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!
