Marc Broussard - Hard Knocks lyrics

rate me

Didn't take nothin'

That I didn't need

'Cause they didn't offer

Classes in what I wanted 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

Got my education

Hard knocks

Gettin' in and out of situations

Hard knocks

Ooooooh, oooh

Hard knocks

From the dirty, dirty south

Didn't learn crawfish peelin'

Without feelin' the burn

And I ain't got nothin'

That I did not earn

Chasin' that ooooh

Still hittin' the books

Studying Donnie and Stevie

Learn to sail the hooks

Just enough

I graduated from hard knocks

Got the bumps and the bruises to prove it

Hard knocks

Magna cum laude

Hard knocks

Ooooooh, ooooh

Hard knocks

Yeah

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

Even closer to your enemies

Ooooooh

Hard knocks

Magna cum laude

Hard knocks

The bumps and the bruises to prove it

Hard knocks

Ooooooh, ooooh

Hard knocks

Yeah

Hard knocks

Hard knocks

Hard knocks

Hard knocks

Comin from where I'm from

Where I'm from, yeah

Ooooooooh
