Hard Knock Life

HARD KNOCK LIFE Today thoughts are uncontrollably flying in my head Pounding as they crush land And they are all in assortment Not a single one is an entertainment Ringing like a patient on some strong drug As I lay on my old rag I have got to get out and be free Can I go with this thought from these many thoughts of craziness Indulging to have me have ecstasy on crack Trust me, I can easily get a pack Don't judge me nor should you judge anyone We all have been here Trapped and in fear In a house whose windows are shuttered Doors tattered Vulnerable No hope for tomorrow It's a hard knock life Always pushing this wheel barrow For a penny to heal my hunger Am I exaggerating when I say things are hard and am hard hit My pit has never been this darkest Worse still deepest!
