Are You Hard?

Written by Douglas Firestein

I seen you pushing narcotics
But you been out on my turf
You better cut me in on the cash
Or your business ‘bout to hurt

I’ve seen you driving in town
There’s a tracker on your car
If you cooperate with me
Your family wont come to harm

(Times, times, times)
Times are so hard these days
(Crime, crime, crime)
Crime it can still pay

If you wanna mix it up
You gotta play in gangsta yards
So tell me now boy
Are you hard?
I said tell me right now
ARE YOU HARD?

I seen you sellin’ bootleg tapes
All the movies one can watch
Gettin’ rich off piracy rates
In a hood full of gunshots

I know the places you dine
I got friends in the kitchen
Be careful what you eat
Is that your throat itchin’?

(Times, times, times)
Times are so hard these days
(Crime, crime, crime)
Crime it can still pay

If you wanna mix it up
You gotta play in gangsta yards
So tell me now boy
Are you hard?
I said tell me right now
ARE YOU HARD?

You got a lot of chances
I let you live this long
But you better give me my money
Cos your luck is about to be gone

(Times, times, times)
Times are so hard these days
(Crime, crime, crime)
Crime it can still pay

If you wanna mix it up
You gotta play in gangsta yards
So tell me now boy
Are you hard?
I said tell me right now
ARE YOU HARD?
