LYRICS:  
Off It, Can't keep mixing liquor with your nonsense  
You been weighing heavy on my conscience  
You been weighing heavy on me,  
Won't you come and lay up on me  
I don't do too well with all that talking  
Your new girl gone really make me pop shit  
 
I been doing too well, trying to maintain  
You gone make turn back to my old ways  
You're the only one that get that side baby  
Get me right baby, Ooh what I'm saying is  
 
Why is it always the hard way, your way  
I don't ask much just my love reciprocated  
I just need us sometimes, something to ease my mind  
Why is it always the hard way, your way  
 
How I be wrong when you're right here  
There just can’t be someone else beside me, lately  
We been going round like a timepiece  
You can never call out my name, when you're inside me  
 
I been doing too well, trying to maintain  
You gone make turn back to my old ways  
You're the only one that get that side baby  
Get me right baby, Ooh what I'm saying is  
 
Why is it always the hard way, your way  
I don't ask much just my love reciprocated  
I just us sometimes, something to ease my mind  
Why is it always the hard way, your way  
 
(break)  
 
Why is it always the hard way, your way  
I don't ask much just my love reciprocated  
I just us sometimes, something to ease my mind  
Why is it always the hard way, your way
