This is a song about "Hard life"

Sometimes it's hard enough just dealin' with real life

In this cracked crack fag back slab in disguise

A coward dies a thousand deaths

It’s the hard knock life (x2)

Can't be positive, when the ghetto's where you live

To real life: large minds abroad the hardship of hard times

A bunch of backstabbing niggas, hope the knife ain’t there

I need guidance in my life sometimes hustle is hard to bear

I’m just saying a hard life really doesn’t discriminate,

Until we learn to pray, keep our families in shake

But a better life is hard to be sown

Gets older, bolder, and cold cause he's left alone

Leave the keys with that bitch, jets

It’s the hard knock life (x2)

Off rip that's genius

It’s the hard knock life, for us,
