Other Way Around

Sometimes the easiest the hardest Sometimes the shortcut is longest Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Anything consistent is a product of persistence You could change a lot but you cannot change the physics Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Ay, tryna find the treasure but desire so deceptive Seekin' out successes though there’s so many metrics You could get it all but what matters what you left with What’s the point of pleasure if the pain has all the lessons But then what good is the lesson if you cannot get the message In the story in the numbers it’s the countin' that’s the blessin' Searchin' for an order that can sort out all my messes Explorin' chaos for it has been sort of an obsession Where do you end up if you keep goin through darkness And can’t tell between here and where you started I'll pick up my pieces if I'm ever broken-hearted You could keep goin tryna see how far the farthest Sometimes the easiest the hardest Sometimes the shortcut is longest Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Anything consistent is a product of persistence You could change a lot but you cannot change the physics Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Change the math that lets you win the game All I got are my choices and short amount of days Even if I’m not sure if I picked the right play I will keep goin so I know I’ll be okay, be okay Heart on fire and my veins fulla flame Civilized man but that ain't to say I’m tame Mind off the grid I don’t worry bout a lane All of the beauty comes from outside the frame What does it mean to be an artist And take a blank canvas and make it what your heart says I'll make a mosaic if I'm ever broken-hearted It's only the practice that let's you go the farthest Sometimes the easiest the hardest Sometimes the shortcut is longest Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Anything consistent is a product of persistence You could change a lot but you cannot change the physics Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around Gotta go through it ain’t no other way around
