Lyrics Life Ain't Easy - The Hempolics

Some people them a looking but them can't find their way
Them running and turning in the darkness everyday
And them can't find anything to show them the way
They can't find anything to guide them i say
Some don't have the power to control their life
Them have to give it up, them have to face bare strife
And them can't find the way to face the next day
Them can't find the will to make it along their way

Me say life ain't easy
It sharp as a knife
Too much troublin'
You have to fight to survive
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
Them can't find anybody to tell them the truth
Them have to fend for themselves
Just them against the world
It's a battle for survival where respect is never learnt
Cause mammy got no time and daddy hanging on the road
Granny dead long time her life became a heavy load
With all the stress and commotion in the neighbourhood
No one looking out for one another
Nothing being understood

Me say life ain't easy
It sharp as a knife
Too much troublin'
You have to fight to survive
Born in the ghetto
Only poverty you know
No one there helping
No one helping you to grow

You see me dance to this dawn revelation
A crowded rumba to the dance stimulation
And i'm a act like some alpha creation
As freedom fly makes a man's illustration
See i'm related to all tradition
See as the sun rise we carry vision
And i'm related to all tradition
And as the sun rise we carry vision

Me say life ain't easy
It sharp as a knife
Too much troublin'
You have to fight to survive
Born in the ghetto
Only poverty you know
No one there helping
No one helping you to grow
