Off the porch to the trap Guess what? From the trap to the stage So glad, it was all just a phase Livin' life the harder way Hope you make it through the day I know you tryin' to figure out what's a better path to take What's a better route to take Should you go or should you stay I know this life can have you taking turns you never shoulda' take Livin' life the hard away Hope you make it through the day I know you tryin' to figure out what's a better path to take What's a better route to take Should you go or should you stay I know this life can have you taking turns you never shoulda' take Hard way
