Its been a hard knock life
Since I feel out the cut
Cold as all hell
Then the doctor smacked my butt
Mom tried a lot
And did just enough
I grew up sheltered
But not sheltered enough
I used to hit the streets
But now the street hit me up
I wanted to go to college
Figured bonehead or bone up
But time just flies by
Guess I
Missed my turn
But its one or the other
Either you live or you learn
Law and order under the veil
Of envy and greed
The same hoes and pimps from the street
Lead the country
Its the blind leading the blind
And the crooks leading the crooks
The hoes hoin the hoes
And he bitches leading the bitches
Like a Cutlass with no switches
Never goin up
No matter how long you wait
You always wind up stuck
And even if you try your best
See its never enough
And then when people try to test
Yo they callin your bluff
Hook:
I know my broke folks can relate
Its hard nowadays sick of going to wakes
Im still tryin to get myself a piece of the cake
I know theres sumthin comin
I cant wait
(Repeat)
Stepped on the scene
Crazy as fuck
Robbin
And stealin
And pushin ni**as wig-ins
If they only let me fit in
Id be winnin
But all day everyday
I be sinnin
Its that lyrical assassin
Pushin beats
Make lyrical harass-ins
Fuck with me
Itll be your lass-in
Just like Kobe Bryant
Dont be passin
You dont know me anymore
Im not he same guy from before
Close the fucking door
Let me tell you how I feel
Expressions of continuous thoughts
Yo blasting with me steel
Serving sleeping insomniacs in route to art
Existence inactive
I take one cap straight to my heart
Feeling shittier than shit
I harass to maintain this block status
Yo deep into this shit
Paying my tribute getting high
Feeling my pain alive
Then deny
Lurking in deep pockets
Listening to every sound and every action
Fulfill my satisfaction
Yo what is your reaction
Interacting on a different level
Spinning circles, circles spinning
Yo challenging that devil
Survival of the street rivals
Life is rhythm
Harmony we find
Our true voice
Our true color
Organizing true resistance
To global economics
It may be too late to save mans night
Remember child innocence
Reciting in cool gardens
And if you cannot comprehend then you must be retarded
Chico, Asko, Mojo, Noon
