Look, all these leaders that they call leaders, this included Lena Horne, this included Dick Gregory
this included comedians, comics, trumpet players, baseball players
Show me in the white community where a comedian is a white leader
Show me in the white community where a singer is a white leader, or a dancer or a trumpet player is a white leader

These aren't leaders
These are puppets and clowns
People who have been set up are over the black community, by the white community, and have been made celebrities
And usually say exactly what they know that the white man wants to hear

Usually Negroes know that when this bourgeois Negro walks through the door, he is not doing something that he's initiated himself
but he's involved in something in which the white man is the absolute author of
and has sent him to the Negro community for some information

And we usually get y'all on the wrong side of the bars, niggas, being drunk off of hard liquors

and trying to be hard niggas with hard niggas
Security, the owner, the bartender, a team of large men, still mean hard-hitters
whose gossips are figures
And golly, honestly, I'm aware some of the dopest to do it

We stay showing and proving, knowing and moving, the more we're improving
We go to them grooving, coasting and cruising, those boasting we bruising
We're roasting reunions, we toasting when tuning
Hungry emotions, that movement, the best our moves been

It's like success just moved in
And with the movement moving, we ain't in the mood, friend
Care less what your crew spends, ain't tightening up our loose ends
Cause for a few bends, you'll lose untrue friends

And fights for a life, facing like two tens
Who wins when it's all writings and stars
We on the wrong side of the bars from trying to be hard
What's hard is starting a business, whether legal or illegal

It is what sets up future skill sets for all the people in it
It all starts when you're young, wanting more digits
There's truly no limit, get up and go get it
Those timid, never follow their dreams, victims of the wickedness

Plots and schemes, diabolical means, trying to own all of the things
You'll know with y'all on the team, champions that God them a ring
What's hard
Getting your family and friends off that broke shit

What's hard
Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless
What's hard
Getting all your shit and getting you some ownership

What's hard
Doing your thing, making sure you're the dope piece
What's hard
Getting your family and friends up off that broke shit

What's hard
Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless
What's hard
Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership

What's hard
Doing your thing, making sure you're the dope piece
What's hard
It's for people to quit smoking

Nicotines gets more fiends while we sitting joking
Same people that own them companies said that they didn't smoke it
With warnings on the label, you catching cancer's fatal throat
You didn't know it

What's hard
It's to stop drinking
Start plotting and start thinking how to make it to the top peaking
Black buffets at buffets, owners who's blocked eating

We all feasting from leaving them proper meetings
What's hard
It's to stop cheating and stop leaving rooms when loss loves leaving grooms
It's rooms for reasons that you assume the meanings

Deadbeat dads who zoom from skeetings that bloom into heart beatings
What's hard
It's daughter dances and sunny days instead of dark evenings
It's loving your sisters and brothers, building our communities to fluently love each other

Finding that godliness we all possess inside to discover
What's hard
It's getting your family and friends all that broke shit
What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless
What's hard
Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership
What's hard

Doing your thing, make it sure you're the dopest
What's hard
Getting you family and friends all that broke shit
What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless
What's hard
Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership
What's hard

Doing your thing making sure you're the dopest
What's hard
Getting your family and friends all that broke shit
What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless
What's hard
Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership
What's hard

Doing your thing making sure you're the dopest
What's hard
Getting your family and friends all that broke shit
What's hard

Remaining focused even when things seem hopeless
What's hard
Getting on your shit and getting you some ownership
Doing your thing making sure you're the dopest

What's hard
Getting off that bull shit
What's hard
Getting on that real shit

What's hard
Time's got a tune now and the tune is neat
Bite rough, certainly roll away, but I hope it touch you where you feel
