[Common]

One day, I was tryin to be myself

The same day this thug say, "You gotta come hard"

Nigga, times is hard, I'm tryin hard to make it

It ain't hard to tell, it's hard for me to fake it

Plus, it's hard to be me, it's hard to stop drinkin

I guess it's hard for you hard niggaz to start thinkin

Pussy MC's stinkin so I can't get hard

Some, become MC's cause it's hard to get a job

Hard for you to trust people, you don't trust in God

Even harder to be the Gods we created to be

This Western way of life ain't native to me

Put one nigga in your Pulp Fiction that related to me

I hate it that we, the only race that call our women hoes

Niggaz, be too hard to say "ho" at the shows

I rose... like a florist to bring the flavor like a Taurus

Might not have the murderous verse, but I stay hard to the chorus

Took this girl to work, she say I ain't have a real job

Like that dick you had last night, baby, I work real hard

Simple motherfuckers tellin me hard is criminal

Niggaz you thought was hard, you pourin out your liquor for

Years ago, I thought I was hard, in high school fightin

Now, I'm the hardest man working in show business

Handle your business or shut the fuck up



[Dug Infinite] It's just one two many niggaz got cars and no land

[Common] One two many niggaz with cash and no plan

[Dug Infinite] One two many niggaz that's tryin to MC

[Common] That's one two many niggaz comin up to me

[both] That's one two many niggaz

Just one two many niggaz [x2]

[both] That's one two many niggaz

Just one two many niggaz

[Chuck D] "One, two"



Forever, I ain't gon' be rappin

Shit'll happen to me, I gotta let niggaz know

This mark asked me do I know his cousin Jimbo

Nigga, I don't even know myself

You want me to get you in

Jack, I'm trying to get through the do' myself

Opportunity knocked, but he ain't call 'fore he came

Yeah, I got a name, but only twenty dollars to it

Next album you gon' blow, up my ass, you done blew it before

Being in my video, what's that gonna do for your life?

Get you some pussy? You should be gettin rump off GP

Quit that you look like you say I seen you on TV

I be readin niggaz but readin be makin me sleepy (Hey!)

So strong am I, A Hundred Styles and Runnin

Niggaz stuck on one and them-a ran by

Claimin they fly but they stand-by

I come truer than a dream, and youse a damn lie

With that anti-rap, complainin about this and about that

Sounding bitch like, that ain't gonna make a nigga get right

I'm number one



[Dug Infinite] One two many niggaz tryin to tell me bout they theory

[Common] One two many niggaz that ain't tryin to hear me

[Dug Infinite] One two many niggaz doin shows that don't happen

[Common] One two many niggaz life depend on rappin

[both] That's one two many niggaz

Just one two many niggaz [x2]

[both] That's one two many niggaz

Just one two many niggaz

[Chuck D] "One, two"



[Dug Infinite] One two many niggaz can't find they niche

[Common] One two many niggaz wanna be my bitch [echoed]



Nigga, one two many niggaz [repeat to fade]
