Lyrics:

Some people gotta learn the hard way
I guess I'm the kinda guy who's gotta find out for myself
I had to learn the hard way Father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
V.1
Ayo the warning signs like flares in the night
I proceed with my greed indeed but now in spite of
The fire I know is 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 is from the fiction
God's voice now speaking
But I never listened, got me wishing
I never took the hard way
Coz everyday's a hard day
Turn my heart away
It's got me feeling like He's far away
Jesus take the scars away
Coz life be mad hard today
I'm trying hard not to sway huh
Selfish ways finally catching up to me
But if I fall, I know You's catching me
I know You's catching me

V.2
I've been high and low but the stories told
My eyes can show how I walked the hard ways road
When it's my time to go, I'll stand toe to toe
To the one who grips my soul, He's never letting go
Life's cold but so many times
I shed so many tears, saw 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 died to make it worth my while
I keep it versatile
Like I could write Spanish backward in a cursive style
But in the meanwhile to the mean time
I'll leave the blind to lead the blind
Leave my past way far behind
Hard way, out of sight and out of mind
