Hard

[00:24.81] Teacher, teacher I don't understand what you even wanna talk for
[00:29.31] Unless an interpreter's gon' come up there and talk for me
[00:32.79] Because we don't speak the same language
[00:35.61] You say shit like "take up a trade and your thoughts bore me"
[00:38.41] You don't teach me nothing, you just talk towards me
[00:40.25] I'm gon' need your assessment and fast
[00:42.02] Look around you, do I look anything like the rest of your class?
[00:45.60] Can't you see that I'm special?
[00:47.29] I don't act like these fucking crumb snatchers
[00:49.29] I don't even breathe like 'em
[00:50.85] I was born with my lungs collapsing
[00:52.57] I walked right up to the drug dealer in my class and asked him
[00:55.40] "How did you get such a bad bitch?"
[00:57.03] He said "it was hard and the best ones are the hardest to get"
[01:00.25] And I went on to see the world, and he went on and started the trick
[01:03.55] And now when I see his girl, she be on my dick
[01:06.74] I guess fucking the baddest bitches around wasn't hard as I thought
[01:11.46] Man, what the fuck was I thinking? (Get Money)
[01:15.36] Jewelry and cars (cars, cars, cars)
[01:19.51] Achieving the highest level of success ain't as hard as I thought (top the world)
[01:25.02] What the fuck was I thinking? (I was drunk)
[01:28.10] I was drunk or I was lost (You was lost) (Yeah)
[01:31.30] My people said it would be hard (Hard, Hard)
[01:34.50] My teacher said it would be hard (Hard, Hard) (It's gon' be hard)
[01:37.65] What the fuck was she thinking?
[01:40.47] Why did I listen to y'all?
[01:43.52] What the fuck was I thinking?
[01:46.75] My finest hour is here, this is what I see in my prayers
[01:49.66] This is me, though I'm facing and all of my fears
[01:52.34] Making all my enemies look in the mirror
[01:54.30] And see the meme of the Jordan face with all of the tears
[01:57.07] What most of you analysts ignore, it's my explosive animal allure
[02:00.57] I went the way to get in the way of my wife planning the divorce
[02:03.54] Handled it and came back more talented than all these rappers
[02:06.08] Though I'm DiCaprio, all they have on me is the awards
[02:08.48] I'm a Steinway grand piano, they're Casios, I will kindly pass them the torch
[02:12.54] The day that one of them are to hold a candle to my corpse
[02:16.00] I'll put a hand on your whore, even if she ain't my type
[02:17.84] And this song is inspired by Broadway play called Hamilton I saw that changed my life
[02:22.18] Right away, so my next move is to either scream write a movie or write a play
[02:26.59] I said fucking the baddest bitches around wasn't hard as I thought
[02:31.44] Man, what the fuck was I thinking? (Get Money)
[02:35.56] Jewelry and cars (cars, cars, cars)
[02:39.48] Achieving the highest level of success ain't as hard as I thought (top the world)
[02:44.75] What the fuck was I thinking? (I was drunk)
[02:48.05] I was drunk or I was lost (You was lost) (Yeah)
[02:51.33] My people said it would be hard (Hard, Hard)
[02:54.42] My teacher said it would be hard (Hard, Hard) (It's gon' be hard)
[02:57.75] What the fuck was she thinking?
[03:00.54] Why did I listen to y'all?
[03:19.04] I'm looking like the black Bond in Africa
[03:21.61] Hotel room look like a beautiful crime scene, in fact it's a
[03:24.76] Spectacular Halle Berry, Vivica massacre
[03:27.21] Left behind by a serial bachelor
[03:29.25] Fall back, y'all, I really don't fall back enough
[03:31.21] You're not gon' not sound soft to us
[03:33.36] The shotgun will throw a box of black balls at ya like Count Chocula
[03:37.02] That last line, I was just on my Pharoahe Monch
[03:39.27] Rappers, kneel before me like I'm trying to prepare a pun
[03:42.31] I'll cut your body up and put it in two different cars
[03:44.59] Put it in the river, have you swimming in a pair of trunks
[03:46.67] Momma asking when I'm coming to the church
[03:48.53] My little brother asking for the Aston
[03:50.31] I threw the keys to him like I'm fronting up some work (Ha, good looking, Nickle)
[03:53.31] I used to not be a trendy guy
[03:55.01] Now I probably got more pairs of Balmain jeans than Wale and Envy got
[03:58.91] Ah, somebody pinch me
[04:00.58] Pardon me
[04:16.58] I learned that fucking the baddest bitches around wasn't hard as I thought
[04:21.70] Man, what the fuck was I thinking? (Get Money)
[04:25.81] Jewelry and cars (cars, cars, cars)
[04:29.77] Achieving the highest level of success ain't as hard as I thought (top the world)
[04:35.11] What the fuck was I thinking? (I was drunk)
[04:38.52] I was drunk and I was lost
[04:42.02] And you know what else
[04:44.10] Everybody ask me just because I'm a lyricist in this business
[04:47.54] How come I haven't gone broke yet?
[04:49.65] I tell 'em it's cause I'm the flyest backpacker ever
[04:52.42] I'm flyer than Mos Def in a Drumpf tower surrounded by four chefs
[04:56.21] Fixing him some salmon croquettes with Kendrick, Cole and Kweli
[04:59.90] In their dinner clothes, try me, you and your crew will bleed
[05:03.01] Y'all bums ain't shot for the stars since New Years Eve
[05:05.70] Nothing was given to me
[05:07.40] I had to go upside heads just to get upside hills
[05:09.97] Never over the hill though, so I never strike when the iron is hot
[05:12.87] I strike whenever the fuck I feel
[05:15.12] I eat what the fuck I kill
[05:16.67] I got this way from not being allowed to eat dinner
[05:19.07] If you knew how much I've lost, you'd have no problem with me winning
[05:22.11] How many times could I be reinvented?
[05:24.23] Money is the deadlier of the five venoms, in my denim
[05:27.16] Definitively got a widen 'em, garages with cars in 'em
[05:30.51] Hanging out in bars to have menages with bartenders
[05:33.03] God was an artist and Jesus was a carpenter
[05:35.57] They put me together like an easel in the darkness of hell
[05:38.49] And lost it and left me some loose screws, but
[05:40.75] These are the nails to your coffin
[05:42.03] These are the folk tales of a starving artist
[05:44.43] Battling demons through his notepad like Adam and Eve eating kale in the garden
[05:48.11] Flying private away from all charges
