"Hard Knock Life (Dr. Evil Version)" lyrics - JAY-Z

[Spoken:]
Take the base line out
No? You don't have to
Bounce with it

It's a hard knock life for us
It's a hard knock (yeah) life for us
Stead of treated, we get tricked
Stead of kisses, we get kicked
It's a hard knock life

I don't know how to be
No crib on MTV
God only knows
Got my mini me
And the GPS
See how it goes
Evil's all that I see
You ask me my name
D to the Rizzo
E to the Vizzo
I to the Lizzo
I'm a crazy mother &&^*
Y'all knew that!
Austin caught me in the 1st act
It's all backwards
What's with that?
So I'll make a prophecy from the dogs
To the mini me
Gimme an Escalade, my 2 way
Bling Bling on e-Bay
Domino mother &*^&

It's a hard knock life (yeah) for us
It's a hard knock life (Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!) for us
Stead of treated, we (Uh Ha) get tricked
Stead of kisses, (This is for my homies in Bruges).we get kicked
Its the hard knock life for us(Uh hu uh hu uh hu)
It's a hard knock life for us
Stead of treated, we get tricked
Stead of Kisses, (Aaahhhh, Cristal, my moto, a couple of bihatches, why not?)
It's a hard knock life

I gotta bust-a-move
Drop and bust-a-groove
Feeling fine,
Got an evil crew
Goldmember too
Lick my nine
Til then I'll #%$^
$^$@^ on my %^$
That's all
Fer shizzle my nizzle y'all

It's a hard knock life

This is a shout out to Hoova
God MC
You all know him, that's Jay-Z
I met him..
Well, I saw him in a restaurant once..

(It's a hard knock life)

[Spoken:]
Stick that in your blunt and smoke it
Yeah! I said blunt!
