Never lying, truth-teller
That Rihanna reign just won't let up
All-black on, blacked-out shades
Blacked-out maybach
I'ma rock this shit like fashion
As in, going till they say stop
And my runway never looked so clear
But the hottest bitch in heels right here
No fear, and while you're getting your cry on

Sincere, I see you aiming at my pedestal

Ain't like me, that chick too phony (Young!)
Ride this beat, beat, beat like a pony
Meet me at the top, top, top getting lonely (Young!)
Who think they test me now?
Run through your town, I shut it down
Brilliant, resilient
Fan mail from twenty-seven million (Young!)
And I want it all
It's gonna take more than that, hope that ain't all you got
I need it all (hold up!)
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

So hard (yeah!) so hard (yeah!)
So hard (yeah!) so hard (yeah!)
It's go hard or go home, back to your residence
Soon the Red Dogs give the block back to the presidents
I used to run my whole block like Obama them
You ain't gotta believe me, go ask my momma 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 to 'em
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?
So hard (yeah!) so hard (yeah!)
So hard (yeah!) so hard (yeah!)
That I, I, I, I'm so hard (yeah!)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so hard (yeah!)
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, so hard (too hard)
That I, I, I
A Força e a Resiliência de Rihanna em Hard
A música 'Hard', interpretada por Rihanna e com participação do rapper Jeezy, é um hino de autoafirmação e resiliência. A letra transmite uma mensagem de força e determinação, onde Rihanna se posiciona como uma figura inabalável e poderosa, apesar das adversidades e críticas que possa enfrentar. A repetição do refrão 'I'm so hard' serve como um mantra de sua própria tenacidade e resistência a qualquer tentativa de derrubá-la.
No contexto da música, Rihanna se compara a um leão, um símbolo de coragem e poder, e afirma viver onde 'o céu termina', sugerindo que ela está em um patamar elevado, longe do alcance de seus críticos. A expressão 'That Rihanna reign just won't let up' reforça a ideia de que sua influência e sucesso são contínuos e incontestáveis. A artista também faz referência à moda e ao luxo, com menções a 'all-black on, blacked-out shades, blacked-out Maybach', indicando que ela não apenas domina a música, mas também é uma figura de estilo e sofisticação.
Jeezy, por sua vez, contribui com versos que enfatizam a dureza e a autenticidade, comparando sua influência em seu bairro à de um presidente e destacando sua riqueza e estilo de vida luxuoso. A colaboração entre os dois artistas adiciona uma camada extra de confiança e poder à música. 'Hard' é uma declaração de independência e autoconfiança, onde Rihanna e Jeezy deixam claro que estão no controle de suas vidas e carreiras, e que não serão facilmente abalados por obstáculos ou opiniões alheias.
