Hard Knock Life

[Intro] Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin'? Don't it seem like there's never any light? Once a day don't you wanna throw the towel in? It's easier than puttin' up a fight [Chorus] It's a hard knock life for us It's a hard knock life for us! Instead of treated, we get tricks Instead of kisses, we get kicks It's a hard knock life for us It's a hard knock life for us! Instead of treated, we get tricks Instead of kisses, we get kicks It's a hard knock life [Verse] Live in hard knocks We don't take over, we borrow blocks I see your vision, mama Put my money on the longshots Know I'ma bе on top when I'm performin' I went from lukеwarm to hot, sleepin' on futons and cots Yeah [Pre-Chorus] No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy No one cares if you grow or if you shrink No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy From all the crying you would think this place would see Yeah! [Chorus] It's a hard knock life for us It's a hard knock life for us! Instead of treated, we get tricks Instead of kisses, we get kicks It's a hard knock life for us It's a hard knock life for us! Instead of treated, we get tricks Instead of kisses, we get kicks It's a, it's a It's a hard knock life!
