Think of love is a good thing But what again if it's not? Is the ladder for climbing Or just whatever's on top? Do I bury the hatred Or with a shovel escape Through the valley of shadow Through the heart with a stake God knows and I don't What's good for me Ready or not Learn the hard way The lesson never stops Try to resist This Somethin's up you don't wanna miss Ready or not Learn the hard way The lesson never stops Try to resist This Somethin's up you don't wanna miss Do I walk on the thin line Just to prove that I'm right? Am I tempted a third time Just to see if I might (Just to prove that I'm right) If I pray am I askin' That I should live without pain Is the world for the taking What will it be that I gain? God knows and I don't What's good for me Ready or not Learn the hard way The lesson never stops Try to resist This Somethin's up you don't wanna miss Ready or not Learn the hard way The lesson never stops Try to resist This Somethin's up you don't wanna miss Lesson number one: I don't know everything [scat singing] Lesson number two: Only God is not lying to you [scat singing] Alright it goes, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah We all stand in the dark and look through the blinding glass (dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah) Yeah, the directions in hand, but there's only one flashlight (dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah) And at some point you know what Everyone else is just a little ill informed All I'm sayin'! That's all I'm tryin' to say! That's all I'm sayin'! [scat singing] God know and I don't what's good for me (repeat 7x) God knows what's good, what's good for me (repeat 7x)
