The Hard Road - Hilltop Hoods
Just don't know
Just don't know
I'm going down
Going down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been we're going down
Going down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been
Growing up I needed a guide like a blind veteran's dog
'Cause I was going nowhere like a child's letters to god
Though life's road was hard I was never so lost
That I looked for an answer in a medicine box
I never did pop pills or cop deals just rocked hills
Kids with skills still got harassed by the cops till
They'd have me in the back of a paddy down to lock up
Smack me pat me down for a baggy
Mums would rock up
And bail me out a failure out once again
Next weekend bailed me out drunk again
And I never will forgive myself
Myself
For putting you through all that hell
I went from high school dropout to factory laborer
Slave to the clock until four
Went from sleeping on the floor
To being back on tour
Now no stopping me
I'll finish with a bang like Kurt Cobain's biography
Going down the hard road
Down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been
And don't know where to go it's like
Going down the hard road down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been
Been been
I spent my youth like life was cheap
The only change that I wanted was enough to buy a drink
Was on a path nowhere the harder the road
The more broken baggage we carry the larger the load
This school drop-out got knocked out
Chased by the cops out
Got clout dumped by my girlfriend and locked out
Been broke and beaten even chocked at being
A d**e MC but never lost hope in dreaming
We used to thrash boosted cars till the engine would fail
If I never had bailed I'd be dead or in jail
And man I got no one else to blame
I thank my family and music for keeping me sane
But that's the breaks right
Started working late nights
Never seeing daylight getting paid like a slave might
And I've done too many years to miss this for my missus
To have to tell my son he nearly never existed
Just don't know
Going down the hard road
Down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been
And don't know where to go it's like
Going down the hard road down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been
DJ Debris c'mon and break it down like
The broke a*s
Just don't know
Just do the broke a*s a*s a*s
And I speak what I feel in the booth in the spirit of truth
'Cause all these kids that I meet man they mirror my youth
And I could have gone the wrong way
The easy option
But I chose to go the long way
The streets are watching
So keep a look out look up
B-ballers keep your hook up
Tear a page from my book out and pull out
Your finger put your foot out and keep a lookout
For what we put out
The brand new flavor for your cookout
Going down the hard road
Down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been
And don't know where to go it's like
Going down the hard road down the hard road
Just don't know
Don't know where I've been
But I like be a walking
I'm walking round in circles
Came here to find a friend
For my love for my love
My love for my love my love
Tell the hard roll
My love my love
For my love my love
Tell the hard road
My love my love
For my love my love
My love my love
My love my love
