Go Hard (Remix) Lyrics
Ayy, we go by The Runners
DJ Khaled! We the best!
I'm going in! Remix! (Go Hard!)
LA-D-S! I can show 'em more then I can tell 'em
Go Go Go Young!
Lights out, niggas!
[Verse 1: JAY-Z]
I'm up out M-a-r-c-y P-r-o-j-e-c-t
Ain't no other motherfucker in the rap game harder than me
I go hard and get it in like a porn star
Follow my moves you wanna make it to the top
I'm OnStar for new born stars
Even when the camera stop
I'm a hundred-million-dollar movie, hand on my cock
Big Homie from the back block
When you first learned how to slap box
Then you even learned how to dribble the pill
Or to hand the pot, bring it back, rock
Number one rule: If your ass get popped
Don't chatterbox to the Matlocks
Death before dishonor, I'ma honor the code they created
Number two rule and it might sound rude, but—yup!
Fuck you, pay me!
I drown my pain in Porsches, I lost my partner to the bullshit
Still tryna hold on to my religion so
I put a couple diamonds in the crosses
Close your eyes, see the darkness
That's what it's like where I'm from
No lawyers, no doctors
So either I go the hardest or I could just call this a night
On dark nights, it's like I see better
On Dark Knights—I'm like Heath Ledger
Even if I overdose on drugs, motherfuckers can't kill my buzz
Wait, I ain't done—I'ma freestyle this, Khaled let it run
What's the hardest county in the Yayo?
'Cause I'ma go harder then they go
I'ma go harder than Baltimore
Philly gon' say they can't touch the boy
Where you at, Duval? I'ma go harder than you all
Harder than New York, turn the Pro Tools in the booth off
I'ma go harder than 'Ye go, and Ye go hard—
That's baby bro
(Put some more beat on that joint!)

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
According to Khaled, Hov was supposed to be on the original version of “Go Hard,” but unfortunately Lenny Santiago, Roc Nation A&R, Jay’s longtime friend and Khaled’s plug for Hov, didn’t send Khaled the verse before the album’s fall release date.
I heard he did it, but nobody’s playing it for me and nobody’s giving it to me. So, I’m confused. Maybe Jay, at that time, wasn’t sure [about] giving me the verse. You gotta remember, Jay-Z was kinda retired at that time
A month after Khaled had released the original as We Global’s second single he received a phone call from Lenny S. in which he passed on the message that “Jay wants me to send you the verse now. Merry Christmas.”
