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.’
