[00:00.00] Jay-Z - Hard Knock Life(VOL.2)
[00:02.47]
[00:02.32] Check the bassline out' uh-huh
[00:06.54] Jigga (bounce wit it)' uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh' yeahh
[00:11.35] Let it bump though
[00:11.89] It's the hard knock life (uh-huh) for us
[00:14.60] It's the hard knock life' for us!!
[00:17.64] Steada treated' we get tricked
[00:20.90] Steada kisses' we get kicked
[00:23.90] It's the hard knock life!!
[00:25.64] From standin on the corners boppin
[00:27.71] to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
[00:29.98] For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
[00:33.26] From the dope spot' with the smoke Glock
[00:35.18] fleein the murder scene' you know me well
[00:37.16] from nightmares of a lonely cell' my only hell
[00:40.50] But since when y'all niggaz know me to fail? Fuck naw
[00:43.55] Where all my niggaz with the rubber grips' bust shots
[00:46.50] And if you with me mom I rub on your tits' and what-not
[00:49.82] I'm from the school of the hard knocks' we must not
[00:52.83] let outsiders violate our blocks' and my plot
[00:56.01] let's stick up the world and split it fifty/fifty' uh-huh
[00:58.94] Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy' uh-huh
[01:02.06] And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy
[01:04.52] Flow infinitely like the memory of my nigga Biggie' baby!
[01:08.47] You know it's hell when I come through
[01:10.76] The life and times of Shawn Carter
[01:12.50] nigga Volume 2' y'all niggaz get ready
[01:14.94] It's the hard knock life' for us
[01:16.84] It's the hard knock life' for us!!
[01:19.88] Steada treated' we get tricked
[01:23.29] Steada kisses' we get kicked
[01:26.19] It's the hard knock life!!
[01:28.06] I flow for those 'dro'ed out; all my niggaz
[01:30.33] locked down in the ten by fo'' controllin the house
[01:33.20] We live in hard knocks' we don't take over we borrow blocks
[01:36.50] Burn em down and you can have it back daddy' I'd rather that
[01:39.76] I flow for chicks wishin' they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
[01:43.43] I see you vision mama' I put my money on the longshots
[01:47.15] All my ballers that's born to clock
[01:49.16] Now I'ma be on top whether I perform or not
[01:52.07] I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots
[01:56.00] to King Size' dream machines' the green fives
[01:58.47] I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
[02:02.06] Then I put it down type braile
[02:04.16] I'm tight grill with the phony' rappers y'all might feel we homies
[02:08.36] I'm like still' y'all don't know me' shit!
[02:10.90] I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin
[02:13.97] I'm tryin to murder everything movin' feel me?!
[02:16.88] It's the hard knock life' for us
[02:22.26] It's the hard knock life' for us!!
[02:22.34] Steada treated' we get tricked
[02:25.39] Steada kisses' we get kicked
[02:28.67] It's the hard knock life' for us
[02:32.20] It's the hard knock life' for us!!
[02:35.03] Steada treated' we get tricked
[02:37.97] Steada kisses' we get kicked
[02:41.02] It's the hard knock life!!
[02:42.54] I don't how to sleep' I gotta eat' stay on my toes
[02:45.29] Gotta a lot of beef' so logically' I prey on my foes
[02:48.28] Hustling's still inside of me' and as far as progress
[02:51.54] you'd be hard-pressed' to find another rapper hot as me
[02:54.29] I gave you prophecy on my first joint' and y'all lamed out
[02:57.53] Didn't really appreciate it' til the second one came out
[03:00.55] So I stretched the game out' X'ed your name out
[03:03.37] Put Jigga on top' and drop albums non-stop for ya' nigguh!
[03:06.70] It's the hard knock life' for us
[03:09.18] It's the hard knock life' for us!!
