Life Is Not An Easy Road

1. Hopeless youths them out inna the street
And them no have no job, so just to win they have to cheat
Tell me why so many see it and don't speak
And why they'll never find a peaceful home they can retreat.

And them can find no food to eat
And where you lay your head them have a bed of concrete
And your momma she ah cry when she ah see it
It's not a revolution just a cycle that repeats 'cause.

[Chorus:]
Life is not an easy road
A true you just a struggle with your heavy load
I know it seems you lose the battle more and more.

Life is not an easy road
You have to play your part and take control
Don't you ever ease up, never give up, don't let go.

2. See the sunshine will come one day
And prejudice and inequality will fade away
Man will not judge man but he will say
It's time to love my neighbor as my brother and not hate.

And the world will unite as one
And governments eliminate all chemicals and bombs
We will no longer have to run
The uprising has only just begun, so hear me song.

[Chorus]

I said don't let go, I said don't let go
If you know, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Life is not an easy road, say you don't let go
Say you don't let go, no, no, no, no, no.

3. You see them likkle youth a cry them have cold, cold feet
Them a prostitute them life and so them world get defeat
Them politicians try fi take your life you see
But just trust you will survive and keep your dignity.

Never mind how them a treat you, never mind what them a say
Keep you eyes pon tomorrow but you live for today
You stop, you drop, you roll to save your soul
You never let them take it away, sing.

[Chorus x2]
