Hard in the Paint Lyrics by Arrested Development

On The Cutting Room Floor (A Mixtape)

0

Hip Hop had come full circle
It started with the gangs in New York
And ended in the gangs of L.A
But just at that moment
Along came a new force in Hip Hop
From where you’d least expect it
Arrested Development lead by Speech
Emerged from the cloud of dirt
On a Georgia dust track
With some southern fried hip hop
And the funk of redemption
And the grammy goes to
Go head bruh
Tennessee Arrested Development
They said our songs was more singing and less hip hoping
Now days I say its more corporate run than Disk jocking
Oriville Reddinbacher
The more corn
The more popping
While I was busy chart topping
The only toppins you was doing was for
Pizza shopping
So many people have never tried anything but they still knock it
Industry closing doors on me But I’m Still knocking
Finicky posers supposedly got me with nil options
But I see different optics
Palm trees deep in the Tropics
Wifey bikini clad & super bad
Dark chocolate skin its decadent to even look at that
Much less taste it
Angel food cake hips
Worshipping her beautiful backside like its Sacred
We do this husband wife thing like its Ape *ish
We share traits with apes bout 98 percent
She said I do, I said I cherish you
Cuz you’re my everything
98 degrees
HOTNESS - feel the heat
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man naw I ain't (messing around)
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man no
Messing around
Messing around
No I ain't
I'm in your town
In your town
Hard in the paint
Messing around
Messing around
No I ain't
Taking you down
Taking you down
They said our songs was more singing
And less hip hoping
Lets call it singing
We still harder than you -
You off topic
Stop it
I embrace melody
But not WAP hits
So now keep telling me
Who is more compellingly in line
With what Hip hop is?
Three decades long strong songs not pop hits
Blasting off on the powers that be just like a rocket
Yeah we rock it
Fans they cop it
With ancient wisdoms
Like Egyptians
The christian coptics
Money and nonsense i
N every way a profit
When you hop in the bandwagon
And talk about us -
Like a hot potato
Drop it
The pain facts is you act
Like you in the cock pit
But you can't be
Cuz its only me
I look to try left and my right
I see clouds in my horizon
Future is bright
Ready to fight like Mike Tyson
I’m Luther with the Jheri curl
Single minded like an unmarried girl
For real
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man naw I ain't (messing around)
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man no
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man naw I ain't (messing around)
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man no
Messing around
Messing around
No I ain't
I'm in your town
In your town
Hard in the paint
Messing around
Messing around
No I ain't
Taking you down
Taking you down
Hard in the paint like Shaq
Hard in the paint like Penny
We go harder than Jack
We go harder than Kenny
Hard in the paint like Pat
Hard in the paint like Remy
Ain’t got no purple pack
Just some Runtz and some Henny
Only blunts and a semi
A couple stunts in a Hemi
I just want to be trendy
So I listen intently
Man these fakers ain’t friendly
All this smiling offend me
Cause their only pretending
While I’m strongly ascending
Hard in the paint like crack
Look how it left my city
Broken, grimy and gritty
Times as hard as Rum Nitty
Somewhere shiny and spiffy
Gucci, Prada and Fendi
In the drive thru at Wendy’s
In a burgundy Bentley
Years if writing, plus twenty
Thinking they would commend me
Man, these verses are curses
My own families against me
Before I’m riding in hearses
Their researching my history
Trying to find all the answers
To reasons why they resent me
It’s s my effortless flow…
That’s the source of their envy
Its AD
1Love
They study us plenty
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man naw I ain't (messing around)
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man no
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man naw I ain't (messing around)
Going hard in the paint
No more messing around man no
No more messing around no ‘we hard here in the paint
No more messing around no ‘we hard here in the paint
Hard in the paint
