The Easy Way Out

The Easy Way Out

(Verse 1)
I'm breaking this chain
Toughing it out
Through the pain and the rain
I get on my grind 
Hoping one day it'll change 
Sometimes seems like 
Situations the same 
Working  you work real hard
At these dead end jobs
Then ,finally take a stand
Grab the paper 
Write down a plan 
Got the upper hand 
I raised it high
Know with the man  above 
Is listening in the sky
He'll help me  get by
When it feels like a drought 
One thing about it
Don't want the easy way out

(Chorus )
Wake up every morning 
Trying to figure out
What this thing called life 
Is all about 
Don't want everything given to me 
Want to earn mine 
Grant me the serenity 
I don't want all of the hand outs(no hand outs)
I will not take the easy way out

(Verse 2)
Here I go 
Tired of the struggle 
Lord help me out
Make it double 
Double the blessings 
Lesser I'm stressing 
You said the teacher talking 
Well I'm learning my lesson
I'm taking heed 
All i`m trying to do
Is really succeed 
By any means necessary 
I'm going to get it
I'll do everything I'll never quit it
I'll relive it
Get over my pass
It's a true saying 
Trouble don't last 
Listen please
Hear me out 
Don't always take the easy way out (out)

Chorus )
Wake up every morning 
Trying to figure out
What this thing called life 
Is all about 
Don't want everything given to me 
Want to earn mine 
Grant me the serenity 
I don't want all of the hand outs(no hand outs)
I will not take the easy way out

Hook
Every body 
Should want 
To do better
And if you don't 
Get it together 
Don't just look for handouts 
Don't always look for the easy way out
Every body 
Should want 
To do better
And if you don't 
Get it together 
Don't just look for handouts 
Don't always look for the easy way out

Chorus )
Wake up every morning 
Trying to figure out
What this thing called life 
Is all about 
Don't want everything given to me 
Want to earn mine 
Grant me the serenity 
I don't want all of the hand outs(no hand outs)
I will not take the easy way out

Repeat until chorus fades
