It Has to Be This Way - Jonathan Young, RichaadEB & Tre Watson

Standing here I realize That you were just like me Trying to make history But who's to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end It has to be this way I've carved my own path You've followed your wrath But maybe we're both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame It's tearing across This barren wasted land I feel new life could be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained sand Standing here I realize That you were just like me Trying to make history But who's to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end It has to be this way Violence breeds violence But in the end It has to be this way

Standing here I realize You are just like me Trying to make history But who's to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way I've carved my own path You followed your wrath But maybe we're both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame Yet staring across this barren wasted land I feel new life will be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained sand

The sound of your voice, the touch of your skin If we go there, it will start all over again So don't even call, there's no need for checking in If it's really over, let it just be over No, we won't be sharing coffee Or having lunch from time to time I won't ask about your family Please don't ask me about mine This is never what I wanted And it's killing me to say It just has to be this way We gave all we could, we fought the good fight But no matter how we loved, we just couldn't get it right It hurts to let go, but it's harder hangin' on I don't want it to be over, we know that it's over No, we won't be sharing coffe Or having lunch from time to time I won't ask about your family Please don't ask me about mine This is never what I wanted And it's killing me to say It just has to be this way And even if I change my mind Don't let me hurt me one more time Stay away from me, be as cold as you can be No, we won't be sharing coffe Or having lunch from time to time I won't ask about your family Please don't ask me about mine This is never what I wanted And it's killing me to say It just has to be this way Oh, it just has to be this way

Back when the world was new The Planet Earth was down on its luck And everywhere gigantic brutes Called titans ran amok Oh, it was a nasty place There was a mess wherever you stepped Where chaos reigned and earthquakes And volcanoes never slept And then along came Zeus He hurl his thunderbolt (he zapped) Lock those suckers in a vault (they're trapped) And on his own stopped chaos in its tracks And that's the gospel truth The guy was too type A to just relax And that's the world's first dish Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth Though, honey, it may seem impossible That's the gospel truth On Mount Olympus life was neat And smooth as sweet vermouth Though, honey, it may seem impossible That's the gospel truth Woah-oh (ooh, yeah) Woah-oh (can you hear me now?) Woah-oh (ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Woah-oh (yeah, let's go) Ooh, yeah Aw, yeah Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll The person of the week in every Greek opinion poll What a pro, Herc could stop a show Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO He was a no one, a zero, zero Now he's a honcho, he's a hero He was a kid with his act down pat From zero to hero in no time flat Zero to hero, just like that When he smiled The girls went wild with ooh's and aah's And they slapped his face on every vase On every vahse From appearance fees and royalties Our Herc had cash to burn Now nouveau riche and famous He could tell you what's a Grecian urn Say amen, there he goes again Sweet and undefeated and an awesome 10 for 10 Folks lined up just to watch him flex And this perfect package packed a pair of pretty pecs Hercie, he comes, he sees, he conquers Honey, the crowds were going bonkers He showed the moxie, brains, and spunk From zero to hero, a major hunk Zero to hero, and who'da thunk? Yeah Who put the glad in gladiator? (Hercules) Whose daring deeds are great theater? (Hercules) Is he bold? (Nobody braver) Is he sweet? (Our favorite flavor) Hercules! (Amen) Hercules! (Hercules!) Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Bless my soul, Herc was on a roll Undefeated Riding high, and the nicest guy Not conceited He was a nothin', a zero, zero Now he's a honcho, he's a hero He hit the heights at breackneck speed From zero to hero Herc is a hero Now he's a hero (oh, yeah!) Yes indeed!
