Always the Hard Way

Self raised, self made

Nothing was ever handed to me

I tasted pain, the gutter hugged me

Till I stood up and embraced the flames

Always pushing, always searching

Always crossing the line

Try to hold me back

I swing the hammer of inner strength

Always the hard way

Nothing was never handed to me

Always the hard way

You taught me truth, you gave me strength

I learned everything the hard way

Helpless and crisis

Without them you never know better days

Unsound, self bound

Cause you never had to fight for anything
