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 Written by:Concetta Hardnett 4/12/2016
