One day I was tryin to be myself 
The same day this thug say "You gotta come hard" 
Nigga times is hard I'm tryin hard to make it 
It ain't hard to tell it's hard for me to fake it 
Plus, it's hard to be me, its hard to stop drinkin 
I guess it's hard for hard niggaz to start thinkin 
Pussy MC's stinkin so I can't get hard 
Some, become MC's cause it's hard to get a job 
Hard for you to trust people, you don't trust in God 
Even harder to be the Gods we created to be 
This Western way of life ain't native to me 
Put one nigga in your Pulp Fiction that related to me 
I hated to be, the only race that call our women hoes 
Niggaz, be too hard to say "ho" at the shows 
I rose... like a florist to bring the flavor like a Taurus 
Might not have the murderous verse, but I stay hard to the chorus 
Took this girl to work, she saying, "Have a real job" 
Like that dick you had last night, baby, I work real hard 
Simple motherfuckers tellin me hard is criminal 
Niggaz you thought was hard, you pourin out your liquor for 
Years ago, I thought I was hard, in high school fightin 
Now, I'm the hardest man working in show business 
Handle your business or shut the fuck up

Forever, I ain't gon' be rappin 
Shit'll happen to me, I gotta let niggaz know 
This mark asked me do I know his cousin Jimbo 
Nigga, I don't even know myself 
You want me to get you in 
Jack, I'm trying to get through the do' myself 
Opportunity knocked, but he ain't call 'fore he came 
Yeah, I got a name, but only twenty dollars to it 
Next album you gon' blow, but my ass, you done blew it before 
Being in my video, what's that gonna do for your life? 
Get you some pussy? You should be gettin rump off GP 
Quit that you look like you say I seen you on TV 
I be readin niggaz but readin be makin me sleepy (Hey!) 
So strong am I, A Hundred Styles and Runnin 
Niggaz stuck on one and them-a ran by 
Claimin they fly but they stand-by 
I come truer than a dream, and youse a damn lie 
With that anti-rap, complainin about this and about that 
Sounding bitch like, that ain't gonna make a nigga get right 
I'm number one
