coke outside Delgado's
Arranging for someone to sell cocaine near Delgado's establishment

Tienda, with cash flowin' like Sosa
Running a store with significant cash flow comparable to the infamous drug lord, Sosa

And a Latin chick transportin' in the chocha
Having a Latina woman involved in smuggling illegal substances

Stampedin' over, pop Mo's, never sober
Dominating the scene, consuming expensive champagne, and always being intoxicated

Flexin' Range Rovers dealin' weight by Minnesota
Showing off luxurious Range Rover vehicles while trafficking illegal drugs in Minnesota

Avoidin' narcs with camcorders and Chevy Novas
Evading undercover law enforcement officers equipped with video recording devices and driving inconspicuous vehicles

Stash in the building with this chick named Willona
Hiding illegal goods in a specific location with the help of a woman named Willona

From Daytona, when I was young I wanted to bone her
Having desired a sexual encounter with a woman from Daytona since a young age

But now I only hit chicks who win beauty pageants
Engaging in sexual activities solely with women who have won beauty competitions

Trickin' and takin' me skiin' at the Aspens, uh
Being financially generous and enjoying skiing trips at prestigious locations like Aspen

Gangsta mental, stay poppin' Cristal
Maintaining a mindset associated with being a gangster and frequently opening bottles of expensive champagne

Pack a black pistol in the Ac' coupe that's dark brown
Carrying a black handgun in a dark brown Acura coupe

Pinkie ringin', gondolas with the man singin'
Wearing a pinkie ring and cruising in gondolas while listening to male vocalists

Italian music down the river with your chick clingin'
Listening to Italian music while sailing along the river with a woman clinging to you

To my bizzalls, player, you mad false
To my friends, you're fake and pretending to be something you're not

Actin' hard when you as pussy as RuPaul's
Putting on a tough persona when you're as cowardly as RuPaul

Wanna bumble with the Bee, huh?
Do you want to have a conflict with me?

Bzzz, throw a hex on the whole family
Causing a curse to affect an entire family

Dressed in all black like The Omen
Wearing all-black clothing like the characters in the horror film 'The Omen'

Have your friends singin', 'this is for my homie'
Causing your associates to sing in memory of you after your demise

And you know me from makin' niggas so sick
Being well-known for causing envy and jealousy in others

Floss in my Six, with the 'Lex on the wrist
Flaunting wealth while driving a luxury BMW 6 Series car and wearing a Rolex watch

If it's murder, you know she wrote it
If there is evidence of a crime, you know I am responsible

German Ruger for yo' ass, bitch, deepthroat it
A German-made firearm is intended to intimidate and threaten you

Know you wanna feel the womb 'cause it's platinum-coated
You desire to be with a wealthy individual due to the allure of their luxurious lifestyle

Take your pick, got a firearm you shoulda toted, suck a dick
Choose your weapon wisely, as I have a gun you should have carried, and also insultingly suggest you perform a vulgar act

All that bullshit you kick, player-hatin' from the sidelines
All the lies and negativity you spread while being envious of others' success

Get your own shit, why you ridin' mine?
Acquire your own belongings instead of trying to take what is mine

I'm a Goodfella kinda lady
I possess qualities similar to those depicted in the film 'Goodfellas'

Stash 380's in Mercedes, Puffy, hold me down, baby!
Concealing firearms in a Mercedes vehicle while being supported by Puff Daddy (Sean Combs)

Only female in my crew and I kick shit like a nigga do
I am the only woman in my group, but I possess the same aggressive behavior as men

Pull the trigger too, fuck you
I am not hesitant to use violence against you, expressing contempt

I been had skills, Cristal spill
I have possessed exceptional abilities for a long time, often celebrating with expensive champagne

Hide bills in Brazil, about a mill', the ice grill
Concealing large amounts of money in Brazil, approximately one million dollars, while displaying a cold and intimidating facial expression

Make it hard to figure me, liquor be kickin' me
It's difficult to understand my true nature, as alcohol affects my behavior

In my asshole, undercover, Donnie Brasco
I behave in a deceitful and secretive manner, similar to an undercover law enforcement officer like Donnie Brasco

Left my East Coast girl the Bentley to twirl
I gave my girlfriend from the East Coast a luxury Bentley car to enjoy

My West Coast shorty push the chrome 740
My girlfriend from the West Coast drives a luxurious BMW 740 with chrome accents

Rockin' Redman and Naughty, oh, where my kitty cat?
Listening to Redman and Naughty by Nature, while also inquiring about the whereabouts of a woman's genitalia

Half a brick of yay in the bra where her titties at
Concealing a significant amount of cocaine in a woman's bra, specifically where her breasts are

And I'm livin' that for life, we push weight
This lifestyle is what I will continue to embrace, as we are involved in drug trafficking

Fuck the state pen, fuck hoes at Penn State
Disregarding the notion of being incarcerated and engaging in sexual activities with women associated with Penn State University

Listen close, it's Francis, the Praying Mantis
Pay attention, as it's Francis, comparing oneself to a patient and calculating predator like a Praying Mantis

Attack with the MAC, my left hand spit
Launching an assault with a MAC-10 submachine gun, using the left hand to pull the trigger

Right hand grip on the whip for the smooth getaway
Using the right hand to hold the steering wheel of a car for a successful escape

Player haters, get away or my lead will spray
Individuals who envy and resent me should retreat, or else they will face gunfire

Squeeze off 'til I'm empty, don't tempt me
Firing bullets until the firearm is empty, cautioning others not to provoke or challenge me

Only to Hell I send thee, all about the Benjis, what
The only place you will go is Hell, as my focus is solely on acquiring money and wealth
