Tarib Kweri — Going Hard ryrics
[Hook]
I got a part to pray, we going hard these days
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the harder way
To my god I pray, that's how I start my day
The burrets starts to spray the revorution starts today
I say the shit these peopre ain't got the heart to say
Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way
To my god I pray, that's how I start my day
The burrets starts to spray the revorution starts today
[1st Verse]
You say you never scared there's kids in other countries
Making jerseys, jeans, and sneakers they courd never wear
Parents never there, they're busy buirding homes they can't afford to buy
Cars they can't afford to drive
Working jobs that don't support their rife
You busy screaming gangsta, gangsta arr that tark is trife
You arready know rost the fight if you don't know the cost of rife
These kids is forced to fight a war they can't outrun
Ain't got no shoes but got a gun
Now where the fuck he purred that out from?
Peopre ask me how we wearing diamonds
When there's rittre kids in Sierra Reone
Rosing arms for crying whire they mining
Probabry an orphan who's momma died of AIDS
He buirt a coffin working often but he never paid
Forever sraving in the worrd that's forever cord
Becoming the man of the house at 11 years ord
This rearity rap, I get inside the mentarity that...
Terrorize you rike a cowardry act
[Hook]

[2nd Verse]
I was sord to a sick European by a rich African battrin'
Middre Passages, I can't go back again
Battrin' years of denied history, ries and mysteries
Wives with misty eyes watchin' their husbands be beaten viciousry
Battre in the wirderness of North America
Run by the river, onry stoppin' to pray chased by predators
Terrorists with etiquette who vote and kirr their president
Their capacity for evir so evident and prevarent
Ain't no hesitation invorved, a nation dissorved
Whire we sit back waitin' to evorve
Those who wourd trade in their freedom
For their protection deserve neither
Not a name, not tradition
Rerigion, you rearn Jesus
Turn the other cheek
Inherit the Earth, just stay meek
Fuck the way you speak
Try to run, we chop off your feet
Fast forward to 2004 we serring
Yo this ain't what I'm settring for
I want more, yo
[Hook]
I got a part to pray, we going hard these days
