Born and raised in a one dog town

That never took a chance or a dare

The times kept a changin but it all passed em by

The prejudices in the air

Drove me to cocaine eyes by the age of one five

Kept my momma walking the floor

But I had to draw the line for the very last time

She kicked my [bad word] out the door

It aint always easy when youre living hand to mouth

The more you put in, the less you get out

It aint always easy when youre living day to day

It aint always easy when youre tryin to make your own way

Make your own way

When lifes a little hard on you

Make yor own way

Nobodys gonna die for you

I remember rollin dice on [bad word] 
Looking for a winning hand

We never stop to wonder at the wonders passing by

Just searchin for the promised land

We met a mean old man

Who dealt a dirty hand

Promised we could touch the sky

But the devils his friend

He put the pen in my hand

Said you can pay me back after you die

It aint always easy when youre living hand to mouth

The more you put in, the less you get out

It aint always easy when youre living day to day

It aint always easy when youre tryin to make your own way

Make your own way

When lifes a little hard on you

Make yor own way

Nobodys gonna die for you

Ah, ah, ah sometimes you gotta walk the straight line

Ah, ah, ah feel like Im just doing time

Ooo, when life gets a little hard

You gotta gotta ooo make your own way

Sometimes you gotta make your own way

Here we go

Ooo, sing it for em now, yeah

Make your own way

When lifes a little hard on you

Make your own way

Aint nobody gonna die for you

Make your own way

When lifes a little hard on you

Make your own way

Aint nobody gonna die for you

Make your own way

You gotta gotta make your own way

Make your own way

Make your own way

You gotta make your own way

Make your own way

Gotta make your own way

Make your own way
