Hardcore Lyrics by T. Karras

XP

2020

[Intro]
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft

[Verse 1]
I’m hardcore, I can never be soft
Well I am, but I like to scoff
At all the actors who claim they hard
Reppin’ street life through their paper thin bars
Think they NWA when they CB4
Bought they entire style from the grocery store
At clearance price, cause the sound ain’t fresh
I see you walkin’ with a vest, are you afraid of death?
Well I’m brave and afraid at the same time
Ain’t afraid of consequences that come from my lines
I want to keep livin’, I got a lot to give
I ain’t kiddin’ when I say that I want kids
I speak realness, cause I know what’s real
I’m not emotionless, I know how to feel
I’m not the norm, I’m just the way I am
I’m hardcore, I care yet I don’t give a damn

[Chorus]
Hardcore, I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft

[Verse 2]
Hard to the core, my core is at the fullest
I gotta be good in this world full of bullshit
Where people will kill with them loaded clips
Regardless who you be, your life could end with a click
Lot of people pose for them cameras
Playin’ pretend while they spittin’ their mantras
They would never last a single day
In the hard knock ghettos of cal-i-for-ni-a
You can claim you’re hard, but that don’t make you hard
If you ain’t born hard, then you’ll never be hard
It’s simple as that, don’t try to overcomplicate
Cause lies fuels you with ignorance and hate
Hardcore ain’t an image, it’s a way of life
If you ain’t ready to fight, best say bye right now
You must be real to ride so just stay out of town
Lest you want to risk yourself getting beaten around

[Chorus]
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
Hardcore, yo I can never be soft
(I can never be soft), I can never be soft
