Go Hard
Redman Lyrics

Ay yo, I hop out the car
As I exit the vehicle, women immediately come over to me because they have heard and appreciate my music.

Women gather 'round like "Oh my God, he's in my iPod"
Women are excited to meet me because they listen to my music frequently.

Peace to the god, sayonara bitches
Acknowledging and bidding farewell to ladies as I move on.

There's no second time around like Shalamar
Shalamar's song is about not giving someone a second chance, and I agree with that sentiment.

Hit the New York bar, high on the broccoli
Smoking weed before visiting a bar in New York City.

Then hit Queens for a queen like King Jaffe
After visiting a bar in NYC, I go to Queens to find a woman like King Jaffe's queen in the movie Coming to America.

Sixteens I go off like Biz Markie
My verses are as impressive as Biz Markie's.

Sixteen rounds, I buck like Milwaukee
I shoot my gun sixteen times, with the force of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Come on ride, it sounds like homicide
We are driving and listening to violent music, and it sounds like someone is getting murdered.

All you marks will know it's the other guys
People who act inferior or less cool than me are easily recognized by everyone else.

Gettin' fly while rap is in danger
I'm having a good time while recognizing that the state of the rap genre may be in trouble.

Six guns, one man, thirty six chambers
I have six pieces but could take on an entire gang with my marksmanship.

Brick city on board like a campaign
Brick City, my hometown of Newark, is supporting me like a political campaign.

And we ain't drinkin' 'less Don is the champagne
We are only going to drink Don Perignon champagne.

Got flows more looser than your spare change
My rapping technique is more flexible and unstructured than the loose coins in your pocket.

Look dummy, we ain't never in the same lane
Don't compare me to anyone else in the game, I'm incomparable.

Hey, the same chick I tell you you cock blockin'
A woman who has previously prevented me from hooking up with someone else is now interested herself.

That's the same chick you take to go shoppin'
Despite the aforementioned situation occurring, I still go shopping with her.

Young niggas run on the vet, I bhop em
I evade young guys trying to steal my Corvette by jumping (b-hopping) around them.

Leave 'em talkin' through the box like Troutman
I am so good that I leave my opponents as just a voice talking to me through a speaker box, which happens in the movie 'Computer Love' starring Zapp and Roger Troutman.

That's why a nigga act so hood
My tough exterior is put on to intimidate those who want to steal from or harm me.

I roll up looking at you like "what"
I give a look of confusion and asking 'what' when I encounter someone who is not in my inner circle.

I can't lie but I like to floss
I like to show off my material possessions, even if it seems arrogant.

R8, feet on the gas pedal like *skrrrt*
I am driving an Audi R8 and showing off its power by quickly accelerating.

New Airs on, pimp is in motion
I am wearing new sneakers as I walk and give off a pimp-like demeanor.

Hot chicks love it how I kick it and coach 'em
Women are attracted to me because I can give them advice and guidance like a coach would a player.

They'll do whatever, I'm richer than both 'em
My confidence and wealth put me in a higher position of power to women than the two mentioned prior.

Vegas, I may get eleven on a ocean
I am wealthy enough to gamble my money in Las Vegas and possibly lose the amount of $11,000 on a cruise ship (ocean).

Whoa, you can't do it then allow me
If others cannot do what I can, then hand over the task to me.

I show y'all a real cannon, body
I display my abilities and skills with great confidence and force.

I yell "Action" no Slater's clappin'
I give the sign to start filming without the need for a director or cue to start.

It only sound like Savion shoes was tappin'
My performance is so impressive and skilled that the only sound in the room is that of someone tapping his or her foot.

Yo, how you gonna find another nigga like me?
I am unique and someone else that resembles me is impossible to find.

Even my inner-like me doesn't like me
I am disliked even by my own subconscious.

I'm so cocky haters wanna mock me
My confidence is so high that it provokes my haters to try and bring me down.

But they styles sloppy like aisles in a swap meet
My haters' own styles are not nearly as impressive or well put together as items found in a swap meet.

Your barbershops couldn't fade it
Barbershops and the people found within them cannot match the impressiveness of my rap style.

Finally the weakest links get eliminated
The people with the least amount of talent will eventually be removed or forced out.

All you young boys that yellin' out "We made it"
Young people who overrate their level of success and declare they have 'made it' are not considering the competition they will face.

How you gonna create what I elevated
You cannot surpass my level of success or creative ability.

I'm going hard
I am actively pursuing my goals and demonstrating my full ability.

Ba-dum tss!
Onomatopoeic sound of a drum hit and cymbal crash, usually heard after someone tells a joke. Redman says this to end the song on a comedic note.
