PUBLIC ENEMY LYRICS - Harder Than You Think

"Harder Than You Think"



[verse 1]

What goes on?

Rollin stones of the rap game not braggin

Lips bigger than jagger, not saggin

Spell it backwards

Im a leave it at that..



That aint got nothin to do with rap

Check the facts expose those cats

Who pose as heros and take advantage of blacks

Your governments gangster so cut the crap

A war goin on so where you at?



Fight the power comes great responsiblity

F the police but whos stoppin you from killin me?

Disasters, fiascos over a loop by pe

If its an i instead of we

Believin tv

Spittin riches, bitches, and this new thing about snitches

Watch them asses move the masses switches

System dissed them but barely missed her

My soul intention to save my brothers and sisters



Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that



[verse 2]

Screamin gangsta 20 years later

Of course endorsed while consciousness faded

New generations believing them fables

Gangster boogie on two turntables



Show no love so its easy to hate it

Desecrated while the coroner waited

Any given sunday so where yall rate it?

Wit slavery, lynching, and them drugs infiltrated



Im like that doll chuckie, baby

Keep comin back to live love life like i'm crazy

Keep it movin risin to the top

Doug fresh clean livin you dont stop



Revolution means change

Dont look at me strange

So i cant repeat what other rappers be sayin

You dont stand for something

You fall for anything

Harder than you think

Its a beautiful thing



Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that



[verse 3]

So its time to leave you a preview

So you too can review what we do

20 years in this business

How you sell sell soul, g wiz

People bear witness

Thank you for lettin us be ourself

So dont mind me if i repeat myself

These simple lines be good for your health

To keep them crime rhymes on the shelf

Live life love like you just dont care

5000 leaders never scared

Bring the noise its the moment they fear

Get up still a beautiful idea



Get up

Throw yo hands in the air

Get up show no fear

Get up if yall really care

Pe 20 years

Now get up



Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that

Get up

Hard...just like that
