Hard Knocks – “Strictly From The Bronx” lyrics

Da “School Of Hard Knocks” [Wild Pitch, 1992].

Over a thousand have tried but no one could stop me
Specifically cause this ain’t xerox copy
As I’m blinking, I’m thinking should I do this
Fully processed cause I

Hard Knocks – “Young Guns” lyrics

Da “School Of Hard Knocks” [Wild Pitch, 1992].

A era that doesn’t comprehend the word slow
Away with the make believe and land of GI Joes
Cause that’s bullshit
He turns 16 now his fingers got a trigger itch
And at the party in my building
Plaster drops as the bass shakes the

Hard Knocks – “Young Black Male” lyrics

Da “School Of Hard Knocks” [Wild Pitch, 1992].

I see the streets like a owl sees in the darkness
Back in the hood I wasn’t soft or the hardest
Just a Young Black Male
I didn’t ask to come here
Straight out the womb into a black hell
Out of 6 boys one must succeed
Cause mama had 6 mouths to

Hard Knocks – “Runaway Child, Running Wild” lyrics

Da “School Of Hard Knocks” [Wild Pitch, 1992].

Due to the circumstances the life he led
Caused him to take grim chances
So the streets swallowed him up like it does the dead
He left home cause 8 o’clock was too early for bed
Pants hanging off his ass on the corner shooting craps
He could rap but rather

Hard Knocks – “Hands Of A Stranger” lyrics

Da “School Of Hard Knocks” [Wild Pitch, 1992].

What would possess a man to rape
Preys on the weak, what woman can escape
The clutches of a date rape
These thoughts of a sadistic male
A night on the town, Jake wants to tax the tail
They did a movie, added dinner to

Hard Knocks – “Blow To The Head” lyrics

Da “School Of Hard Knocks” [Wild Pitch, 1992].

Put forth making competitors think twice
The brother ain’t swift with the rhyme he’s nice
Lyrics made to engrave amateurs whipped like slaves
Take heed as I ride the title like a wave
A blow to the throat to them who steal and quote
Changing phrases around blaspheming they wrote
The song of the

Hard Knocks – “Road To The Precinct” lyrics

Da “School Of Hard Knocks” [Wild Pitch, 1992].

One in my building, 2 across the street
I had to face the fact
I knew what one of them we’re gonna be
When we played cops and robbers he would always shoot me
Like he knew I would grow up being a threat to society
He always

Hard Knocks – “Opposite Side” lyrics

Chi mi conosce sa quanto io detesti il 95% dei siti di testi delle canzoni. Basta entrare in uno tra quelli che non fanno parte del 5% e le cause dell’odio si presenteranno tutte ai vostri occhi. Provare per credere.

Sorvoliamo sulla coltre di pubblicità invasiva che avvolge le pagine [questi siti sono un pugno in faccia all’usabilità]. I peggiori sono quelli che non hanno nemmeno l’accortezza di cambiare il colore dei link ai testi presenti oppure no nel database. Navigarci è una pratica da masochisti.

Così, stanco dei loro sporchi stratagemmi per il posizionamento nei motori, trascrivo qui qualche testo che [stranamente] non ho trovato sul web. Credo possa tornare utile!

E anche se dovessero finire copiaincollati nei loro “siti”, credo sia più piacevole leggere su della carta igienica, piuttosto. In ogni caso stanno anche qui ;-)

Ah, si tratta solo di trascrizioni dai booklet, quindi testi ufficiali.

Inaugura -casualmente- la serie “Opposite Side” degli Hard Knocks, da “School Of Hard
