Hard Road
Navigating Life's Challenges: The Hard Road by Jeremiah Kahuakai Kaholoaa
Lyrics
Excuses is the cause of my stress
Excuses are the source of my stress
Never came to blame no one oh no
Not here to blame anyone
So much wasted time and opportunities
Reflecting on wasted time and missed opportunities
Still I never blamed no one
Despite challenges, not placing blame on others
Still I never blamed no one
Reiteration of not blaming others
Have you ever been to the Ogden Ghetto
Reference to the Ogden Ghetto, a tough environment
Gangsters on the highest level
Describing high-level gangster activity
Just 16 Years old
Highlighting the young age of individuals in this environment
Way down on the cross roads
Location at a crossroads, symbolizing critical life decisions
Caught in the Heavy Snow
Facing challenges, metaphorically represented by heavy snow
Just 16 years old
Reiteration of being 16 years old and facing difficulties
Have you ever been there yeah
Revisiting the experience of the Ogden Ghetto
Yes upon that Hard Road
Facing hardships on the difficult path of life
Hard Road Hard Road
Emphasizing the challenges with repetition of "Hard Road"
You better take care yeah
Advising to be cautious on this challenging journey
Yes upon that Hard Road
Reiteration of facing difficulties on the hard road
Hard Road Hard Road
Continued emphasis on the challenges with repetition
When a man treats his woman wrong
Consequences of mistreating a partner, leading to sadness
He come and writes a sad song yeah
Expressing emotions through writing a sad song
Cause now his woman's gone
The aftermath of losing a loved one
When your lady don't return your calls
When communication breaks down in a relationship
You come and sing that sad song
Turning to music to express the pain of loneliness
Cause now your all alone
Dealing with the reality of being alone
Have you ever been there yeah
Revisiting the experience of the hard road
Yes upon that Hard Road
Reiteration of facing hardships on the difficult path
Hard Road Hard Road
Emphasizing the challenges with repetition of "Hard Road"
You better take care yeah
Advising to be cautious on this challenging journey
Yes upon that Hard Road
Reiteration of facing difficulties on the hard road
Hard Road Hard Road
Continued emphasis on the challenges with repetition
Cause if you got no Job Your On the Hard Road
Highlighting the struggle of unemployment on the hard road
Living like a slob your on the Hard Road
Living in poor conditions, symbolized by "slob"
Smoking upon the bowla your on the Hard Road Hard Road
Engaging in substance abuse on the difficult path
Cause if you got no got no
Emphasizing the difficulty without possessions or resources
