  • [Chorus]
    Life is not an easy road
    A true you just a struggle with 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 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 cyaan retreat
    And them cyaan 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

    [Chorus]

    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

    [Chorus]

    You see them little youth a cry them have cold cold feet
    Dem prostitute them life them ah so them world get defeat
    Dem 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

    [Chorus] Writer/s: DWAYNE CHIN-QUEE, M. CHIN, SHONTELLE LAYNE
