I'ts kinda like a hard knock song
One's sleeping in tha streets cuz' tha world is wrong
This is maniac tha whole plan is overboard
Rent so steep I might smack the landlord
It's hard times on a global scale
Crooked cops on tha streets filllin' up tha jails
Wanna go to school but can't pay tuition
Only hearin' lies from all tha politicians
This is tha life where I'm from
and I don't give a f*** cuz' tha world is slum
no matter where u at or if u got money
can't hide from tha fact that the streets is hungry
it's bound to come back like bunjees
or even boomerang cuz' tha karmas ugly
each man deserve respect
whether or not he got commas off in his check
Chorus
This is for tha world-
Takin'on hard knocks tha trade winds swirl
Goin through hard times this is for tha world
It's hard to find work these days
Couldn't even get a job payin minimum wage
Taxin' us to death with cuts for the wealthy
Ain't got insurance and dog that ain't healthy
And wonder why i keep on tha grind
Gotta stay makin beats just to ease my mind
The city is a magnet for violent crime
You can get held up for your cash at any time
They fightin' wars but movies televised
Got twenty news stations that sensationalize
Currency is weak no signs of gettin' better
Paid fifty just to fill up tha tank in Mike's Jetta
Spendin' more chedda with tha price inflatin
Fake canididates on tha stage debatin'
I gots no choice in who runs for government
I'm a say f*** tha world B.A. for president
Chorus
This is for tha world-
Takin'on hard knocks tha trade winds swirl
Goin through hard times this is for tha world
One's sleeping in tha streets cuz' tha world is wrong
This is maniac tha whole plan is overboard
Rent so steep I might smack the landlord
It's hard times on a global scale
Crooked cops on tha streets filllin' up tha jails
Wanna go to school but can't pay tuition
Only hearin' lies from all tha politicians
This is tha life where I'm from
and I don't give a f*** cuz' tha world is slum
no matter where u at or if u got money
