HARDWARE Lyrics
(Verse)
Yeah you hot now but I’m the trend setter
Got the same name chain who’s better
You playing the game of fame I play never
One man army don’t hang with gang members
You caught a Rico I’m out in Costa Rica
Thank God my lawyer don’t got social media
Got more style than the bohemians
I came from greatness check Wikipedia
(Chorus)
I’m Bob with the hardware
Roley for the hardware
Dance in the dark
Get dizzy from the hardware
Busy with the hardware
Going off the guardrails
S680 Mercedes no carfare
Sons everywhere
My city is a day care
Sun everywhere
Miami for a whole year
Son I’m everywhere
G800 no airfare
Off white hard hat yellow tape beware
(Verse 2)
Should of been my intern
Should of got the matcha
Nigga you an extra
Can’t get an Oscar
Always crying broke
Should audition for the opera
Hit you with the headshot
No chance opera-rations patient
Should of had patience
Now you in morgue
Fancy word for a basement
Now they stealing organs
Sell them to the nation
New weak hearted motherfucker for the taking
(Chorus)
I’m Bob with the hardware
Roley for the hardware
Dance in the dark
Get dizzy from the hardware
Busy with the hardware
Going off the guardrails
S680 Mercedes no carfare
Sons everywhere
My city is a day care
Sun everywhere
Miami for a whole year
Son I’m everywhere
G800 no airfare
Off white hard hat yellow tape beware
(Verse 3)
Stop with the Mase flow
You ain’t got a bankroll
Signed to three people
You ain’t got say so
I fund my whole shit
Boss with a payroll
I’ll take the meeting
But don’t need a label
I don’t have fake streams
I don’t use paywalls
I don’t wear dresses
You ain’t gotta say pause
Is what it is
We ain’t from the same cloth
Is what it is
You’re another knock off
(Chorus)
I’m Bob with the hardware
Roley for the hardware
Dance in the dark
Get dizzy from the hardware
Busy with the hardware
Going off the guardrails
S680 Mercedes no carfare
Sons everywhere
My city is a day care
Sun everywhere
Miami for a whole year
Son I’m everywhere
G800 no airfare
Off white hard hat yellow tape beware
(Verse 4)
In da studio Wayne made Carter 3
Is that Laron L Boy on the beat
I don’t need features I feature me
I don’t do samples they sample me
Too paid to freestyle for free
All rappers get their style from me
I swear My Instagram page needs a fee
They can never wear what I wear they cheap
(Chorus)
I’m Bob with the hardware
Roley for the hardware
Dance in the dark
Get dizzy from the hardware
Busy with the hardware
Going off the guardrails
S680 Mercedes no carfare
Sons everywhere
My city is a day care
Sun everywhere
Miami for a whole year
Son I’m everywhere
G800 no airfare
Off white hard hat yellow tape beware
HARDWARE Q&A
Who produced HARDWARE's ?
HARDWARE was produced by Laron.
What is the song about?
My displeasure with Hip Hop. It’s so watered down, rappers make wack songs get attention and treat it as a money grab.
It’s rinse and repeat at this point, hardware is going to reset and restore balance within the genre.
What inspired the song?
Sucker MC’s by Run DMC & AMili by Lil Wayne.
My dad produced Sucker MC’s in 1983, I’ve always wanted to make a revolutionary song like he did, finally it’s here. I’m pretty proud of myself because I know my plaque is coming and history is being made. It’s going Platinum for sure.
It’s funny be...
What was the process like?
Fun and challenging, Laron came over to my apartment and played beats from his broken laptop through my TV.
When he played hardware I was like wow this sounds like some Lord of the rings, superhero sh*t
I thought to myself “no wonder your computer broke”, I kept telling him to replay it.
Eventual...
What did G5 Elz say about "HARDWARE"?
The title was inspired by Hermés jewelry category. I was gifted a clic bracelet on my birthday last year and the category name hardware always stood out.
