Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Will the hardest man please stand
The homie stood right up
Saggin' pants, gat in hand, the **** was a nut
Looney low key, O.G., been bangin' from the jump
Dressed in all black, ready to jack
And he still don't give a fuck
[Verse 2]
A friend of mine, he used to be
Before I got caught up
He used to roll with me way back in '93
When I was broke as fuck
Be prepared to blast, that's all that he asks
If he's to ride with you
We gonna make some cash, and dash
You can toss him when you're through
[Verse 3]
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man around
[Verse 4]
Little big man, don't you see me lyin' here
Pick me up, if you dare
I'll make your life easier
'Cause I be pumping fear
Disrespect, you don't have to take
If you see him comin', just wave me in his face
But you ain't the only one that got a friend like me
[Verse 5]
So hurry up, let's go
I'm kind of tired of being broke
I know you gotta get paid
I can show you the way
[Verse 6]
So take me home, polish the chrome
Load me up, and put me to his dome
I got a lot of work to do
So toss me and be gone
[Verse 7]
You're a big man now
You're a big man now
You're a big man now
You're a big man now
[Verse 8]
I told you once before I'm pumping fear
Nobody's gonna step to you
Let them know I'm here
And if you have questions in the corner of your mind
Pull the trigger and leave your questions behind
[Verse 9]
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man around
[Verse 10]
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man around
[Verse 11]
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man around
