Buju Banton - Not An Easy Road


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference

It's not an easy road
A-many see the glamour and the glitter
So them think a bed of rose
Me say, who feels it knows
Lord help me sustain these blows

I cry, it's not an easy road
A-many see the glamour and the glitter
So them think a bed of rose
Me say, who feels it knows
Lord help me sustain

From the minute of birth you enter this earth
Obstacles inna your way to overcome first
Throughout every day they seem to get worse
Oh my God cast away this curse
Everybody a try fi make every end meet
Through every way they endeavor, Lord God you see it
No matter what the world may say on the street
Must haffi survive, won't accept defeat
Now I'm weary, tired and dreary
Got no time to waste, you better know now

It's not an easy road
A-many see the glamour and the glitter
So them think a bed of rose
Me say, who feels it knows
Lord help me sustain these blows

I cry, it's not an easy road
A-many see the glamour and the glitter
So them think a bed of rose
Me say, who feels it knows
Lord help me sustain these blows

By you rise to see the sun who you love to pull you down
Trying to discredit the works you have done
Some can't satisfy with the post of ally
 
From the Scribes and Pharisees you've got to stay wide Matthew 16:6 - Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Matthew 23:13 - But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Hold up your head glancing at both side
Waiting anticipating praying for you to slide
Righteousness prevails if Jah by my side
 
Deliver Jonah from the whale, never leave him to die Jonah 2:10 - And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Help us all Abbaba Joni
Hold up my head and cry
I tell you now

It's not an easy road
Oh no, it's not an easy road, haffi tell you
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 my burden alongside the road
Oh, I've got to hold it
I've got to humble myself like a child
Upon me face I've the got to put on a smile
Make up my mind just to walk more mile
Lord, I've got to, I've got to, because I know that

It's not an easy road
A-many see the glamour and the glitter
So them think a bed of rose
Me say, who feels it knows
Lord help me sustain these blows

Once more, it's not an easy road
A-many see the glamour and the glitter
So them think a bed of rose
Me say, who feels it knows
Lord help me sustain

From the minute of birth you enter this earth
Obstacles in a your way to overcome first
Throughout every day they seem to get worse
Oh my God cast away this curse
Everybody a try fi make every end meet
Through every way they endeavor, Lord God you see it
No matter what the world may say on the street
