Lyrics Made the Hard Way - Jimmy Dawkins

Made the Hard Way

Fame and fortune
Alway evaded me
My fame and fortune
Always evaded me
I had to hack both day and night
I guess it had to be that way
But I don’t complain
People, I just bear the pain
I don’t complain
I just bear the pain
'Cause what I have was made the hard way
Things ain’t gonna get better
You know baby
It’s gonna be alright
We can’t have what we want
But it’s gonna be alright
We ain’t got to beg, rob or steal
Oh, we don’t have to fuss and fight
Have nothing
Don’t have much in this world
I ain’t got much
I ain’t go much in this world
Yeah, but I know that I’ve got
Just on your mind little girl
I’m gonna stop this mess
I cry: my fame and fortune
Seems like it ain’t come in
Fame and fortune
Always evaded me
I had to hack day by day
Oh, that’s just my way
But I don’t complain
I just take the pain
But I don’t complain
I just take it and bear the pain
