Heart Knocks Lyrics

Now coming to the stage we have Elijah Thomas

Thank y'all thank y'all very much

Now this song, I wrote it for my parents

Why don't y'all show them some love real quick

Thank you thank you

Alright I hope y'all like it

Thank you

I'm familiar with the

Hard Knocks keep pushing until your heart stops

And we all got what was given I'm giving all props

To my mom and dad

Who gave what they had

And some even though I know them babies was bad

I'm talking field trips, black eyes

Busted lips, Hella rides

Couple whippings made me cry

Always looking to provide

For the kid and the sibs

We getting so big

The lessons from the struggle shaped the way that we live

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

Broken beautifully isn't something that's new to me

Usually you would be confused so I'm saying truthfully

We was never the family on Christmas with all the presents

On Christmas we was the family enjoying each others presence

Eating breakfast

They playing the Motown record and two stepping

While counting all of their blessings

Cuz learning to treasure family is one of the greatest lessons

So tell them to keep the presents or maybe I'm being extra

The point is

Everything is pointless

If you don't have nobody else to join in

I know I got family that's annoying

At the family function I'm avoiding

These boring conversations

The talking bout the shows that they be spoiling

Hmmm It's sort of disappointing

I could say their names but I don't think its that important but

Nevertheless I confess I'm blessed to have a family

Hopefully yall can understand me

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No daddy Warbucks but my daddy taught us

Put the Lord before your fund and then you'll find your coordinates

I could never sell out for a couple of quarters

Less is more my nigga so you can't afford me

I been that nigga way before the chores

And I am that nigga way before the tour dates

The hard knock life yeah I come from the poor

To open the door, I'm sure I gotta couple of more gates

I know y'all ain't see that switch up coming I know y'all ain't see it

(Uh yeah yeah)

I'm the youngest of five the youngest alive (uh huh)

A couple of times that I should've died (uh huh)

It made me a king now I can survive

Still I rise see the fire when you look in my eyes

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

No it ain't nobody

That could do it like you

Do it like you

Give it up for Elijah Thomas

Thank y'all thank y'all thank y'all

Appreciate it

Mom and dad regardless of when anybody got to say

Y'all the best parents in the world

Alright good night everybody ET is out

Love y'all
