Sometimes life so hard but don't give up, you can win   Sometimes life impossible, can't seem to get nothing done   Every move you make, something always in your way now   You try a little harder, they'll be a brand new day      I see my brothers crying and no one helps them, Lord   And just as it was written, father now against son   He's turned out on the street, now his dreadlocks start growing      You've got to stand up now and face reality   You've got to stand up now and face reality   You've got to stand up now and face reality      Sometimes life so hard but don't give up, you can win   Sometimes life impossible, can't seem to get nothing done   Every move you make, something blocking your way   Now try a little harder, they'll be a brand new day      I see my sisters crying, no one helps her, Lord   It's just as it was written many years ago   She turned out on the street, now her belly is showing and      You've got to stand up now and face reality   You've got to stand up now and face reality   You've got to stand up now and face reality      Sometimes life so hard but don't give up, you can win   Sometimes life incredible, can't seem to get nothing done   And every move you make, something always in your way   You try a little harder, they'll be a brand new day      I'm talking to you, it's you and you   I'm talking to you and you right now   There ain't no parciality in this reality   So I'm talking to you, and you, and you right now
