9
Steada treated, we get tricked
10
Steada kisses, we get kicked
11
It's the hard knock life
12
From standin' on the corners boppin'
13
To drivin' some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
14
For droppin' some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
15
From the dope spot, with the smoke glock
16
Fleein' the murder scene, you know me well
17
From nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
18
But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? Fuck naw
19
Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips, bust shots
20
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not
21
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not
22
let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
23
Let's stick up the world and split it fifty-fifty, uh, huh
24
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh, huh
25
And sip the Cris' and get pissy, pissy
26
Flow infinitely like the memory of my nigga Biggie, baby
27
You know it's hell when I come through
28
The life and times of Shawn Carter
29
Nigga Volume 2, y'all niggaz get ready
30
It's the hard knock life, for us
31
It's the hard knock life, for us
32
Steada treated, we get tricked
33
Steada kisses, we get kicked
34
It's the hard knock life
35
I flow for those 'dro'ed out, all my niggaz
36
Locked down in the ten by fo', controllin' the house
37
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks
38
Burn 'em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that
39
I flow for chicks wishin', they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
40
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the long shots
41
All my ballers that's born to clock
42
Now I'ma be on top whether I perform or not
43
I went from lukewarm to hot, sleepin' on futons and cots
44
To King Size, dream machines, the green fives
45
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
46
Then I put it down type braille
47
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies
48
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit
49
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin'
50
I'm tryin' to murder everything movin', feel me?

59
It's the hard knock life
60
I don't how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
61
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
62
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress
63
You'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me
64
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out
65
Didn't really appreciate it, 'til the second one came out
66
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out
67
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya, nigguh
68
It's the hard knock life, for us
