2 Hard 4 The Radio by Drake

About 2 Hard 4 The Radio

The song works as a direct homage to Bay Area rap culture, especially through the slight reference to Mac Dre’s “Too Hard for the F***in Radio,” a classic Bay Area record tied to Mac Dre’s legacy as a Vallejo rapper and hyphy culture. Drake strengthens that connection with lines about Oakland and The Yoc” (Antioch), placing himself inside the Bay. In the context of their beef, Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” leaned heavily into West Coast unity and was produced by Mustard .

2 Hard 4 The Radio Lyrics

[00:01.38] Yeah
[00:03.33] Ay, ay, ay
[00:07.43] Ay, whoa, yeah, ay
[00:13.88] Alright, look
[00:18.86] Listen up, it's about to be smoke
[00:20.32] Ain't nothin' but some shit I wrote
[00:22.87] About a rich-ass nigga that's deep in the game
[00:24.82] They call me Drizzy Drake and I'm keepin' the name
[00:27.36] I sport Nike shoes, I got a mic to use
[00:29.30] To talk bad about you pussies, I don't like you fools
[00:31.87] Got an Oakland show tonight, baby
[00:33.83] My young boys from The Yoc goin' crazy
[00:36.36] I'm on the bridge with a tank of unleaded
[00:38.86] I pull up early to that bitch, that bitch was yankin' already, I said yank
[00:41.31] In the city and I really got rank
[00:43.89] You see the backpack to the front, you gettin' spanked
[00:46.33] I really blow M's for the fun of it
[00:48.32] New owl, blue diamonds on the front of it
[00:50.37] Shout my lil' cousin, Mr. Havin' None of It
[00:52.32] Tryna campaign, yeah, Drizzy back runnin' shit
[00:54.83] Whoa, whoa, livin' large, yeah
[00:57.84] And I put that on citas and the boulevard
[01:00.33] When I lost Big Mighty, I took it hard
[01:02.39] Need to call up a Stark for some Chrome Hearts
[01:04.89] If you my new girl, girl, you gotta look the part
[01:07.39] Ay, it's Mr. Make Her Pipe Down, there he go
