《School of Hard Knox》的歌詞如下：
Yeah, this is for the fellas who've been through it
The boys who been through it
Yeah, we've been through it, so let's do it
Yeah, you know the score
You know what it is
We here to do it
We on a mission, kill or be killed
On the corner, busses full of feds
Trying to trap our dreams, tryna put us to bed
School of hard knocks, that's where we breed
Chorus:
So hard knocks, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
So hard knocks, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
Life ain't easy, so let's do it
So hard knocks, so hard knocks
Taking lives and getting taken for it
Family men to rich men in jail
Our town was green now we red with envy
Bloodied heads of giants laid on the shelf
Some danced and sang like there was no tomorrow
While we tryna sleep under a bridge with spiders
Chorus:
So hard knocks, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
So hard knocks, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
But now the days are getting brighter
Now we don't give a damn
Trying to set our souls alighter
Life ain't easy but we gonna make it work again
Chorus:
So hard knocks, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
So hard knocks, so hard knocks
We've been through it, yeah
Verse 3:
Everyday I wake up and pray to the lord above me
Trying to make sense of all the madness and the strife around me
Trying to keep my feet on solid ground while the world around me is sinking fast
But I know that I can't let my past define my future and my fate be my own hands to cast
Chorus:
So hard knocks, we been through it
Life ain't easy, we been through it
So hard knocks, so hard knocks
Yeah, so hard knocks...
Outro:
Yeah, so let's do it... yeah!
