Hit This Hard Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
I never thought that it would hit this hard
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
I never thought that it would hit this hard

[Verse 1]
Don't do that, I tell you so
Don't overdose, like no, no, no
Oh my God, what have you become?
The traces of you, no, I can't see them
What have you become? What have you turned to?
What have you taken? Like someone hurt you
You drink that mixture, that shit gon' hit you
No, I can't fix you, no, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
I ran through, yeah
I feel a change in the air tonight (Tonight)
I saw myself in a different light (Different light)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
I never thought that it would hit this hard
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
I never thought that it would hit this hard

[Chorus]
I just keep running and running and running around
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
The feeling is different instead when you wake on the ground
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
I don't know who I was in and I don't know anymore
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
In the city, we sinning, we don’t ever want to come down
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)

[Verse 2]
Me and J take over and we way up
Now, we high above the city of angels
Smoke a boge in the sky, pass the fuego
I already dropped something in the Faygo
Only came to the club 'cause they paid us
Take this shit and lemme see what you made of
No sleep, lil' mama, we gon' stay up
Vampires on a night in Las Vegas

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah (Ooh, yeah)
I ran through, yeah
I feel a change in the air tonight (Tonight)
I saw myself in a different light (Different light)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
I never thought that it would hit this hard
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
(Ooh, yeah, yeah)
I never thought that it would hit this hard

[Chorus]
I just keep running and running and running around
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
The feeling is different instead when you wake on the ground
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
I don't know who I was in and I don't know anymore
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
In the city, we sinning, we don’t ever want to come down
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
I just keep running and running and running around
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
The feeling is different instead when you wake on the ground
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
I don't know who I was in and I don't know anymore
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)
In the city, we sinning, we don’t ever want to come down
(I never thought that it would hit this hard)

About

“Hit This Hard” details the fast lifestyle and sleepless nights, fueled by drug consumption and partying, that Post has been living. Coupled with the regrets and self reflection that come with falling into the hole of drug and alcohol usage, Post questions if this lifestyle is good for him before immediately jumping right back into it.

The ambient, atmospheric, and psychedelic beat (co-produced by Illangelo, who lead the production on all 3 of The Weeknd’s mixtapes back in 2011) contrast the distorted, high pitched, and warped vocals throughout the intro and pre-choruses. The influence of the producer can truly be felt, as Post taps into The Weeknd’s style.
