Harder Than You Think

"Harder Than You Think"

Yo, Chuck, whats the move, man?

I was on my way up here to the studio, you know what Im sayin?

And this brother stopped me and asked me

Yo, whats up with that brother, Chuckie D, he swear he nice

I said, Yo, the brother dont swear he nice

He knows hes nice, you know what Im sayin?

So, Chuck, I got a feeling youre turning into a Public Enemy, man

Now remember that night you was kickin to me

On the way out to L.A. Lounge in Queens

While we was in the car on our way to the shot

Well, yo, right now, kick the bass for em brothers

What goes on?

Rollin stones of the rap game not braggin

Lips bigger than jagger , not saggin

Spell it backwards

Im a leave it at that..

That aint got nothin to do with rap

Check the facts expose those cats

Who pose as heros and take advantage of blacks

Your governments gangster so cut the crap

A war goin on so where you at?

Fight the power comes great responsiblity

F the police but whos stoppin you from killin me?

Disasters , fiascos over a loop by pe

If its an i instead of we Believin tv

Spittin riches , *******, and this new thing about snitches

Watch them asses move the masses switches

System dissed them but barely missed her

My soul intention to save my brothers and sisters

Get up Hard...just like that

Get up Hard...just like that

Get up Hard...just like that

Get up Hard...just like that

Yeah, thats right, Chuck, man, thats what you gotta do

You gotta tell them just like that, you know what Im sayin?

Cause, yo, man, let me tell you a little something, man

These brothers runnin around hard hatin

They get a little jealous, you know what Im sayin?

Just like that, you know they try to bring you down with em

But, yo, Chuck, you gotta tell em just like that

Screamin gangsta 20 years later

Of course endorsed while consciousness faded

New generations believing them fables

Gangster boogie on two turntables

Show no love so its easy to hate it

Desecrated while the coroner waited

Any given sunday so where yall rate it?

Wit slavery, lynching , and them drugs infiltrated

Im like that doll chuckie , baby

Keep comin back to live love life like i'm crazy

Keep it movin risin to the top

Doug fresh clean livin you dont stop

Revolution means change

Dont look at me strange

So i cant repeat what other rappers be sayin

You dont stand for something

You fall for anything

Harder than you think

Its a beautiful thing

Get up Hard...just like that

Get up Hard...just like that

Get up Hard...just like that

Get up Hard...just like that

Yeah, thats right, Chuck, man, thats what you gotta do

You gotta tell them just like that, you know what Im sayin?

Cause, yo, man, let me tell you a little something, man

These brothers runnin around hard hatin

They get a little jealous, you know what Im sayin?

Just like that, you know they try to bring you down with em

But, yo, Chuck, you gotta tell em just like that

So its time to leave you a preview

So you too can review what we do

Thank you for lettin us be ourself

So dont mind me if i repeat myself

These simple lines be good for your health

To keep them crime rhymes on the shelf

Live life love like you just dont care

Bring the noise its the moment they fear
