Braille: I learned the hard way.
Yo, sick of the thought of all the battles that I fought.
Tangled up intestines and my stomachs in a knot.
When will I learn my lesson, wrestling with flesh and blood.
Fallen so far behind, it's like I'm never catching up.
Ambition in my belly so I take a bigger bite than I can chew, but now it's too late to spit out my food.
Swallow my pride, take the bitter pill when I feel hypercritical and hypocritical combined.
A bad combination.
Birds of a featherweight afraid of heights, so they never elevate of fly.
The fear of failure make you scared to even try, 'cause you're so self-aware that you're not quite there.
I learned the hard way like it was a broadway.
Show in broad daylight and everybody saw.
They probably talking right now, I hear voices in the background when I turn the track down.
Every scar in my repertoire is a reminder of my weakness, leading me back to Jesus.
Oh how I need his mercy and grace always.
We all fall short and I learned that the hard way.
Andy Mineo: Sharing life's ills while the ink spills from the independent will.
Where do I begin?
My hands take a walk, they talk with my skin, feel the scars from all of them hard lessons of my sin.
Put it in laymens, I thought that my game plan was better than the one of who's image I was made in.
Making my own choices, 'stead of heedin' his voice, kid.
I went and mixed a cup of that poison.
Yeah, scotch felt so good 'till the morning but was only scotchtaped to what an earthquake had broken.
Pain that way, what I gained in enjoyment.
Dang, and I could've avoided it.
But you gonna suffer no matter what lane you choose to take.
The pain of change or the pain of just staying the same.
So while you wrestle with the choice, think good 'cause only one leads to joy.
I love my father, tell his good boy not his hand on the pot 'cause he know the joint hot.
And we get all burned up, he just don't want us burned up.
But sometimes it takes a good oww to get learned up.
I learned the hard way.
