No Easy Roads

Lyrics

[Intro] My life, my life I've been fighting it all my life My life, oh, my life Been fighting it all my life [Verse 1] I'm a father, I'm a fighter, I am tough It's not the working for the peanuts it's rough It's not the sending every dime home They denied every time loan It was all the other stuff The hold-down, the run-around The stack, the deck I'm not working you, before a different colored check [Pre-Chorus] Damn you my impeder in me I am a believеr Despite your spike bеlts, I will not be slowed [Chorus] I know there's no easy roads I know there's no easy roads [Post-Chorus] Easy roads, easy roads, there are no easy roads [Verse 2] I'm white, I'm middle-class, embarrassed I got bad luck when it comes to parents If you're white, you might meet them Think they're a-ok Or of another mother, brother, KKK I felt like a human barcode, programmed to hate mode Seventeen years old, solo I must go [Chorus] I know there's no easy roads (No easy roads) I know there's no easy roads (No easy roads) [Bridge] My life, my life I've been fighting it all my life My life, oh, my life Been fighting it all my life [Verse 3] I said I'm tired and I'm sick You're a liar full of shit It's the same old shtick And I just can't support this Slammed down the phone, never felt more alone Single mother, shipped adrift with a toddler on my hip Begging for a greyhound trim I don't need you to mention to me You see the tension in me I know it, I own it, I hold it This poker hand to fold it I'm starting to feel the gravity of three mouthfuls of cavities Could somebody help me please? [Outro] My life, my life I've been fighting it all my life My life, oh, my life Been fighting it all my life
