Hard Knocks |
| Didn’t take nothing that I didn’t need |
| 'Cause they didn’t offer classes in what I want to be |
| They didn’t offer manhood responsibility |
| Had to learn it the hard way, earn my degree in the streets |
| Graduated from hard knocks, I got my education |
| And hard knocks cared a little about the situation |
| Hard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove it |
| Hard knocks |
| Can’t bust through the ceiling without feeling the burn |
| And I ain’t got nothing that I didn’t earn |
| Chasing that dollar, still hitting the books |
| Studying Donnie and Stevie, I learn to sail the hooks |
| Talk about those hard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove it |
| Hard knocks, got the rhyme and the reason to choose it |
| Hard knocks out on the streets |
| Hard knocks |
| Had a real good teacher named Mr. Life |
| Didn’t teach no chemistry but he taught me how to fight |
| Didn’t teach biology but I learned it from the birds and the bees |
| Said stay close to your friends, closer to your enemies |
| Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s right |
| Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that’s right |
| Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so right |
| I graduated from hard knocks, I got my education |
| And hard knocks getting in and out of situations |
| Hard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove it |
| Hard knocks, oh Lord |
| Feeling at my soul, all the heads in pain |
| From my hard knocks |
| I’ve got the bumps and the bruises to prove it |
| Deep inside, oh yeah |
