Harder Than You Think

Yo Chuck what's the move man

I was on my way up here to the studio

You know what I'm sayin

And this brother stopped me and asked me

Yo what's up with that brother Chuckie D

He swear he nice

I said Yo the brother don't swear he nice

He knows hes nice you know what I'm sayin

So Chuck

I got a feeling you're 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

And let em know what goes on

Rolling Stones of the rap game not braggin

Lips bigger than Jagger not saggin

Spell it backwards I'ma leave it at that

That ain't got nothin' to do with rap

Check the facts expose those cats

Who pose as heroes take advantage of blacks

Your governments gangster so cut the crap

A war goin' on so where yall at

By the power comes great responsibility

F the police but whos stoppin' you from killin' me

Disasters fiascoes over a loop by PE

If it's I instead of we believe in TV

Spittin' riches b**ches this new thing about snitches

Watch them asses move those em masses switches

System dissed them but barely missed her

My sole intentions to save my brothers and sisters

Hard get up just like that

Hard get up just like that

Hard get up just like that

Hard get up just like that

Yeah that's right Chuck man that's what you gotta do

You gotta tell them just like that you know what I'm sayin'

Cause let me tell you a little something man

We right these runnin around hard hatin

They get a little jealous you know what I'm sayin

Just like that as like bring you down

But yo Chuck you gotta tell em just like that

Screamin gangsta 20 years later

Of course endorsed while consciousness faded

New generations believin' them fables

Gangsta boogie on two turntables

Show no love so it's easy to hate it

Desecrated while the coroner waited

Any given Sunday so where yall rate it

With slavery lynching and them *** infiltrated

I'm like that dawg 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 don't stop

Revolution means change don't look at me strange

So I can't repeat what other rappers be sayin'

If you don't stand for something you fall for anything

Harder than you think it's a beautiful thing

Hard get up just like that

Hard get up just like that

Hard get up just like that

Hard get up just like that

Yeah that's right Chuck man that's what you gotta do

You gotta tell them just like that you know what I'm sayin'

Cause let me tell you a little something man

We right runnin' around hard hatin

They get a little jealous you know what I'm sayin

Just like that as like bring you down

But yo Chuck you gotta tell em just like that

So it's time to leave you a preview

So you too can review what we do

20 years in this business how you sell soul gee wiz

People bear witness

Thank you for lettin us be ourself

So don't mind me if I repeat myself

These simple lines be good for your health

To keep them crime rhymes on the shelf

Live love life like you just don't care

5000 leaders never scared

Bring the noise it's the moment they fear

Get up still a beautiful idea

Get up throw your hands in the air

Get up and show no fear

Get up if yall really care
