[Intro]
The old school of hard knocks
Wonder if it still rocks
[Verse 1]
Thought you were too cool
To go to school
Turned out to be a fool
Gawd! What a tool
[Bridge]
The old school of hard knocks
Wonder if it still rocks
[Chorus]
Will you ever learn
(How to learn)
An acquired gift
(Help others lift)
[Verse 2]
Flunked another course
On the universe
Failed the pop quiz
Time he analyses
[Bridge]
The old school of hard knocks
Wonder if it still rocks
[Chorus]
Will you ever learn
(How to learn)
An acquired gift
(Help others lift)
[Bridge]
The old school of hard knocks
(Built your cage, proves it locks)
The old school of hard knocks
(Sell your bonds, sell your stocks)
[Outro]
Admire how to acquire
(The gift… uplift)
