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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
