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
