"Make 'em Rhyme" lyrics

Still that same life lesson learner
Midnight oil burner
Every jagged old scar I've earned
With these calloused hands
I'm still that roughneck without the hammer
That late night blues man jammer
And I wrote down every word to who I am

And I ain't never gonna bend just to fit in
'Cause that just ain't how I was raised
Rather tell you like it is and try to write a hit
Down on that page
And when they all say I can't
I don't complain
'Cause sometimes I get it right
When I put these wrongs in these songs
And make 'em rhyme

Still that comin' home promise maker
Still fightin' that driftin' awayer
And testing my mama's prayers
One by sleepless one
I still hear those demons laughing
And I just laugh right back at 'em
'Cause it's the good lord's will
That keeps me writin' on

And I ain't never gonna bend just to fit in
'Cause that just ain't how I was raised
Rather tell you like it is and try to write a hit
Down on that page
And when they all say I can't
I don't complain
'Cause sometimes I get it right
When I put these wrongs in these songs
And make 'em rhyme

When they all say I can't
I don't complain
'Cause sometimes I get it right
When I put these wrongs in these songs
And make 'em rhyme

When I put these wrongs in these songs
And I make 'em rhyme
