"Adopted Child" lyrics

It's a hard knock life
It's gon' be alright
Win or lose it's part of life
Wanted this shit so bad I stayed up all night
Put my heart all in this song
Put my pain in the mic
With this shit I soaked the game
I been climbing up the mountain
My momma had all boys but I feel so adopted
My destiny upon
I've been tryna take off like a rocket

I ain't really into playing games
Gave you my all I risked everything
Sold weed and that rock just for me to spit this real pain
Real relate to real get the fuck up out my way
Never been a yes man always meant what I say
I'm quick to bust a nigga top real caution where I stay
I never talk behind your back I always say it face to face
See loyalty don't come around no more
I don't really fuck with groupie hoes they be doing the most
Don't get me mad I explode
She say she love me I don't know
Cause I've been broken before
Feel like I been fighting for my life I been on trial
It's been a minute since I was happy and I laughed and I smiled

It's a hard knock life
It's gon' be alright
Win or lose it's part of life
Wanted this shit so bad I stayed up all night
Put my heart all in this song
Put my pain in the mic
With this shit I soaked the game
I been climbing up the mountain
My momma had all boys but I feel so adopted
My destiny upon
I've been tryna take off like a rocket

I look my brothers in they eyes I told them I'm here forever
It was raining it was cold we ain't even have no shelter
Told Bubba everything's gonna be alright
Get through this shit and just make it through the night
I can't tell you every night that I done cried
I let it drip off till I could find a safe place so I could cry
Eviction notice on the door my brothers posted at the store
Tryna find a way to survive so we grind all night
You know it's kill on sight

Ooh
I been here for a minute feel like I'm stuck in the beginning
It's the beginning yeah
Ooh
I don't know no roxy
Pray that I won't be toxic

It's a hard knock life
It's gon' be alright
Win or lose it's part of life
Wanted this shit so bad I stayed up all night
Put my heart all in this song
Put my pain in the mic
With this shit I soaked the game
I been climbing up the mountain
My momma had all boys but I feel so adopted
My destiny upon
I've been tryna take off like a rocket
