Life Is Not An Easy Road

Shontelle


Life is not an easy road
A true you jus' a struggle 
Wid your heavy load
I know
It seems 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

Hopeless youths dem 
Out inna de street
And dem 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 cyaan retreat
And dem cyaan 
Find no food to eat
And where you 
Lay your head dem 
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

Life is not an easy road
A true you jus' a struggle 
Wid your heavy load
I know
It seems 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

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 neighbour 
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

Life is not an easy road
A true you jus' a struggle 
Wid your heavy load
I know
It seems 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

You see dem little youth a cry 
Dem have cold cold feet
Dem prostitute dem life dem 
Ah so dem world get defeat
Dem politicians try fi 
Tek your life you see
But just trust you will survive 
And keep your dignity
Never mind how dem a treat you 
Never mind wat dem 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 dem take it away
Sing

Life is not an easy road
A true you jus' a struggle 
Wid your heavy load
I know
It seems 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
