XV - Go Hard Or Go Home lyrics

[Verse One]: I'm standing mighty high like a rising escalator They swore it was a hoax when they saw me in the paper Smiling to haters, middle finger waved up Birthday party caked up, none of this is made up Gonna ride to the top in Willy Wonka's elevator Where we ain't only pressing up This is full court pressure and I bet ya we ain't letting up Hit a slot machine if you wanna press your luck I pull up On any cat like a cab Take all that he has then pull off like a scab Yeah, and you better make it fast Have Keith Sweat-ing bullets if I'm gon' make it last I leave very little It's done so well that I'll get you well done No pink in the middle Turn around and say, "Gee, I'm in a pickle." Throw a rock in the water, see the whole sea ripple n***a [Hook]: Go hard or go home I'm shooting for the top I'm aiming for the throne And I ain't gonna stop till I get what I want So make that beat knock cause I'm getting in my zone They say, "X" Go hard or go home I'm shooting for the top I'm aiming for the throne And I ain't gonna stop till I get what I want So make that beat knock cause I'm getting in my zone They say, "X" [Verse Two]: Complex I am who I am in my records n***as call me 'Zeus' how I breeze through the weather I ain't never ask for favors n***a, I got mine On my own, I ain't trying to earn the throne through a dude's paper Pick up the newspaper May 10th, '03 They say the city gon' shine cause of little ole' me That brought the haters to my feet in the next week Three years later, that's when Complex leaked You finally get the chance to hear X speak About the streets and the life that effects me Open up the door, you got mail If I do not sell, I'll drink five Molotov co*ktails I rock well now I feel somebody watching me I yield to the real but ain't nobody stopping me This ain't checkers this is Jenga If you topping me, we can all fall down Round of Monopoly [Hook]: Go hard or go home I'm shooting for the top I'm aiming for the throne And I ain't gonna stop till I get what I want So make that beat knock cause I'm getting in my zone They say, "X" Go hard or go home I'm shooting for the top I'm aiming for the throne And I ain't gonna stop till I get what I want So make that beat knock cause I'm getting in my zone They say, "X" [Verse Three]: This is that Royalty City sh**, excuse me for cussing This verse feels Slavic, excuse me for Russian/rushing Hahaha, check my play on words Beat always think I cheat cause I played on words Hip hop may be dead and rap might have k**ed it I was written in the will though to come back and rebuild it Paraplegics feel it, down to their toes and I'mma shed the realness, down on my foes Now they know why them hoes say my name 'round 'em Come to the Dub, hear the words that's exchanged 'bout him The best thing that happen to Wichita is a three album Two letter, 21 year old who don't lose battles Who don't scrap, got gats that'll spew at 'em Blood clots ooze out 'em, nothing you can do 'bout 'em I got a 40 cal now With straight bullets, if I pull it, it'll knock 40 cows down n***a now [Hook]: Go hard or go home I'm shooting for the top I'm aiming for the throne And I ain't gonna stop till I get what I want So make that beat knock cause I'm getting in my zone They say, "X" Go hard or go home I'm shooting for the top I'm aiming for the throne And I ain't gonna stop till I get what I want So make that beat knock cause I'm getting in my zone They say, "X"
