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
