Hard Knock Life
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
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
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
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!
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!
