[Intro: DJ Khaled, T-Pain & Jay-Z]

Ayy, we go by The Runners

DJ Khaled! We the best!

I'm going in! Remix! (Go Hard!)

LA-D-S! I can show 'em more then I can tell 'em

Go Go Go Young!

Lights out, niggas!


[Verse 1: JAY-Z]

I'm up out M-a-r-c-y P-r-o-j-e-c-t

Ain't no other motherfucker in the rap game harder than me

I go hard and get it in like a porn star

Follow my moves you wanna make it to the top

I'm OnStar for new born stars

Even when the camera stop

I'm a hundred-million-dollar movie, hand on my cock

Big Homie from the back block

When you first learned how to slap box

Then you even learned how to dribble the pill

Or to hand the pot, bring it back, rock

Number one rule: If your ass get popped

Don't chatterbox to the Matlocks

Death before dishonor, I'ma honor the code they created

Number two rule and it might sound rude, but—yup!

Fuck you, pay me!

I drown my pain in Porsches, I lost my partner to the bullshit

Still tryna hold on to my religion so

I put a couple diamonds in the crosses

Close your eyes, see the darkness

That's what it's like where I'm from

No lawyers, no doctors

So either I go the hardest or I could just call this a night

On dark nights, it's like I see better

On Dark Knights—I'm like Heath Ledger

Even if I overdose on drugs, motherfuckers can't kill my buzz

Wait, I ain't done—I'ma freestyle this, Khaled let it run

What's the hardest county in the Yayo?

'Cause I'ma go harder then they go

I'ma go harder than Baltimore

Philly gon' say they can't touch the boy

Where you at, Duval? I'ma go harder than you all

Harder than New York, turn the Pro Tools in the booth off

I'ma go harder than 'Ye go, and Ye go hard—

That's ba'y bro

(Put some more beat on that joint!)


[Chorus: T-Pain]

If you could you would get rid of me

What you gonna do when a nigga got to go hard

But I won't let you get to me

You should already figure I'mma go hard

If you were as real as me

You would never let another nigga step in your yard

Makin money ain't shit to me

This in my veins and it gets to my heart

So I am, I will, I gots to go

You got another way to live you gots to go on

I am gettin it in until the end I got to go, go, go, go hard


[Verse 2: Kanye West]

I ain't ever been scurred

Never been a type to bite my words

When I came up ya'll gave me shit

Now I'm gunna make ya'll eat them terds

Always said what the fuck I felt

Gon head spit that murder I wrote

Man I dont care what what you felt

Fuck you nigga I know I'm dope

Dope like I'm comin to get my all

Felt like I had to play the fly on the wall

Felt like niggas was stuntin on me

Funny how I'm flyer then them all

Now I'm at the top ain't know where to go now

Instead of me, she gon go down

Maybe I would've slowed down

If I knew what I know now

I'm stupid, yeah I know I'm dumb

It could get fuckin old but its good I'm young

But my heart get cold as the hood I'm from

Tell me what it take to be numba one

I guess its gon be what its gon be

But heres one thing ya'll got to hear

I'mma tell you like George Bush told me

Fuck ya'll niggas I'm out of here


[Chorus: T-Pain]

If you could you would get rid of me

What you gonna do when a nigga got to go hard

But I won't let you get to me

You should already figure I'mma go hard

If you were as real as me

You would never let another nigga step in yo yard

Makin money ain't shit to me

This in my veins and it gets to my heart

So I am, I will, I gots to go

You got another way to live you gots to go on

I am gettin it in until the end I got to go, go, go, go hard
