Hard Ways All Day - Cut Me Some Slack Lyrics

Lord, have mercy on me
I've been fighting through the storm, can't you see
I've been grinding for a minute, never lost my faith
Came up from the bottom, now I'm changing my fate
World on my shoulders, but I carry the weight
Took a couple L's, but I'm moving with grace
Pressure's heavy, but I never fold
Staying true to the code, got a heart full of gold
They wanna see me fall, but I'm built from the mold
Every day's a battle, but I'm ready for the cold
Have mercy on my soul
I've been walking down a dark, dark road
Took some hits, but I never let go
Now I'm rising up and taking control
Have mercy, yeah, I'm fighting these wars
I've been through the pain, I'm scarred at the core
But I'll never break, I'm destined for more
Lord, have mercy, I'm stronger than before
I done faced every demon, they tried to take me down
Still standing tall, now I wear the crown
They don't know the pain, they don't hear the sound
Of my heart beating strong when nobody's around
I prayed for the light, but I walked through the dark
Had to dig deep when life got hard
Now I'm shining, and the glow won't fade
I'm built for this, I'm self-made
They don't understand what I've been through
I was on my knees, but I broke through
Now I stand tall with my head held high
I was born to win, can't deny
Have mercy on my soul
I've been walking down a dark, dark road
Took some hits, but I never let go
Now I'm rising up and taking control
Have mercy, yeah, I'm fighting these wars
I've been through the pain, I'm scarred at the core
But I'll never break, I'm destined for more
Lord, have mercy, I'm stronger than before
Lord, have mercy
Yeah, yeah
Stronger than before
I'm stronger than before
