This is a song about "Life gets hard"

St. louis, detroit, chi-town, nap

No matter how hard it gets to look back

Probably be dirt rich and worthless

It’s the hard knock life, for us,

Its the same hard life rapper scenario

They all need attention, they call me a g though

I say its a hard life growing up, with no trust with you're parents, hard life

It's hard to have american pride when most of your money's made out of them lies

I'm everything that they call nice

The drug life, a hard life, no wife

Even though life might seem hard sometimes...

Niggas in jerusalem, waitin for signs

It’s the hard knock life (x2)

11.1.11 is when it all makes sense

It’s the hard knock life, for us,

Tawiah - all i need chorus
