Harder
On the block man they tell me to go, I go harder
They ball, I ball harder
They move, I move smarter
I want it all until the day that I die, I don't barter
They blast, I blast harder
They grind, we grind harder

First Verse:
Ain't no chumps in my chain
Ain't no creese in my jeans
Ain't no love lost, I put paws and do throw then things
Ain't no strap in my jeans
That's just me how I hang
Ask your wifey about me and she'd say the same
Walk the talk, spit that game
Pay the tab, keep the change
Rep the hood code of silence, they ask speak no names
Take the Lords name in vain
Ain't no tears in my pain
Form the block to the board room, my dudes yeah we reign
We reign forever, the code is stick together
We mash even though the forecast is stormy weather
It's nothing, I mean a few rainy days
I mean it's how we was raised
Most succumb to the pressure but it's how we was made
Were gifted, like the wheat when it's sifted
Through the muck and the mire there heads down and we lifted
Now my people is winning, I swear we got it honest
Grind hard through the night, same thing in the morning
Chorus

Second Verse:
The pride of the city, the toast of the town
It's love when I come back man the streets is proud
It's the return of the real, RIP to the clowns
The counterfeits must cease when the real comes around
I'm the realest to do it, who's your favorite I'm iller
I taught these young boys the difference in platinum and silver
A couple of dollar bills, on my ladies chin chilla
Open your coat and move your body like a caterpillar
Let's get it popping, part like it's are last
Tomorrow isn't promised and yesterdays in the past
The moments hear let’s cease it, the weeds is steady creeping
Trying to choke out the crop, we sowed it so we reaped it
I'm still in awe of this thing, I mean how far we have came
Many soldiers have fallen like a moth to the flame
They came heated in battle but left defeated in shame
Most of these boys is lame and I'm not saying no names
Target on my back, red dot on my cap, ladies on my sack
All because they like the way I ride this track yeah
City gave me love so I throw it back, did it for respect
So they cut the check, diamonds on my neck yeah
Me I'm from the earth, me I put in work, watch them vultures lurk
Praying on me until the day I'm in that dirt yeah
Real ones never die, real ones multiply, whit now why would I
Look down on you, nah, nah, we ain't eye to eye
Chorus
