Hard Knock Life - Live On MTV Unplugged / 2001

It's the hard knock life for us

It's the hard knock life for us

Instead of treated we get tricked

Instead of kisses we get kicked

It's the hard knock

From standin' on the corners boppin'

To drivin' some of the hottest

Cars New York has ever seen

From droppin' some of the

Hottest verses rap has ever heard

From the d**e spot with the smoke glock

Fleein' the murder scene you know me well

From nightmares of a lonely cell my only hell

But since when y'all know me to fail uh uh

Where all my brother with the rubber grips bust shots

And if you with me mama rub on your htits and what-not

I'm from the school of the hard knocks you must not

Let outsiders violate our blocks and my plot

Let's stick up the world and split it 5050 uh huh

Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy uh huh

And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy

Flow infinitely like the memory of the homie biggie baby

You know it's hell when I come through

The life and times of Shawn Carter yall volume 2 same

It's the hard knock life for us

It's the hard knock life for us

Instead of treated we get tricked

Instead of kisses we get kicked
