This song is about getting anything the hard way and making sure you keep it. No easy way and no short cuts. Work for what you want and you will get it.
lyrics
Don't have an angle,
Won't put my fait in tricks
I don't hope for good luck
and I'm not real big on risks
If there's one thing I've learned
you're gonna have to bleed just a bit
If you want what you want
You're gonna have eat some shit
Don't let the road BRING YOU DOWN
Just keep your feet ON THE GROUND
Keep your eye ON THE PRIZE
Some day the worlds gonna realize
Got what I got the Hard way
I didn't cheat I didn't lie
Got what I got The Hard Way
and I'm gonna keep it till I die 'Until I Die" -solo-
Don't take shortcuts,
No ace in my sleeve
A strong back and Iron Will
That's all I ever need
Don't let the road BRING YOU DOWN
Just keep your feet ON THE GROUND
Keep your eye ON THE PRIZE
Someday the world will realize
Got what I got The Hard Way
I didn't cheat I didn't lie
Got what I got the hard way
And I'm gonna keep it.......\
Got what I got The Hard Way
I didn't cheat I didn't lie
Got What I got The Hard Way
And I'm gonna keep it
And I'm gonna keep it
and I'm gonna keep it.....
Till I Die
