Can’t Avoid The Trouble

Why’s nothing easy

Cos if it’s easy

It has nothing to teach me

And I want life to teach me 

 

People ain’t easy

And if you’re easy

Are you even trying to reach me

I want you to reach me

 

You used to say ‘I wants don’t get’

You used to tell me that ‘life isn’t fair’

But I still wasn’t prepared

 

I don’t often pray

I don’t know what to say

There’s just no way

To avoid the trouble

My heart still cries out everyday

In some wordless way

'Help me, help me help me

embrace the struggle.’

 

I’m feeling lazy

And if I’m lazy

Well You can’t really blame me

I’m tired of learning everyday

 

My plans are hazy

And if  they’re hazy

It’s cos nothing is certain

It’s certain there’ll be trouble on the way

 

You used to say ‘I wants don’t get’

You used to tell me that ‘life isn’t fair’

But I still wasn’t prepared

 

I don’t often pray

I don’t know what to say

There’s just no way

To avoid the trouble

My heart still cries out everyday

In some wordless way

'Help me, help me help me

embrace the struggle.’

 

The ways it goes sometimes

I wonder if I done some heinous crime

I’m paying all the debts

the karma of some awful previous life

It’s like I’m throwing dice it’s snake eyes

All the time

But that s not why

It’s just this life

 

I don’t often pray

I don’t know what to say

There’s just no way

To avoid the trouble

My heart still cries out everyday

In some wordless way

'Help me, help me help me

embrace the struggle.’
