Some Learn the Hard Way

Still got the price tag on your clothes, went to college

Dropped out on your own, but regardless

Had a dream you had to try

Looking for a better life

Some play it safe and some learn the hard way

(Some learn the hard way)

'Bout to go spend too much rent

Moved to L.A. just last weekend

Promised that one day you'll make it

All of your friends are connections

Smiling faces, never trust them

When shattered glass hits the pavement

Here for the chase, inches away

Stuck in the grind, 9-5 everyday

The life that you choose, battered and bruised

But you

Still got the price tag on your clothes, went to college

Dropped out on your own, but regardless

Had a dream you had to try

Looking for a better life

Some play it safe and some learn the hard way

(Some learn the hard way)

Feeling homesick and nervousness

Fear is running your brain

City of angels and actresses, thin is better they say

When 23 is too old in this, times been running, you're late

Stuck in traffic, you send a kiss, praying for your big break

Here for the chase, inches away

Stuck in the grind, 9-5 everyday

The life that you choose, battered and bruised

But you

Still got the price tag on your clothes, went to college

Dropped out on your own, but regardless

Had a dream you had to try (Had to try)

Looking for a better life (Better life)

Some play it safe and some learn the hard way

Some learn the hard way

Some learn the hard way
