Take the baseline out:
No? You dont have to... BOUNCE WITH IT!!

life) mother (beep) y'all knew that.
Austin caught me in the first act that's all backwords, whats with that?
So I'll make a prophesy from the dogs to the mini me.
Gimme an escalade, 2 way bling-bling on Ebay. Domino, mother (beep)

It's a hard knock life (uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh) for us
Its a hard knock life for us
Steada treated
