Check the bassline out, uh-huh |

Jigga (bounce wit it), uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh, yeahh |

Steada kisses, we get kicked |
| [00:24.120] |
It's the hard knock life!! |
| [00:25.920] |
From standin on the corners boppin |
| [00:27.420] |
to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen |
| [00:31.070] |
For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard |
| [00:33.720] |
From the dope spot, with the smoke Glock |
| [00:35.820] |
fleein the murder scene, you know me well |
| [00:37.970] |
from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell |
| [00:40.970] |
But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? Fuck naw |
| [00:44.020] |
Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips, bust shots |
| [00:47.540] |
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not |
| [00:50.190] |
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not |
| [00:53.590] |
let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot |
| [00:56.440] |
let's stick up the world and split it fifty/fifty, uh-huh |
| [00:59.090] |
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh-huh |
| [01:02.440] |
And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy |
| [01:04.490] |
Flow infinitely like the memory of my nigga Biggie, baby! |
| [01:08.890] |
You know it's hell when I come through |
| [01:11.190] |
The life and times of Shawn Carter |
| [01:13.090] |

| [01:29.440] |
I flow for those 'dro'ed out; all my niggaz |
| [01:32.490] |
locked down in the ten by fo', controllin the house |
| [01:35.090] |
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks |
| [01:37.740] |
Burn em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that |
| [01:40.890] |
I flow for chicks wishin, they ain't have to strip to pay tuition |
| [01:44.390] |
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the longshots |
| [01:48.090] |
All my ballers that's born to clock |
| [01:50.090] |
Now I'ma be on top whether I perform or not |
| [01:53.040] |
I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots |
| [01:56.840] |
to King Size, dream machines, the green fives |
| [01:59.490] |
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills |
| [02:02.640] |
Then I put it down type braile |
| [02:03.990] |
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies |
| [02:09.390] |
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit! |
| [02:11.990] |
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin |
| [02:15.290] |

| [02:47.400] |
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes |
| [02:50.300] |
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress |
| [02:53.350] |
you'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me |
| [02:56.800] |
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out |
| [03:00.100] |
Didn't really appreciate it, til the second one came out |
| [03:02.850] |
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out |
| [03:05.750] |
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya, nigguh! |
