Everything was laid out for you
Didn't stand a fighting chance
You wouldn't last a day in my shoes
So used to helping hands
(Takes all you know) To stand alone and have the faith to survive
When the color fades to black and white
No-one could have picked two other worlds so opposite
(Take yours, I'll take mine) I know what hard work is
So far from being strict you got so good at bad habits
(The hard fact - you get back) Whatever you put in
Everyday I hold my head up high
Look around and see what's mine
I get so sick of working over-time
It's hard to just get by
How can you say you know exactly what it takes
(What it takes) Some tie you direct to me
No-one could have picked two other worlds so opposite
(Take yours, I'll take mine) I know what hard work is
So far from being strict you got so good at bad habits
(The hard fact - you get back) Whatever you put in
You get back whatever you put in
Who could have picked two other worlds so opposite?
You get back whatever you put in
Who could have picked two other worlds so opposite?
I've seen people change
How can you say you know exactly what it takes
I've seen people change
