Hard way!   Oh I learn the hard way   Someday!   I'll be on top someday   Right away!   But oh, I'm on the right way now   I paid!   With my pride I paid   One day!   I was down one day   I say!   I say I'm on the right path now   Frustration   I can't forget the loss of pride my sole regret   Memories of pain and fear   Regrets that I just can't bear   My pride!   People hurtin' my pride   Inside!   It burns my soul inside   Survive!   I know thta I can survive now   Fall down!   I've seen others fall down   This town!   I don't live for this town   High ground!   I'm headed towards higher ground   Frustration   I can't forget the loss of pride   My sole regret memories of pain and fear   Regrets that I just can't bear   One time I was beaten down,   I'm on m way to higher ground   My life don't have too much to say   I know I'll be on top one day
