Story Behind the Song
A ballad that I wrote about the struggles that I see people go through in life. Sometimes it seems like everyone is against us.
Lyrics
He goes through the battles, from day to day
He puts up with all of, the things that they say
He takes the abuse, he needs the money
He's got a girl that's gonna have his baby
I hearby enroll you into the school of hard knocks
I hearby confer unto you the degree of hard knocks
The school of hard knocks, the school of hard knocks
The school of hard knocks
Rundown apartments, and noodles for dinner
They're short on the rent again, and the eviction grows nearer
No one believes in me but you
I might lose my job, but I've still got you
I hearby enroll you into the school of hard knocks
I hearby confer unto you the degree of hard knocks
The school of hard knocks, the school of hard knocks
The school of hard knocks
Solo
Life is a struggle, we try to compete
We're two checks away from livin' in the streets
Money is tight, I can't sleep at night
It's just so tough, to stand in their sights
I hearby enroll you into the school of hard knocks
I hearby confer unto you the degree of hard knocks
The school of hard knocks, the school of hard knocks
The school of hard knocks
