"School Of Hard Knocks" lyrics

We from the school, the school of hard knocks
Who's ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
Are you ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
'Round 'em up suckaz, knock 'em, knock 'em out the box

We from the school, the school of hard knocks
Who's ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
Are you ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
'Round 'em up suckaz, knock 'em, knock 'em out the box

Since back in the days, all up in this
The tear 2G's, come again
Graduate at 13, the streets made me a scholar
Flood the microphone, one by one, hear 'em holler
The sure shots, rock box, rhymin' on blasted beats
Mics on my side, they call me Hip Hop Along Cassidy
Rap and catastrophe, but only time will tell
Could we excel and rock bells like LL
Made me feel I was ill, music euphoria
Went to the doctor, D.O.C. gave me the formula
Hey young world, the world is yours
Turned my whole wide world into metaphors
You kept me straight when times got hard
So let me reminisce over you my God

Old school, bring it back

We from the school, the school of hard knocks
Who's ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
Are you ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
'Round 'em up suckaz, knock 'em, knock 'em out the box

We from the school, the school of hard knocks
Who's ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
Are you ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
'Round 'em up suckaz, knock 'em, knock 'em out the box

Like back in the days, reminiscent
All up in this, this how we do this, 2Gs
Come on
I came through the door, I said it before
We pioneers, redefining hardcore
You want more MCs and DJs
Dues we pays 8 out of 7 days
In many ways, I've seen a lot go around
Pound for pound from S.D. to Boogie Down
We've been around, 'bout as round as they come
From all yes y'alls, to dum ditty dum dum
See this is philosophy, on the industry
That there ain't no other brothaz 'bout as bad as we
You see my squad stays on point
Rock this funky joint
Can you dig it?
Set me up, Here we go!

This is how we do
Party people in the place
This is how we do
1, 2, 3 say

We from the school, the school of hard knocks
Who's ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
Are you ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
'Round 'em up suckaz, knock 'em, knock 'em out the box

We from the school, the school of hard knocks
Who's ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
Are you ready to rock? (Ready to rock)
'Round 'em up suckaz, knock 'em, knock 'em out the box

Who's down?
So dance around to the funky sound
Who's down?
Make some noise and scream out loud
Who's down?
Throw your hands in the air right now
Who's down?
Jump around, jump around
