Joe *****er - Hard Knocks Lyrics
Oh yeahDidn't take nothing that I didn't need'Cause they didn't offer classes in what I want to beThey didn't offer manhood responsibilityHad to learn it the hard way, earn my degree in the streetsGraduated from hard knocks, I got my educationAnd hard knocks cared a little about the situationHard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove itHard knocksCan't bust through the ceiling without feeling the burnAnd I ain't got nothing that I didn't earnChasing that dollar, still hitting the booksStudying Donnie and Stevie, I learn to sail the hooksTalk about those hard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove itHard knocks, got the rhyme and the reason to choose itHard knocks out on the streetsHard knocksHad a real good teacher named Mr. LifeDidn't teach no chemistry but he taught me how to fightDidn't teach biology but I learned it from the birds and the beesSaid stay close to your friends, closer to your enemiesOh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's rightOh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that's rightOh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so rightI graduated from hard knocks, I got my educationAnd hard knocks getting in and out of situationsHard knocks, got the bumps and the bruises to prove itHard knocks, oh LordFeeling at my soul, all the heads in painFrom my hard knocksI've got the bumps and the bruises to prove itDeep inside, oh yeah
