Oh, the hells IPut myself throughThe fights IDidn't need to fightThis thick head of mineYa couldn't get throughHad to do it wrongJust to get it rightJust to get it rightI learned the hard wayThe hard way taught me wellThe hard waySure put me (this boy) through some hellThe hard wayTaught me how to tellThe right way from the wrongAnd on which side I belongDeep are the memoriesAs a young boyOf the lessonsThat I learnedMy mama warnin' meThat fire is no toyYa play with fire boyAnd you get burnedOh I got burnedWhat others learned in sunday schoolI learned by gettin' black n' blue
