Despite Henry’s muscles and tough guy image, this song is actually about being “hard” as in “difficult” By this, Henry means that being intense and difficult is “hard”, especially with himself.
[Verse 1]
It's hard to get high and it's hard to get through
It's hard to hear me when I'm talking to you
And you see these hard eyes, you know what I mean
And these eyes got hard after what they've seen
I'm that hard man, so good to find
I'm that hard man with an iron mind
[Verse 2]
I got hard, I stayed hard
Can't keep me down because I'm hard
I keep moving because I'm hard
I keep burning because I'm hard
I'm going over, not getting by
Hard sense makes sense
[Verse 3]
Real pain is what I reach
The real thing is what I keep
I am because I'm hard
I will because I'm hard
Hard was written by Rollins Band.
Hard was produced by Theo Van Rock.
