What kinda hard knock life is this

A bed to sleep on, and food in the fridge

A computer to use, a television to watch

PS3 in my room, I really want an XBOX

Wake up in the morning mom and dad making break--fast

Turn on my ipod, listen to a setlist

Take a hot shower, spend about an hour

Thinkin bout the money and the women and the power

I put my shirt, pants, socks on, my shoes fit

My wallet's in my pocket hope I never lose it

And if I miss the school bus I take the Buick

Then blast the radio till I blare the music

Straight A report card cuz I'm educated

Everything comes really easy no reason to be dedicated

Laze around the house till I'm chased out

What da heck am I supposed to do now ya know

 

Some of y'all born with a silver spoon in ya mouth

Some of y'all spend ya afternoons on the couch

Clickin the remote where did the ambition go

The whole world's at your fingertips, if you didn't know

For me, I'm in college with a heap of debt

But I won't stop grinding, till I see death

Paying back loans, wishing to go back home

Making ends meet like a man with a backbone 

That's the vertebrae

Verses serve a purpose, hard work, turns into wordplay

Work pays and everybody's gotta do it

Like the shoe brand I can prove it, let’s get to it, 

My goal, my aim is to become a household name

But right now I'm a no name and that won't change

Til I figure out this madness and what my plan is

I'm sure, everything will come together like a sandwich, I’m hungry
