Let it bump though
4
It's the hard knock life, for us
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
13
Fleein' the murder scene, you know me well
14
From nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
15
But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? Fuck naw
16
Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips, bust shots?
17
And if you with me, mom, I rub on your tits, and what not
18
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not
19
Let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
20
Let's stick up the world and split it fifty-fifty
21
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy
22
And sip the cris' and get pissy pissy
23
Flow infinitely like the memory of my nigga biggie, baby
24
You know it's hell when I come through
25
The life and times of Shawn Carter
26
Nigga Volume 2, y'all niggaz get ready
27
It's the hard knock life, for us
28
It's the hard knock life, for us
29
Steada treated, we get tricked
30
Steada kisses, we get kicked
31
It's the hard knock life!
32
I flow for those 'dro'ed out all my niggaz
33
Locked down in the ten by fo', controllin' the house
34
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks
35
Burn 'em down and you can have it back, daddy, I'd rather that
36
I flow for chicks wishin', they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
37
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the longshots
38
All my ballers that's born to clock
39
Now I'ma be on top whether I perform or not
40
I went from lukewarm to hot, sleepin' on futons and cots
41
To king size dream machines, the green fives
42
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
43
Then I put it down type braille
44
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies
45
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit
46
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin'
47
I'm tryin' to murder everything movin', feel me
48
It's the hard knock life, for us
49
It's the hard knock life, for us
50
Steada treated, we get tricked
51
Steada kisses, we get kicked
52
It's the hard knock life, for us
53
It's the hard knock life, for us
54
Steada treated, we get tricked
55
Steada kisses, we get kicked
56
It's the hard knock life
57
I don't know how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
58
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
59
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress
60
You'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me
61
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out
62
Didn't really appreciate it, till the second one came out
63
So I stretched the game out, x'ed your name out
64
Put jigga on top, drop albums non-stop for ya, nigga
65
It's the hard knock life, for us
66
It's the hard knock life, for us
67
Steada treated, we get tricked
68
Steada kisses, we get kicked
69
It's the hard knock life, for us
70
It's the hard knock life, for us
71
Steada treated, we get tricked
72
Steada kisses, we get kicked
73
It's the hard knock life
74
It's the hard knock life
