Hard Knocks - Joe Cocker
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
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 Igot the boom this is ture
And hard knocks getting right rising to choose it
Hard knocks i have down the street
Hard knocks oh Lord
Feeling at my soul i am taling about the hard knocks
Wait down the silence
From my hard knocks
Let it bom all the way
