Barrington Levy - Hardknock (Remix) lyrics
[Verse 1: Sloo] Uh Yo Tired of battling with my kind So the words to inspire, I must find Young and against this, prison like life sentence Methods we drenched in, systems of pretentious pretending I care less if you have rules, don't even mention I'll bend it, society and me ain't no friendship Drank under age just to get a little practise in Now I'm smashing bum wine, breakfast time crashing sh** Packing the water pipe never lack marijuana Like the shops in Amsterdam that we walk at night At least that's how it feels, lose memories to the past Live ahead of our time, our presence in the future last As long as the new age kids continue to thrive Put the hatred aside, reality has arrived, strive Put your four fingers up to the forehead It's a hardknock life but we couldn't do it more fresh [Hook] One day I'm tryna have a wife and kids So I just can't live my life like this And I ain't tryna learn what lifeless is So I just can't live my life like this I want the, gold chains and diamond rings But I just can't live my live like this And sometimes, I just wanna light this spliff But I just can't live my life like this [Verse 2: U.G] Uh Getting knocked hard by life in this hardknock lifestyle But I'm Rocky, knocking copies coz' they tryna copy my stlye Light a blunt or two to get this sh** off my mind And try get some insight on whats happening to all of human kind, uh Kinda scary how we k** each other for a twenty Mother Nature wondering what she gave birth to, now it's buried Cradling the dead while we k**ing what she created Hated by our creators for murdering the innocent So I'm knocking at the door of life, sacrificing myself like Jesus Christ Fighting right up against our rights, that left us wrong our entire lives Time to dominate, I bring the loaf to obliterate These chains they make and replace them with something more ornate Then I raise the stakes and break the faces of this fake estate Greatness comes to those who take, so I, ooh, I take I take! And twist our fates until the system changes into freedom I mean it, I'll even go to hell to slay demons [Hook: U.G] One day I'm tryna have a wife and kids But I just can't live my life like this, uh And I ain't tryna learn what lifeless is So I just can't live my life like this, uh I want the, gold chains and diamond rings So I just my life has come to this, uh And sometimes I wanna light this spliff So f** this sh**, I'll take a hit, uh [Hook: Hesan] One day I'm tryna have a wife and kids So I just can't live my life like this And I ain't tryna learn what lifeless is So I just can't live my life like this I want the, gold chains and diamond rings But I just can't live my live like this And sometimes, I just wanna light this spliff But I just can't end my life like this [Verse 3: Hesan] They say my dreams are too big, na boy, you stupid What you doing's useless, tryna make a movement But who's this? Telling me I can't do this All you did is fuel it, now watch me as I prove it This movement will get people off of the streets We using music to do it, to make a country complete Ambition bigger than the government who cannot compete We only have peace when everyone is an elite So, I put my soul in this rap And my heart in this track, just to give something back To those who have noe hope, broken soldiers Who can't hold the weight of the world on there shoulders How can they fly when they're left to die? I'm amazed we still call ourselves 'human KIND' Something needs to change Cos' it's a hardknock life and then we pa** away, uh [U.G] What's the word worth?
