Fugees - How Hard Is It? lyrics

Lickwood means "rewind" and
Gunshot means "forward"
You requested it, so we rewind (Come on)

Wait a second, draw back, ban this
Here I come
Stick this business, stock me up
They took my coat with a stun gun
On a Sunday, a bloody Sunday
So what's the resume?
Heads got felt in the force
I heard a Milky Way
I caught a heart attack when I
Heard my cousin duck hunt
In Avenue D, in Brooklyn, New York City
Ever since I used my man, I moved to Jersey
But realistically
God could of called me early
'Cause, I got a big bop
I'm wanted by the block
I take a ruff-neck chicken make
Stop in stone top
'Cause, I roll with the army of sixty-eight
The Privates' don't make the orders
It's the General that makes the wig-wack
Buy her back, buy a cat
I got scratched in a day to kidnap
And at night, I was back and the Jeep
Got attacked by a gang that sold crack
But the posse was strapped
It was nothin' but crap
I got cuffed in the back
In the jail there were rats
So I pulled out my mack to
Get out of this crap
Though I wish I could zap outta here
But I quack like a dog that pass gas
So I put the gas mask on the mic
There were blasts, 'cause I do it
It's my task
And all the jumper the guys that I
See to me pass the class
Check out the vocab
It don't got nothin' to do
With the gift of gab
If you're good, you're good if you're bad
You're bad

So how hard is it? (Hard as it can get)
I wanna know, how hard do you wanna it?
(Hard as it can get)

One, two (One, Two)
Three, four (Three, four)
Hardcore (Hardcore) hardcore (Hardcore)
Yo, watch yourself for your health
I'll snatch your last breath
Then, I left you up for
Another one bites the dust
You couldn't ride me if you
Went behind the bush, gush
Leave the style alone, don't try to follow me
'Cause a life of the hood
Make it a little triggery
So keep your eyes on the prize
Don't be surprised 'Cause on my half I may
Pull out a semi-automatic sixty-eight
Watch around my back, it's mainly static
Droppin' emcees like a bad habit
Here come the Pras with a new package

Mad and they ignorant
Think they can test the
Performance of an ancient (Rapper)
Let me break it down in a dialect (Badder)
Easier said than what the mono said
'Cause there's more than righter rapper
Paid for the rapper be-bop
'Cause he said everybody's rappin'
Them and they momma so when I grab the mic
I grab it like a gangster microphone sniper
'cause it'll be the prowler
Launch it, it's trife, no magic
The realistic maggot
Don't leave the gadget or you'll be gat it
Simple, the riddle
Who's the monkey in the middle
What's the goose, um
So let me cut his neck loose, yo
I keep it positive and not so negative
These is when you diss, emcees take it
So send it to they call the battle
I'ma raw I let it rappin', now I'm more
Your ball, you're waitin' for me to fall
But I won't stop

So how hard is it? (Hard as it can get)
I wanna know, how hard do you wanna it?
(Hard as it can get)

I gotta jump on the A Train
I saw cat with a scat
He was blowin' like Coltrane
My boys said: "Give him a call"
I gave him a dollar
He said: "Are you a rapper?"
Kids have a seat and don't miss a beat
And listen to the battle of
The saxin' in your emcee
Now Red Rock, call Red Rock, call
Red Rock, call Red Rock, call Red Rock call
(It could mean rewind the gun-check me, baby)
I rock and shock the dough is show
Squeeze and cheese and whether pleasin'
(It could mean rewind the gun-check me, baby)
I rock and shock the dough is show
Squeeze and cheese and whether pleasin'
Coolin' breezin' at the teas and how
Can emcees do was sneeze (Flower blow)

So how hard is it? (Hard as it can get)
I wanna know, how hard do you wanna it?
(Hard as it can get)
So how hard is it? (Hard as it can get)
I wanna know, how hard do you wanna it?
(Hard as it can get)
So how hard is it? (Hard as it can get)
I wanna know, how hard do you wanna it?
(Hard as it can get)
So how hard is it? (Hard as it can get)
I wanna know, how hard do you wanna it?
(Hard as it can get)
So how hard is it? (Hard as it can get)
I wanna know, how hard do you wanna it?
(Hard as it can get) so how hard is it?
