Life Ain't Easy

Some people them a looking but them can't find their way Them running and turning in the darkness everyday And them can't find anything to show them the way They can't find anything to guide them i say Some don't have the power to control their life Them have to give it up, them have to face bare strife And them can't find the way to face the next day Them can't find the will to make it along their way Me say life ain't easy It sharp as a knife Too much troublin' You have to fight to survive Born in the ghetto Only poverty you know No one there helping No one helping you to grow This happening to the poor ghetto youth Them can't find anybody to tell them the truth Them have to fend for themselves Just them against the world It's a battle for survival where respect is never learnt Cause mammy got no time and daddy hanging on the road Granny dead long time her life became a heavy load With all the stress and commotion in the neighbourhood No one looking out for one another Nothing being understood Me say life ain't easy It sharp as a knife Too much troublin' You have to fight to survive Born in the ghetto Only poverty you know No one there helping No one helping you to grow You see me dance to this dawn revelation A crowded rumba to the dance stimulation And i'm a act like some alpha creation As freedom fly makes a man's illustration See i'm related to all tradition See as the sun rise we carry vision And i'm related to all tradition And as the sun rise we carry vision Me say life ain't easy It sharp as a knife Too much troublin' You have to fight to survive Born in the ghetto Only poverty you know No one there helping No one helping you to grow
