NOT A EASY ROAD - Sizzla Kalonji, Anthony B, Dennis Brown

I never thought I would’ve made it

Then afterwards, they mistake it, chro

I’ll be here for sure, don’t worry

And mi say my, my, my m-my

It’s not an easy road

And many see the glamour and the glitter so them think a bed of rose, mi say

Who feels it knows, oooh

Lord help me sustain these blows

I cry!

It’s not an easy road

And many see the glamour and the glitter so them think a bed of rose, mi say

Who feels it knows, oooh

Lord help me sustain

From the minute of birth, you enter this earth

Obstacles deh inna your way to overcome first

Throughout everyday they seem to get worse

Oh my God, cast away this curse!

Everybody ah try fi make every end meet

Through every way they endeavor

Lord God you see it

No matter what the world may say out ah street

Must affi survive, won’t accept defeat

Now I’m weary, tired and dreary

Got no time to waste

You better know that

It’s not an easy road

And many see the glamour and the glitter so them think a bed of rose, mi say

Who feels it knows, oooh

Lord help me sustain these blows

I cry!

It’s not an easy road

And many see the glamour and the glitter so them think a bed of rose, mi say

Who feels it knows, oooh

Lord help me sustain these blows

While you rise to see the sun

Who you love a pull you down

Trying to discredit the works you have done

Some can’t satisfy with the past of ally

From the Scribes and Pharisees

You’ve got to stay wide

Hold up me head glancing on both side

A wait, anticipate, pray fi you to slide

Righteousness prevail with Jah by my side

Deliver Jonah from the whale

No leave him to die

Help us all Abbabajoni

Hold up my head and cry

I tell you now

It’s not an easy road, Oh no

It’s not an easy road

I’ve been travelling morning

With such a heavy load

Now it’s noon and I cannot afford

To put down that burden 'longside the road

Yea, I’ve got to hold it

I got to humble myself like a child

Upon my face I’ve the got to put on a smile

Make up my mind just to walk more miles

Oh God I’ve got to, I’ve got to, because I know that

It’s not an easy road

And many see the glamour and the glitter so them think a bed of rose, mi say

Who feels it knows, oooh

Lord help me sustain these blows

Hot foot

It’s not an easy road

And many see the glamour and the glitter so them think a bed of rose, mi say

Who feels it knows, oooh

Lord help me sustain these blows

From the minute of birth, you enter this earth

Obstacles deh inna your way to overcome first

Throughout everyday they seem to get worse

Oh my God, cast away this curse!

Everybody ah try fi make every end meet

Through every way they endeavor

Lord God you see it
