Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
They can say whatever, I'ma do whatever
No pain is forever, yup, you know this
Tougher than a lion, ain't no need in tryin'
I live where the sky ends, yup, you know this
Never lying, truth-teller
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
All black on, blacked-out shades
Blacked-out Maybach
I'ma rock this shit like fashion, as in
Goin' till they say stop
And my runway never looked so clear
But the hottest bitch in heels right here
No fear, and while you're getting your cry on, I'm getting my fly on
Sincere, I see you aiming at my pedestal, I better let you know
[Chorus]
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (Too hard)
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
[Verse 2]
All up on it, know you wanna clone it
Ain't like me, that chick too phony
Ride this beat, beat, beat like a pony
Meet me at the top, top, top, getting lonely
Who think they test me now?
Run through your town, I'll shut it down
Brilliant, resilient
Fan mail from twenty-seven million
And I want it all
It's gonna take more than that, hope that ain't all you got
I need it all
The money, the fame, the cars, the clothes
I can't just let you run up on me like that
All on me like that, yeah
I see you aiming at my pedestal, so I think I gotta let you know
[Chorus]
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (Too hard)
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
[Verse 3]
Go hard or go home, back to your residence
Soon the Red Dogs give the block back to the presidents
I used to run my whole block like Obamanem
Yeen gotta believe me, go ask my mamanem
Couldn't even come in my room, smelled like a kilo
Look like me and two of my boys playing casino
Count the style I keep in my bag, they can't afford it
Tell 'em, give me back my swag, they tryna clone me
You see my Louis chucks, Louis flag, Louis frames
Louis belt, what that make me, Louis Mane?
I'm in the all-white party wearing all black
With my new black watch, call it the heart attack
Cardiac arrest, Carti'ac a wrist
Yeah, they say they hard, they ain't hard as this
Hard, the one word describes me
If I wasn't doing this, you know where I'd be, too hard
[Bridge]
Where them girls talking trash, where them girls talking trash?
Where they at, where they at, where they at?
Where them bloggers at, where them bloggers at?
Where they at, where they at, where they at?
Where your lighters at, where your lighters at?
Where they at, where they at, where they at?
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
[Outro]
That I, I, I, I'm so hard
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (Too hard)
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard
That I, I, I
