School Of Hard Knocks Lyrics
[chorus]
we from the school, the school of hardknocks
who's ready to rock? (ready to rock)
are you ready to rock? (ready to rock)
round'n up suckaz, knock'em, knock'em out the box
Graduate at 13, the streets made me a scholar
flood the microphone, one by one, hear'em holler
the sure shoots, rock box, rhym'n on blasted beats
mics on my side, they call me Hip Hop Along Cassidy
rap'n catasrophe, 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
[chorus]
I came through the door, I said it before
we pioneers, redefining hardcore
you want more MC's and DJ's
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?

i dont know but it rocked live at the glasgow, barrolands
it sounds like it is a song about how the band was riased in the gettho and then made it big.
they also rocked at K-Rockathon. What C.D. can I find this on?
you can find it in the Little Nicky soundtrack
I love this song and i watch little nicky everyday! Awesome awesome song i love it! Music video is a little strange but ...hey it's a good song!
"They call me Hip Hop Along Cassidy."
Wow, inspired. I'm sure they get as much respect from the hip-hop scene as they do from rock.
WTF killpop. Do you even know what a ghetto is. Most of POD grew up in the suburbs of San Diego.. this song seems a bit of a contrast to their interview on [v] Hmmmm...
I'm pretty sure this song describes how all Sonny ever wanted to do was be a singer/rapper from when he was growing up, that he was sure he was good enough because people told him he was great and he was sure all it took was time to get to the top
"flood the microphone, one by one, hear'em holler the sure shoots, rock box, rhym'n on blasted beats mics on my side, they call me Hip Hop Along Cassidy rap'n catasrophe, but only time will tell could we excel and rock bells like LL"
The second verse talks about how he got to the top, but it want easy and they had to play a lot of small gigs, but it paid off..
"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"
A self-correction: The second verse talks about how he got to the top but it WASNT easy...
I attended the skool of hard cocks :P yumyumyum
