The Hard Way

When I was born
The Lord said to me
Take your time
And try and see
That everything happens
Just like a rhyme
Son you’re gonna see what I have in mind
Well it’s going down
Just like I say
And if you fight it
It’s gonna be the hard way
Lord
Now what’s all the big deal
Why don’t you let me run this show
You know I won’t steal
I love your thunder
Maybe I can be
The first man alive to show the world
How to survive
Well it’s going down
Just like I say
And if you fight it
It’s gonna be the hard way
The hard way
Now I didn’t listen to a word he said
And for a long time
You know I walked with the dead
I tried to fight it, almost all of my life
But all it got me baby
Was pain and strife
Well it’s going down
Just like I say
And if you fight it
It’s gonna be the hard way
The hard way
The hard way
The hard way
The more you fight it
The more it’s gonna be the hard way
The more you got em baby
The more you got em baby
It’s gonna be the hard way
The hard way
The hard way
