Life Ain't Easy

Some people dem a looking but dem can't find a way

Dem running and turning in the darkness everyday

Dem can't find anything to show dem the way

Dem can't find anything to guide dem I say

From dawn to the power to control the life

Dem have to give it up dem have to face their strife

Dem can't find no way to face the next day

Dem can't find no will to make it along the way

And me say

Life ain't easy, it's sharp as a knife

Too much struggling, yes you have to fight for your life

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

Dem can't find anybody to tell dem the truth

Dem have to fend for themselves

Just them against the world

It's a battle for survival where respect is never done

And mommy got no time and daddy hanging on the road

Grinding day and night time and life became a heavy load

With all the stress and commotion

In the neighbourhood now we looking out for one another

Nothing being understood

Cause we say

Life ain't easy, it's sharp as a knife

Too much struggling, yes you have to fight for your life

Born in the ghetto, only poverty you know

No one there helping, no one helping you to grow

You see me dance to this dumb revelation

The crowd a rumble to the dumb simulation

And I'ma act like some artful creation

As freedom flight makes a man's illustration

See I'm relating to all tradition

See as the sun rise it carry vision

And I'm relating to all tradition

And as the sun rise it carry vision

Me say

Life ain't easy, it's sharp as a knife

Too much struggling, yes you have to fight for your life
