Shontelle - Life Is Not An Easy Road lyrics

rate me

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
