[00:00.00] "Harder Than You Think"
[00:00.60] Yo, Chuck, whats the move, man?
[00:02.19] I was on my way up here to the studio, you know what Im sayin?
[00:04.98] And this brother stopped me and asked me
[00:07.05] Yo, whats up with that brother, Chuckie D, he swear he nice
[00:09.76] I said, Yo, the brother dont swear he nice
[00:11.61] He knows hes nice, you know what Im sayin?
[00:13.62] So, Chuck, I got a feeling youre turning into a Public Enemy, man
[00:16.74] Now remember that night you was kickin to me
[00:19.10] On the way out to L.A. Lounge in Queens
[00:20.96] While we was in the car on our way to the shot
[00:22.92] Well, yo, right now, kick the bass for em brothers
[00:25.49] What goes on?
[00:28.14] Rollin stones of the rap game not braggin
[00:30.35] Lips bigger than jagger , not saggin
[00:32.66] Spell it backwards
[00:33.68] Im a leave it at that..
[00:34.47] That aint got nothin to do with rap
[00:37.59] Check the facts expose those cats
