XV - Go Hard Or Go Home lyrics

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 nigga

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"

Complex i am who I am in my records
Niggas call me 'Zeus' how I
Breeze through the weather
I ain't never ask for favors nigga
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 cocktails
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

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"

This is that Royalty City shit
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 killed 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 nigga now

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"
