Hard Knock Life lyrics

Artist  : Jay Z 
Song : Hard Knock Life



 Send "Hard Knock Life" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Take the baseline out, uh huhJigga uh huh uh huh
uh huhLet it bump though
It's the hard knock life for us (uh-huh)
It's the hard knock life for usSteada treated, we
get tricked
Steada kisses, we get kickedIt's the hard knock
life!!

From standing on the corners boppin
To driving some of the hottest cars New York has
ever seen
To dropping some of the hottest verses rap has
ever heard
From the dope spot, where the smoke block
Fleeing the murder scene, you know me well

From nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
But since when ya'll niggas know me to bail? f**k
Naw
Where all my niggas with the rubber grips, Bust
shots
And if you with me ma I rubbing your tits, and
what not
I'm form the school of the hard knocks, we must
not

Let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
Let's stick up the world and split it 50-50, uh
huh
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh huh
Let's sip the Cris and get pissy pissy

Flow infinently like the memory of my nigga
Biggie, baby!You know it's hell when I come
through
The life and times of Shawn Carter nigga Volume
2, ya'll niggas get ready
Annie Sample: It's the hard knock life for us
It's the hard knock life for us
Steada treated, we get trickedSteada kisses, we
get kicked
It's the hard knock life!!

I flow for those droned out
All my niggas locked down in the 10 by 4
controlling the house
We live in hard knocks we don't take over we
borrow blocks
Burn 'em down and you can have 'em back daddy,
I'd rather that
I flow for chicks wishing they ain't have to
strip to pay tuition
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the
longshots
All my ballers that born to glockNow I'ma be on
top whether I perform or not
I went from lukewarm to hot

Sleeping on foutons and cots, the king size,
dream machines, the green fives
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes
analyze life's ills
Then I put it down tight grill
I'm tight grill with the phony rappers you might
feel we homeys
I'm like still you don't know me, shit
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improving
I'm trying to murder everything moving, Feel Me!!

It's the hard knock life for us It's the hard
knock life for us
Steada treated, we get trickedSteada kisses, we
get kicked
It's the hard knock life for us It's the hard
knock life for us
Steada treated, we get trickedSteada kisses, we
get kicked
It's the hard knock life!!
I don't how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my
toes
Gotta a lot of beef so logically I prey on my
foes
Hustlin still inside of me and as far as progress
You be hardpressed to find another rapper hot as
me
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and ya'll
lamed out
Didn't really appreciate it till the second one
came out
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya
nigga

It's the hard knock life for us It's the hard
knock life for us
Steada treated, we get trickedSteada kisses, we
get kicked
It's the hard knock life for us It's the hard
knock life for us
Steada treated, we get trickedSteada kisses, we
get kicked
It's the hard knock life!!It's the hard knock
life!!It's the hard knock life!!
