Hard For Me Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, damn
Yeah

[Chorus]
Tired of goin' hard for people who don't go hard for me
And when you love somebody, the truth gets hard to see
They gon' knock the wind out, make it hard to breathe
If I go hard for you, please go hard for me (Bitch)
Tired of goin' hard for people who don't go hard for me
And when you love somebody, the truth gets hard to see
They gon' knock the wind out, make it hard to breathe
If I go hard for you, please go hard for me (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
I thought this was different, but it's not though
Everything was good at the bеginnin', then it got so
Fucked up, herе we go
'Round and 'round you go, yeah
Yeah, when I go to sleep or when I get up, I'm feelin' fed up
This ain't a competition, but we're tryna get a leg up
On each other way we gon' lose
'Cause you're battlin' me and I'm battlin' you
Introduced you to my friends and my family
Introduced you to a jet where you sipped Moët
When we fly by Miami, I know what it is
But I'm hopin' that it can't be
[Chorus]
Tired of goin' hard for people who don't go hard for me
And when you love somebody, the truth gets hard to see
They gon' knock the wind out, make it hard to breathe
If I go hard for you, please go hard for me (Bitch)
Tired of goin' hard for people who don't go hard for me
And when you love somebody, the truth gets hard to see
They gon' knock the wind out, make it hard to breathe
If I go hard for you, please go hard for me (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
This is not what we envisioned for ourselves and our energy
I was thinkin' we would go all of the way
Until I got the call from you yesterday (Ayy, yeah)
Knock, knock, knock, know, here we go again
I'm wonderin' why the fuck I ever let somebody close again
I'm noticin' it never goes well
Bitches are the devil, tell 'em all, "Go to Hell"
You can tell I'm disappointed, I just feel defeated
You were everything I need, how come you ain't need me?
Why the fuck did I stay when you would up and leave me?
And why's is it so easy? (Damn)

[Bridge]
I want you to want me like I want you
Love me like I love you
Got me like I got you, if not I'm gonna haunt you
Where the fuck you goin' now?
Don't you turn your back on me
Yeah
[Chorus]
Tired of goin' hard for people who don't go hard for me
And when you love somebody, the truth gets hard to see
They gon' knock the wind out, make it hard to breathe
If I go hard for you, please go hard for me (Bitch)
Tired of goin' hard for people who don't go hard for me
And when you love somebody, the truth gets hard to see
They gon' knock the wind out, make it hard to breathe
If I go hard for you, please go hard for me (Yeah, yeah)

Genius Answer

I know I say it a lot but the song on Friday is a really special one. It was one of those sessions that as an artist you hope you have every time. Sat on the song for a while and I’m not sure why…but it’s time now. Hope y’all love it as much as I do.
