It's Not Easy
Struggles of a Generation: Desmond Dekker's Reflections
Lyrics
Oh, Lord, it is not easy
Expressing difficulty or hardship, possibly in life's challenges.
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Conveying a sense of overwhelming burden or emotional strain.
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
Observing the struggles faced by the younger generation.
Baby, mothers them want
Describing the desires of mothers.
The landlords them want
Highlighting the expectations of landlords.
Mother and father of the get girl
Referring to the challenges faced by parents of a girl.
The little I get make me fat
Expressing that even a small income contributes to weight gain.
It is not easy
Reiterating the difficulty in the situation.
Really not easy
Emphasizing the real and substantial challenges.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Repetition of the acknowledgment of difficulty.
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Reiterating the inability to endure the situation.
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
Observing the challenges faced by the younger generation.
I work and I toil
Stating the effort and hard work put into life.
Yet I suffer all the while
Despite hard work, experiencing ongoing suffering.
Trying to live a life on my own
Expressing the desire for an independent life.
I don't want to end up like Al Capone
Rejecting a fate similar to Al Capone, possibly avoiding a criminal life.
It is not easy
Reiterating the statement that it is not easy.
Really not easy
Affirming the genuine difficulty in the situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Repetition emphasizing the enduring challenges.
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Reiterating the inability to tolerate the situation.
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
Observing the challenges faced by the younger generation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetitive expressions, possibly emphasizing the persistent difficulty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
