5
It's the hard knock life for us
6
Steada treated, we get tricked
7
Steada kisses, we get kicked
8
It's the hard knock life
9
From standin' on the corners boppin'
10
To drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
11
For droppin' some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
12
From the dope spot, with the smoke Glock, fleein' the murder scene
13
You know me well, from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
14
But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? Fuck naw
15
Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips, bust shots
16
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not
17
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not
18
Let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
19
Let's stick up the world and split it fifty-fifty, uh-huh
20
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh-huh
21
And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy
22
Flow infinitely like the memory of my nigga Biggie, baby
23
You know it's hell when I come through
24
The life and times of Shawn Carter, nigga Volume 2
25
Y'all niggaz get ready
26
It's the hard knock life, for us
27
It's the hard knock life, for us
28
Steada treated, we get tricked

Steada kisses, we get kicked
30
It's the hard knock life
31
I flow for those 'dro'ed out
32
All my niggaz locked down in the ten by fo', controllin' the house
33
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over, we borrow blocks
34
Burn 'em down and you can have them back daddy, I'd rather that
35
I flow for chicks wishin', they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
36
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the longshots
37
All my ballers that's born to clock
38
Now I'ma be on top whether I perform or not
39
I went from lukewarm to hot, sleepin' on futons and cots
40
To king size, dream machines, the green fives
41
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
42
Then I put it down type braile
43
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies
44
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit
45
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin'
46
I'm tryin' to murder everything movin', feel me?
47
It's the hard knock life, for us

It's the hard knock life, for us

55
It's the hard knock life
56
I don't how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
57
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
58
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress
59
You'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me
60
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out
61
Didn't really appreciate it, til' the second one came out
62
So I stretched the game out, x'ed your name out
63
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya, nigguh
64
It's the hard knock life, for us
