Usage: lyrics
I'm sure a lot ya'll can relate to me/
You see I'm from the ghetto/
A place where me and my brother shared/
The hardwood floor when the winter was cold...
What you know about that hard knock life?/
What you know about that welfare life?/
Scrape for dinner and government cheese/
I'm sure a lot ya'll can relate to me/
You see I'm from the ghetto/
A place where me and my brother shared/
The hardwood floor when the winter was cold...
What you know about that hard knock life?/
What you know about that welfare life?/
Scrape for dinner and government cheese/
