the hardway

Lyrics

ya, you wish the hard way, you'll have to learn the hard way, but it's like this, yo, some people gotta learn the hard way, i guess i'm the kinda guy who's got to find out for myself, i had to learn the hard way, father, i'm on my knees and i'm cryin' for help, the warnin' signs like flares in the night, i proceed with my greed indeed but now in spite of the fire, i knows to burn i never learn, as the world turns on its axis i'm like saul on the road to damascus, i'm like broken fragments of broken glasses, can't see the facts' from the fiction, god's voice now speakin', but i never listened got me wishin', i never took the hard way, 'cause every day is a hard day, turn my heart away, 'cause god be feeling like he's far away, jesus take the scars away 'cause life be mad hard today, i'm tryin' hard not to sway, selfish way's finally catchin' up to me, but if i fall, i know you's catchin' me, i know you's catchin' me, yo, i know you's catchin' me, but there's times i have to learn the hard way tough, like this, some people gotta learn the hard way, i guess i'm the kinda guy who's got to find out for myself, i had to learn the hard way, father, i'm on my knees and i'm cryin' for help, i've been high and low but the stories told, my eyes can show that i walked the hard ways road, when it's my time to go i'll stand toe to toe, to one who grips my soul, whose never lettin' go, life's so cold but so many times, i shed so many tears from so many eyes, spoke so many lies, i was the maker of my own demise, my own face i couldn't recognize, woke up one day and realized my compromised lifestyle, since the birth canal to a juvenile yo, this kid was wild, sometimes it hurts to smile but jesus thought, to make it worth my while i keep it versatile, like i was could write spanish backwards in a cursive style, but in the meanwhile to the mean time, i leave the blind to lead the blind, leave the past way far behind, all the way out of sight and out of mind, some people gotta learn the hard way, i guess i'm the kinda guy who's got to find out for myself, i had to learn the hard way, father, i'm on my knees and i'm cryin', i'm cryin' for help, for help, i'm cryin', i'm cryin', for help, for help, for help, cryin', i'm cryin', some people gotta learn the hard way, the hard way, the hard way, some people gotta learn the hard way, the hard way, the hard way, some people gotta learn the hard way, i guess i'm the kinda guy who's got to find out for myself, i had to learn the hard way, father, i'm on my knees and i'm cryin', some people gotta learn the hard way, i guess i'm the kinda guy who's got to find out for myself, i had to learn the hard way, father, i'm on my knees and i'm cryin', some people gotta learn the hard way, i guess i'm the kinda guy who's got to find out for myself, i had to learn the hard way, father, i'm on my knees and i'm cryin'
