Background

Some stories you listen in on.

And, be, even if she trying to take and have a few dollars, it wouldn’t hate much.

Yet, hopefully, keep her from silly and slipping.

Hard Knock Life

Lyrics

I flow for those ‘dro’ed out

I flow for chicks wishin’, they ain’t have to strip to pay tuition
I see your vision, mama
I put my money on the longshots

Rappers, y’all might feel we homies
I’m like, “Still, y’all don’t know me”
Shit, I’m tight grill when my situation ain’t improvin’

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 life!

I don’t know how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
Got a lotta beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
