Lyrics: Buju Banton. Not an Easy Road.

It's not an easy road
Many see the glamor and the glitter
And think it's a bed of rose
Who feels it, knows
Lord, help me sustain these blows

It's not an easy road
Many see the glamor and the glitter
And think it's a bed of rose
Who feels it, knows
Lord, help me sustain these blows

From the minute of birth, you enter this earth
Obstacles in your way to overcome first
Throughout everyday, they seem to get worse
Oh, my God, cast away this curse

Everybody is trying to make ends meet
Through every way the endeavor
Lord, God, You see it
No matter what the world may say on the street
Must have to survive, won't accept defeat
Now I'm weary, tired and dreary
Got no time to waste, you know me

It's not an easy road
Many see the glamor and the glitter
And think it's a bed of rose
Who feels it, knows
Lord, help me sustain these blows

By 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 Your head glancing on both side
Waiting, anticipating, praying for You to slide
Righteousness prevails with Jah by my side

Deliver Jonah from the whale
Never leave him to die
Help us all Abbaba Joni
Hold up my head and cry

It's not an easy road
Many see the glamor and the glitter
And think it's a bed of rose
Who feels it, knows
Lord, help me sustain these blows

I've been traveling all morning
With such a heavy load
Now it's noon and I cannot afford
To put down this burden alongside the road

I've got to hold it
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

Because I know that it's not an easy road
Many see the glamor and the glitter
And think it's a bed of rose
Who feels it, knows
Lord, help me sustain these blows
