Hard Knock Life Lyrics

All of a sudden man

I'm looking at this world different

It's something bout the way

It set me up from the beginning

Had Premonitions as kid

You could say a vision

I knew some shit just wasn't right

It tried to make me different

It Tried to slip into my veins

And Kill my innocence

But now I'm screaming

Suck my dick

And that's on every inch

Tuh, Please excuse my language

But my nigga this is pain

Baby this is anguish man

I gotta disembody

Everything I've ever known

Cause everything that I was taught

Could never take me home

I gotta learn myself again

Need that Rosetta Stone

I Gotta hone it in

And make a way back to my throne

While all you niggas chasing clout

My clouded mind is all alone

Heavy burdens in my view

I'ma Finna drive em off the road

Shouldve took a different route

Money got me bugging

Always checking my account

And my boss a fucking a nut

I'm hella close to walking out

And mama calling back

Said she need a couple thou

They about to take the house

This is a hard knock life

But it's been all my life

This is a hard knock life

But it's been all my life

I'm from a city

Fenes roaches and Pennies

Made me into soldier

Straight of my mama titties

It's Killers on every corner

In outies they filled with semis

Bullets at any minute

I'm praying that god is with me

My people of the verge of breakdown

Extort us out the knowledge

Gotta watch the shakedown

Ain't nobody safe

In this law n order

War and slaughter

While they still snatching daughters

Hold up

Aint no room here For no black man

Especially no faggots

My homie almost took

Shortcut to head and blasted

His daddy tried to beat

The gay out as the pain embedded

But all the while he getting

Penetrated by the reverend

The illegitimate

Chameleons

Is killing us And

I been concealing

All my feelings

How I'm dealing with it?

Yearning for sunshine and rainbows

A free land

Never been

Star to spangled

The saying goes

Little white lies

The same rules

Keep us in box

Sell us off The same boats

Cops is on our necks

Get up off the man throat

Pigs is running loose

Gotta keep the heat close

BLOWE

I'm getting way too old

These better ways done fold

Cause when the days get hard

And the kids ain't fed

Niggas bread gettin stole

And the streets is getting hot

Baking soda on the stove

With the Zombies on the block

Devils high in they nose

Shit is really how goes

And this is word to HOV man

This is a hard knock life

But it's been all my life

This is a hard knock life

If it's been all my life
