Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get off ya motherfucking ass
It's right now, right now, right here
And we bringing it to you live, COME ON!
Golden state, what... come on, what bitch
New Shit! Ha, come on, yeah Ras Kass blaze that shit up
Xzibit, break it down slam it, jelly roll
Show me a bitch and I'm a slay her like Sarah Michelle Gell-ie
Rap star, trash tellies blow up my sprint celly
Dare me, I tongue Halle Berry's belly
Show her a monster's ball, fuck it you tell me
Platinum, heavy 22 inch perrelli's
Jelly, it gets so ugly it gets scary
Haters act like under-age hoes so what's really-
Can't fuck wit why'all, paging R.Kelly (ooooohhh)
Oh, if the shoe fits buy a matching shirt
Ya nothing take ya face and attach dirt
Catch me and my niggas wit strick-9
Strictly constrict 9 triggas disfigure ya figure
Our figgas got bigger, niggas the same
Menace to society and why'all done made me Kane
Can't extort us faggot, you bust we bust
In God we trust but we paying at dusk, biatch!
[chorus]
Don't you think this shit is for fun (NO!)
Think before you reach for that Gun (Think!)
Look at all the shit that you started (yeah)
You bring heat but we bring it harder (sing!)
La la la la la la la la (Ha!)

[Saafir]
Yella, yizzel, shaft shizza-lean
Fuck what why'all talking about, this shit clean
That's why we filthy rich behind the scenes
Game spitters with helmets and shoulder pads on the hitters
Bullshit so far what this game sent
We here to burn it down open bar entertainment
Taking the work clipping the clientele on raw
Lactose intolerant but I still sell
Game enough to mash on the coach like Sprewell
Don't salt there hoes flows ain't got that sea smell
Overstand under surveillance, Ben Savage-
Can't come to the town terrorizing we been Laden
Been beat heavyweight beefs and went passage
Back to the blockmates and it's safe to unlock cakes
King sizzel makin' bank, shake the spizzle,
We don't make it drizzle we rain in the G-state
[chorus]
Don't you think this shit is for fun (NO!)

[Xzibit]
Feel the adrenaline, feel the rush
The effects of the compound the ammo dump
Doc Dre don't fuck with punks
We all thump like Maximus, stop fucking with us
Take a ride inside the home of hands-on hip-hop
Speak what you believe and hope you don't get shot for it
Ghetto poets, show it if you got one
A hot one, with ass and rap like a shotgun
I can write to the sound of the sunset
Smith & Wesson, I use words as a weapon
Gun sling my dreams I rain supreme
And fiend for the next challenge, knocking you off balance
Look, I been through the worst, avoided the hearst (Survived!)
Starving to death and dying of thirst (alive!)
Here in the flesh, elope with the profoc-
The answer, the solution, the remedy, the anecdote
[chorus]
Don't you think this shit is for fun (NO!)
Think before you reach for that Gun (Think!)
Look at all the shit that you started (yeah)
You bring heat but we bring it harder (Now sing!)
La la la la la la la la (yes)
La la la la la la la la (Sing!)
La la la la la la la la (Ha)
La la la la la la la la (come on)
(X2)
Bounce... Bounce... Bounce... Yeah... Golden State
In the song "Harder," Xzibit and The Golden State Project demonstrates the rugged nature of West Coast hip-hop. The song begins with Xzibit urging listeners to get up and take action, asserting that it's "right now, right here." Then, Golden State Project's Ras Kass takes over and showcases his lyrical prowess with references to popular culture figures like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Halle Berry, and R. Kelly. In his verse, he talks about his luxury lifestyle, his platinum records, fancy cars, and haters who he compares to "under-age hoes."
Saafir's verse takes pride in the independent nature of their music, boasting that they are "game spitters" who don helmets and shoulder pads for protection while taking down competitors. Xzibit's verse picks up the pace, and he uses various metaphors to describe the intensity of his rhymes. He talks about using his words as weapons, gun-slinging his dreams, and fiending for the next challenge. The chorus emphasizes the seriousness of their message, warning their opponents to think before reaching for a gun and reminding them that they bring the heat even harder.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the perception of West Coast hip-hop as violent and aggressive, a narrative that was perpetuated by media depiction in the 90s. The lyrics are hard-hitting and intense, showcasing the artistry and grittiness of the genre.
