lyrics::

aiite so boom
thinking out loud
i gotta get shit off my chest
cause whatd i do to deseve this
im talking bout
showin mad love
and giving my people nun but the best
then turn round get stab inna mi chest yo
every time mi put mi trust inna dem dawg
dem let me down and show mi why dem a satan
stay to miself because mi know seh mi safer
just load mi gun and roll mi weed and stack up mi paper

oh why mek mi ask yuh why
oh whyd i have to cry those nights
when you were posed to be by my side
but instead you chose to plot demise on my life
demon in disguise

now i dont trust no one
and i walk one plus none
cause im the only one who i know will not switch up
my gun it wi liff up if yuh diss pull di trigga
i wont miss im a hitta

why oh why oh why
whyd i have to cry oh why oh why
(now my heart turned cold)
why oh why oh why
whyd i have to cry oh why oh why
(now i dont trust no one)

i won’t let you change me
i still have love in me
i want to stay happy
so please dont fucking try me
stay out the way
and smoke my weed
but still i ask
oh why
whyd i have to cry

i would rather walk by myself
on a lonely road straight to hell
wipe my own tears
they wont notice
mind on the money
and im not losing focus
i swear
dem people nuh care
dem laugh if yuh fail
silent when time dem fi cheer
nuh frighten fi people
frighten ova miself
put trust in the highest
so mi nuh have nuh fear

Father Time


Was good that you were here last night
I noticed how you loved it
It was the best time
So I thought about you
And I almost called you
But I didn't
And I'm so glad I didn't

'Cause it's hard to love you (Mm)
Oh
So hard to love you (So hard to love you)
So much easier to hate you (Hate you)
Than to love you (To love you)
It's so hard to love you
It's so much easier to hate you (Hate you)
Than to love you
I can't love you

It was so good to see you
Girl
I forgot how pretty you are
I still know you
You haven't changed
Except for a few more tattoos
I know I told you I wouldn't
But I watched you when you left
And I'm so glad I did
'Cause you looked so good from the back

It was the first time in a long time
We was vibin'
We was cool
I could tell that you was feelin' me
And I was feelin' you
And I thought about the good times
And I remembered the bad
So
When I saw you later
You don't know how bad I wanted to ask you to come back
But I didn't
And I'm so glad I didn't

'Cause it's hard to love you
So hard to love you (So hard to love you)
So much easier to hate you (Hate you)
Than to love you (To love you)
It's so hard to love you
So much easier to hate you (Hate you)
Than to love you
I can't love you

It was so good to see you
Girl
I forgot how pretty you are
I still know you
You haven't changed
Except for a few more tattoos
I know I told you I wouldn't
But I watched you when you left
And I'm so glad I did
'Cause you looked so good from the back

I used to think we could be something
(But it was so hard to love you)
I used to think we could be something
(But it was so hard to love you)
I used to think we could be something
(But it was so hard to love you)
I used to think we could be something
(But it was so hard to love you)

Was good to see you
Were you waitin for me to ask you?
To come back home
And tell you
I want you
Girl, no, no ,no
Oh 
You know how hard to love you?
(Easier to hate you) to hate you
So hard to love you
(Easier to hate you) than to love you
Whoa oh oh oh

As an artist, HardHat Dagu stands out for his emotionally raw and reflective lyrics, blending dark humor with sharp wordplay. His music captures complex, often contradictory feelings about love, relationships, and personal growth, all while playing with language and metaphor in a way that’s both clever and impactful. His ability to seamlessly transition between introspective vulnerability and witty, sometimes biting commentary makes his tracks feel deeply personal yet universally relatable.

HardHat Dagu’s music isn’t afraid to explore the pain that often accompanies love and heartbreak, but it also brings in a sense of defiance, humor, and emotional complexity that allows listeners to reflect on their own experiences. His approach to storytelling is layered, thoughtful, and at times, almost therapeutic—making his music not just something to vibe to, but also something to contemplate and connect with.

If I had to compare him to other artists, I’d say his style shares similarities with J. Cole’s introspective lyricism, the dark humor and raw emotion of Kid Cudi, and the unfiltered, conversational flow found in Logic’s work. He has the poetic depth of Drake in his more somber tracks, but with a unique twist of humor and self-awareness that sets him apart. Think of a blend of Mac Miller’s reflective side and Kanye West’s playfulness with personal pain.

In essence, HardHat Dagu is an artist who blends deep introspection with clever lyricism, making his music perfect for anyone who enjoys exploring the complexities of life, love, and personal growth in an unfiltered and often thought-provoking way.
