The Hardway (Live 1994) DC Talk

[Chorus: Kevin Max]
Some people gotta learn the hard way
I guess I'm the kind of guy who has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hard way
I'm on my knees and I'm cryin' for Your help

[Verse 1: TobyMac, TobyMac, Kevin Max & Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
Now I've been high and I've been low
I've been some places that you will not go, yeah
I never thought there would come the day
When I wished I never woulda lived this way, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1: Michael Tait]
I've been searchin' for a long, long time
I thought the Devil was a friend of mine
I turned my back on everything that was true
And wasted years that bеlong to You, oh

[Chorus: Kevin Max, Kevin Max, Michael Tait & TobyMac, Michael Tait]
Some people gotta lеarn the hard way
And I guess I'm the kinda guy who has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hard way
I'm on my knees and I'm cryin' for Your help, ah-ah ooh-ooh hoo-ooh-hoo

[Verse 2: TobyMac, TobyMac, Kevin Max & Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
It took so long for me to see
That I'm a victim of a nature in me, oh
Left to myself, I realize
I am a maker of my own demise, yeah
