(So U Wanna Be) Hardcore

[Hook: The Notorious B.I.G. & Chyskillz]

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

[Verse 1: Shaquille O'Neal]

Must be on the manhunt by the razor

Reign the terror

Fake the funk, pop the trunk

1995 era

Whatever happen to knuckle up, guard your grill

Instead your kid ? little kids packing blue steel

What movie did you see?, or who are you tried to impress?

Put that label on your chest

Bust a cap, bust a cap

Put that name on the map

Brothers killing brothers

One brother ain't coming back

Wanna be gangsta?

Tell me how you feel

Age 14 baby faced with the kill

The deal get caught going upstate

Check Leota

There's no escape

Death becomes ya

You might as well surrender

You heard of a, your tag till the end of time

Dreams come true, now you on primetime

[Hook: The Notorious B.I.G. & Chyskillz]

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

[Verse 2: Shaquille O'Neal]

Out of the shadow, mindblowing into your ear

Tuck that shirt in me cause that school is all you hear

Your mom and pops proud of you, they be bragging

Soon you hits the corner, pants be sagging

Minds start to rearrange, acting strange

Doing illegal things for some chump change

Materialistic make you wind up busta-tistic

The trigger gots no heart, that's a spice went ballistic

Follower, can't you be a leader at all

It's ok to shoot something as long as it's a basketball

You punked your teacher, acted a fool in class, clown

Daddy found out, he gonna beat that ass down

Perpetrating, better learn now

Cause later is too late, so why perpetrate?

[Hook: The Notorious B.I.G., Shaquille O'Neal & Chyskillz]

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

[Verse 3: Shaquille O'Neal]

I know I got you made

I chill the will in down south

Shaq O'Neal was never born with a silver spoon in his mouth

I'm from the same hood you from

I faced the same things you faced

I left Newark and went place to place

Hat on backwards, walking with a limp

I bust on moves on the strength, I went to lift

I ain't gon' front, I tried to act hard too

I bust a couple heads, acting foolish with my crew

Then I grew up, I got the quick job

Cash and get ?

Check the knowledge that I'm speaking

Former juvenile delinquent

It's ok to be hardcore

With your hat to the back, let's put away the gats

[Hook: The Notorious B.I.G. & Chyskillz]

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats

So you wanna be hardcore?

With your hat to the back, talkin' 'bout the gats
