Hard Knock Life Lyrics by NIKO KHALÉ

Storytime: Chapter 2

2017

(Hook)
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
Instead of kisses, we get kicked
No Merry Christmas
We ain't get shit
(Verse)
You ain't gotta live by the gun
To die by the gun
I face all my fears
I ain't gon' go out like Ricky
Next time that I run, no
Next time that I run
It may be for Mayor, yeah
Shout to you hoes in the game
That done made me a player
Shout to you critics for
Making me greater
Maybe one day me and
Jay will be neighbors
In a few years everything fake
Will be nature, my nigga
Let's pray to the Savior
Dreams about making it major
And smoking a J with the tailors
A house on a lake with some acres
Way out in the Bay with the Raiders
I ain't with the favors
I hustle for mine
It''s a jungle outside
And granny ain't even around
Anymore to come cover our eyes
But I'll figure it out
Without any bit of a doubt
If we're in the same lane, you and I?
You should probably consider
Switching your route
I'm sick of the drought
I'm not here to be great
I'm here to be GOAT
I'm here to teach hope
Even if that means I gotta shake
Hands with these Hollywood kids
And pretend folk
There's a lotta' impostors
Suicide if I don't keep the
Nine in my boxers
I'm high in my saucer
Stand up guy
I'm defined by my posture
Fly in my joggers
Bitches ain't shit
Therefore, why would I bother?
I am my father
Looked under the bed
Saw that I am my monsters
And I miss my mama
Broke so many hearts
One day I'll get me karma
Prepare for the worst things
I'm Niko Khale
I'm not there with you earthlings
Fuck all the small talk
Thr-throw it my way
And it's out of the ball park
They ran up on me
But they didn't know that
I came with my homie
That was just fortunate
Even if he wasn't there
I would bang on my lonely
I stay from 'round phonies
I can only imagine the
Things that I don't see
I always get profiled
'Cause I'm a brother and
I grew up a soul child
I'm known 'round the globe now
Trendsettin' for niggas
That ain't got they own style
(Hook)
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
Instead of kisses, we get kicked
No Merry Christmas
We ain't get shit
(Outro)
I wanna feel like I won't lose no more
Maybe I'll go find me a boo on tour
These niggas can't hold me back
I on't think you really do want war
I got a dream worth a
Future for my baby's babies
I be feeling like
Martin Luther on a daily basis
