Hard Knock Life

It's the hard knock life, for us It's the hard knock life, for us Steada treated, we get tricked Steada kisses, we get kicked It's the hard knock life From standin' on the corners boppin' To drivin' some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen For droppin' some of the hottest s rap has ever heard From the dope spot, with the smoke glock Fleein' the murder scene, you know me well From nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell But since when y'all know me to fail? Uh huh Where all my brothers with the rubber grips, bust shots And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what not I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not Let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot Let's stick up the world and split it fifty-fifty, uh huh Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh huh And sip the cris' and get pissy pissy Flow infinitely like the memory of my homie biggie, baby You know it's hell when I come through The life and times of Shawn Carter Y'all volume 2, sing It's the hard knock life, for us It's the hard knock life, for us Steada treated, we get tricked Steada kisses, we get kicked It's the hard knock life
