[Intro: 2Pac & Trav]
I have no motherf**ing fear
I have no fear
I have only ambition and I want mine
And I will do anything to protect and feed my family
And these n***as represent a threat
Why I go so hard
Ah na na ah na na
[Chorus:]
For my pride I will go hard
I push keys like I'm Mozart
Drink lean till I doze off
For everyday that I go hard
They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard
Why I go so hard
They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard
[Verse 1:]
They forgot about them days when I was packing bags for n***as
And then I started moving them bags for n***as
I graduated to putting bricks in the rental
OT [?] pistol in the rental
Only know the Trav to smile, they don't know the Trav that frown
n***as never help me out, they wasn't there when I was down and out (nooooo)
No one to count on
Got me smoking bogeys till the stress gone
Aye and that's all
And n***a that's all me
Ima ride for my n***as, hoping I don't die for my n***as
Lay a homicide for my n***as
Aye just remember that
[Chorus:]
For my pride I will go hard
I push keys like I'm Mozart
Drink lean till I doze off
For everyday that I go hard
They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard
Why I go so hard
They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard
[Verse 2:]
Lost respect for who I look up to
I had to grow up see what they up to
They don't want to see a n***a grow up
They don't want to see a n***a blow up
They want to see you stuck in the hood
They don't want to see you up in Hollywood
Cause I was down while they was up
Now I'm up and they is down
They don't want to share the light with a n***a
They don't want to share the stage with me now
Must have had a piece of humble pie
Cause ever since these n***as settled down
You nobody, until these n***as k** you or you locked up like Bobby
I seen this same sh** happen to Rowdy, happen to Stack, that was happen to Chinx
What the f** do you think?
[Chorus:]
For my pride I will go hard
I push keys like I'm Mozart
Drink lean till I doze off
For everyday that I go hard
They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard
Why I go so hard
They wonder why I go so hard, they wonder why I go so hard
