[Intro: 2Pac & Trav] I have no motherf**ing fear I have no fear I have only ambition and I want mine And I will do anything to protect and feed my family And these n***as represent a threat Why I go so hard Ah na na ah na na [Chorus:] For my pride I will go hard I push keys like I'm Mozart Drink lean till I doze off For everyday that I go hard They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard Why I go so hard They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard [Verse 1:] They forgot about them days when I was packing bags for n***as And then I started moving them bags for n***as I graduated to putting bricks in the rental OT [?] pistol in the rental Only know the Trav to smile, they don't know the Trav that frown n***as never help me out, they wasn't there when I was down and out (nooooo) No one to count on Got me smoking bogeys till the stress gone Aye and that's all And n***a that's all me Ima ride for my n***as, hoping I don't die for my n***as Lay a homicide for my n***as Aye just remember that [Chorus:] For my pride I will go hard I push keys like I'm Mozart
Drink lean till I doze off For everyday that I go hard They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard Why I go so hard They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard [Verse 2:] Lost respect for who I look up to I had to grow up see what they up to They don't want to see a n***a grow up They don't want to see a n***a blow up They want to see you stuck in the hood They don't want to see you up in Hollywood Cause I was down while they was up Now I'm up and they is down They don't want to share the light with a n***a They don't want to share the stage with me now Must have had a piece of humble pie Cause ever since these n***as settled down You nobody, until these n***as k** you or you locked up like Bobby I seen this same sh** happen to Rowdy, happen to Stack, that was happen to Chinx What the f** do you think? [Chorus:] For my pride I will go hard I push keys like I'm Mozart Drink lean till I doze off For everyday that I go hard They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard Why I go so hard They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard
