Rihanna Hard

“Hard” is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna from her fourth studio album, Rated R (2009). The song features a guest verse from American rapper Young Jeezy, credited only as “Jeezy” on the album. The artists co-wrote the song with its producers, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart. “Hard” was sent to radio by Def Jam Recordings on November 10, 2009, as the second United States single from Rated R. It is a hip hop song and features military horns, hissing synthesizers, sharp beats and piano chords.

The song became Rihanna’s thirteenth top ten single on the US Billboard Hot 100, matching Beyoncé as the female artist with the most US top ten songs since 2000. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. An accompanying music video, directed by Melina Matsoukas, was filmed in Los Angeles in December 2009. In the video, Rihanna commands an army while clothed in stylized military costumes. After the video premiere, the song charted in Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Rihanna performed “Hard” at Jay-Z’s concert at UCLA Pauley Pavilion and at the 2009 American Music Awards. The song was also included on the set lists of the Last Girl on Earth Tour (2010–11) and the Loud Tour (2011).

Lyrics

[Intro: Rihanna & (Jeezy)]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ah yeah yeah yeah (Yeah yeah yeah)
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Rihanna & (Jeezy)]
They can say whatever, I’ma do whatever
No pain is forever, yup! You know this
Tougher than a lion, ain’t gon’ needa try it
I live where the sky ends, yup! You know this
Never lying, truth-teller
That Rihanna reign just won’t let up
All-black on, blacked-out shades (Shades)
Blacked-out Maybach
I’ma rock this shit like fashion
As in, going ’til they say stop (Hold up)
And my runway never looked so clear
But the hottest bitch in heels right here (Here)
No fear
And while you’re getting your cry on
I’m getting my fly on
Sincere, I see you aiming at my pedestal
I better let you know

[Chorus: Rihanna & (Jeezy)]
That I, I, I, I’m so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I’m so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I’m so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard (Too hard)
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard

[Post Chorus: Rihanna]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
That Rihanna reign just don’t let up
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
That Rihanna reign just don’t let up
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
That Rihanna reign just don’t let up
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard

[Verse 2: Rihanna]
All up on it, know you wanna clone it
Ain’t like me, that chick too phony
Ride this beat, beat, beat like a pony
Meet me at the top, top, top, getting lonely
Who think they test me now
Run through your town, I’ll shut it down
Brilliant, resilient
Fan mail from 27 million
And I want it all, it’s gonna take more than that
Hope that ain’t all you got, I need it all
The money, the fame, the cars, the clothes
I can’t just let you run up on me like that
All on me like that, yeah
I see you aiming at my pedestal
So I think I gotta let you know

[Chorus: Rihanna & (Jeezy)]
That I, I, I, I’m so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I’m so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard (Too hard)
That I, I, I, I’m so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard (Too hard)
So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard

[Verse 3: Jeezy]
Go hard or go home, back to your residence
Soon as the Red Dogs give the block back to the presidents
I used to run my whole block like Obama and them
You ain’t gotta believe me, go ask my momma and them
Couldn’t even come in my room, smelled like a kilo
Look like me and two of my boys playing casino
Count the style I keep in my bag, they can’t afford it
Tell ’em “give me back my swag!” They tryna clone it
See my Louis chucks, Louis flag, Louis frames, Louis belt
What that make me, “Louis Mane”?
I’m in the all-white party wearing all black
With my new black watch, call it the heart attack
Cardiac arrest, Carti’ac a wrist
Yeah, they say they hard, they ain’t hard as this
Hard: the one word describes me
If I wasn’t doing this, you know where I’d be

[Bridge: Rihanna]
Where them girls talking trash? Where them girls talking trash?
Where they at? Where they at? Where they at?
Where them bloggers at? Where them bloggers at?
Where they at? Where they at? Where they at?
Where your lighters at? Where your lighters at?
Where they at? Where they at? Where they at?
I’m so hard, I’m so hard, I’m so hard, I’m so hard

[Chorus: Rihanna & (Jeezy)]
That I, I, I, I’m so hard
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard
That I, I, I, I’m so hard (So hard)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m so hard (Too hard)
So hard, so hard
So hard, so hard

[Outro: Rihanna]
That I, I, I
