Living Ain't Easy

(álbum: Decisions - 2002)

It's not pretty no
It ain't pretty at all
(it ain't pretty no, it ain't pretty no)
I hear my mama say
Living ain't easy, no
Living ain't easy at all
(it ain't easy no, it ain't easy no)

All day and night she spends
Tending her seven children
Imagine the pressure that she bears
So many mouths to feed
Trying to give each one just what they need
Don't wanna listen when she says
(mama never want me to beg now)

It's not pretty no
It ain't pretty at all
(it ain't pretty no, it ain't pretty no)
I hear my mama say
Living ain't easy, no
Living ain't easy at all
(it ain't easy no, it ain't easy no)

She struggles and strives
Working from nine to five
Somehow she kept us all going
Always told us to stick together
Each one must help another
Hoping we'll listen when she says
(And I can feel it when she sings)

It's not pretty no
It ain't pretty at all
(it ain't pretty no, it ain't pretty no)
I hear my mama say
Living ain't easy, no
Living ain't easy at all
(It ain't easy no, it ain't easy no)

I tell my mama don't worry, I tell my mama don't cry
I tell my mama don't worry, I tell my mama just chill
I tell my mama don't worry, I tell my mama don't cry
I tell my mama don't worry, I tell my mama just chill

Sometimes I feel like I'm going no where
Sometimes I feel like I know nobody cares
But I'm going turn my life around
Pick my head up off the ground
And I am not gonna stop just because I'm feeling down
All you women talk about independence
Do you really know what it means to be strong?
Single for a week just to boost your confidence
But another week later he'll be back (ding dong)

It's not pretty no
It ain't pretty at all
(it ain't pretty no, it ain't pretty no)
I hear my mama say
Living ain't easy, no
Living ain't easy at all
(it ain't easy no, it ain't easy no)
