A lot of times in life, we think that there are shortcuts to getting wherever we want. This is not true. It takes everything you have mentally, physically, and spiritually. The title does come from Rocky IV, one of the greatest sports movies ever made. Check out this scene from the movie with the song “No Easy Way Out” playing in the background:

Here are the lyrics for the song “No Easy Way Out” by Survivor, the song you hear in the video:

We’re not indestructible,

Baby better get that straight.

I think it’s unbelieveable,

How you give into the hands of fate.

Some things are worth fighting for,

some feelings never die.

I’m not asking for another chance,

I just wanna know why.

(chorus)

There’s no easy way out,

There’s no shortcut home.

There’s no easy way out,

Giving in can’t be wrong.

I don’t wanna pasify you,

I don’t wanna drag you down.

But I’m Feeling like a prisoner,

Like A Strange in a no-name town.

I See all the angry faces,

Afraid that could be you and me.

Talking about what might have been,

Thinking about what it used to be.

(chorus)

There’s no easy way out,

There’s no shortcut home.

There’s no easy way out,

Giving in can’t be wrong.

Baby Baby we can shed this skin,

We can know how we feel inside.

Instead of going down an endless road,

Not knowing if we’re dead or alive.

Some things are worth fighting for,

some feelings never die.

I’m not asking for another chance,

I just wanna know why.

(chorus)

There’s no easy way out,

There’s no shortcut home.

There’s no easy way out,

givin in, givin in, can’t be wrong.

(repeat and fade)

What a great song this is. We all have to remember that there is no easy way out for anything that you want to achieve. All bad things come to a bad end, and all good things come to a good end. That’s my quote.
