Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard
Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard
Imma go hard, hard to the core
Hard like motherfuckin liquid swords
Harder than worldwide stadium tours
I am the future, delorian doors
Will he survive? Never deceased
I don't think I'm ever gonna rest in peace
Imma kill the game, leave the rest in pieces
Now everybody want my recipe
Tell a jealous chicken I don't know what the beef is
I'm just making money for my grankids' nieces
Imma work hard, that's my thesis
This beat is a shit, feces
Pardon me ma'am, Imma go dumb
Small.i.am, I'm complicated, hard.I.am
I end the beginning, then start it again
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard
Oh my goodness, this beat is so hard
You can get that, or you can get this
You can call it demon, Imma call it jesus
You can get a curse, you can get a cross
You can go to work, or you can be the boss
Imma be the owner, be a thought Donor
Imma go hard, like a motherfuckin boner
Imma make a beat to put the people in a coma
You can be a geek or be a rolling stoner
I woke up in the morning,
Hard like morning wood in the morning
Woke up thinking about microphoning
E.T. own the mic phone the homeland
I wait out like NASA, I'm way over here I done past ya
I get stacks of cash, you get cashews, I go hard, statues
Uh
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
Now let me take this time to say
I don't wanna lead you on
You can go hard or you can go home
Well I, I know it is alot to take
I don't wanna lead you on
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard
Wait a minute, Imma make it a little harder
Imma make it a little harder
Give it to you a little harder
This is hard
Hard like a rock n roll
Time bombs's ticking, explode
Baby, this is dynamo
Better move back now
It's bout to blow
Hard like Geometry, and Trigonometry
This is crazy
Psychology
Get it baby
I'm about to win
Watch out now
I'm going in
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard or you can go home
You can go hard

β@@michaeltoth7526one feels like a brutal physical beat down, and the other is completely destroys my psyche and causes me to cringe so deeply into myself. By the end of that song I feel like the thumbnail of the dude with the longest nails on Earth. Dirty, twisted, and coiled.
THE leaves me on the concrete with unseeing eyes and blood coming out of my ears.
One is just more physically in your face while the other is more molten and seeps in your pores.
I feel like I can laugh at how bad this song is anyways.
Let me put it this way... I showed my sister this song to show her one of the worst songs I ever heard in my life, but didn't show her Drake Bell's bc I didn't even want that sht in my algorithm or subject her to THAT type of physical discomfort. π π it's not a funny kind of discomfort. It's the "my neck hairs are standing up" kind of discomfort. So much less funny, and therefore has zero value.
And that's how I realized for sure... that Drake Bell's cover is actually the worst. π

@user-cz8vt1vj4s
The commitment to making every second of this song so excruciatingly terrible is what makes this as a whole a masterpiece

@82youtubeshared
Looooolππ
@Maxarcc
When that Mick Jagger part came flopping in, the song ascended from a stinker to an absolute masterpiece of a stinker.
@alextorres7655
It's crazy how the coolest and most prestigious artist on this track is the one that made it suck more than anyone else.
@evajaneryan3746
