Oh yeah

Didn't take nothing

that I didn't need

'Cause they didn't offer

classes in what I want to be

They didn't offer

manhood responsibility

Had to learn it the hard way

Earn my degree in the streets

Graduated from hard knocks

I got my education

And hard knocks cared a

little about the situation

Hard knocks

Got the bumps and the

bruises to prove it

Hard knocks

Can't bust through the ceiling

without feeling the burn

And I ain't got nothing

that I didn't earn

Chasing that dollar

still hitting the books

Studying Donnie and Stevie

I learn to sail the hooks

Talk about those hard knocks

Got the bumps and the

bruises to prove it

Hard knocks got the rhyme

And the reason to choose it

Hard knocks out on the streets

Hard knocks

Had a real good teacher

named Mr Life

Didn't teach no chemistry

But he taught me how to fight

Didn't teach biology

But I learned it from the

birds and the bees

Said stay close to your friends

Closer to your enemies

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

that's right

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

that's right

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

so right

I graduated from hard knocks

I got my education

And hard knocks getting in

And out of situations

Hard knocks got the bumps

And the bruises to prove it

Hard knocks oh Lord

Feeling at my soul

All the heads in pain

From my hard knocks

I've got the bumps and

the bruises to prove it

Deep inside oh yeah
