It Ain't Easy - Brother Ali[00:00:00]
I did it again huh yeah I know[00:00:04]
I'm writing you a song though[00:00:09]
It goes something like this[00:00:11]
You said one love you can't unlove[00:00:12]
I don't know what it is you're trying to run from[00:00:14]
Like you just you tryna unfriend me in real life[00:00:18]
I want it all real nothing fake please[00:00:22]
I don't want to wonder what your handshake means[00:00:25]
I don't need to say everything I think I must[00:00:27]
My ego's trying to ruin everything I touch[00:00:30]
What I mean though or what my point is[00:00:33]
That you're much more important than my point is[00:00:35]
If I win an argument and lose your heart lord[00:00:38]
Hit the bullseye on the wrong dart board[00:00:40]
Want to thank everyone for being patient with me[00:00:43]
It's a journey that I'm on I pray you take it with me[00:00:46]
And to quote myself that's what this is about[00:00:48]
We live learn and figure it out[00:00:51]
Oh my god now[00:00:53]
It ain't easy when it's real[00:00:54]
Just don't leave because I still need your patience[00:00:56]
And hear me when I say this[00:01:00]
It ain't easy when it's real[00:01:03]
In my heart you know I feel[00:01:06]
All your greatness and baby we can make it[00:01:09]
I want the real love not the false kind[00:01:14]
Not the one that need perfectness at all times[00:01:17]
When it seems most difficult to keep me close[00:01:19]
Is probably the time that I need you most[00:01:22]
I let you down though I didn't mean to[00:01:25]
Even the people who try we get weak too[00:01:27]
And when you said we were family I believed you[00:01:30]
Because I needed so bad for it to be true[00:01:32]
Now is my heart that way would I try to betray[00:01:35]
Is there any such thing as an honest mistake[00:01:38]
If what you need and what I have don't match[00:01:41]
That's when we need the love thing to fill those gaps up[00:01:43]
It ain't easy when it's real[00:01:46]
Just don't leave because I still need your patience[00:01:48]
And hear me when I say this[00:01:52]
It ain't easy when it's real[00:01:56]
In my heart you know I feel[00:01:58]
All your greatness and baby we can make it[00:02:01]
You tryna save the world right[00:02:05]
Yo I'm a hot mess and if I'm honest[00:02:06]
It's not just one event but a process[00:02:09]
If I'm tryna get out here and protest[00:02:12]
Let me first save the world from my foolishness[00:02:14]
Let me guard my heart from it's harshness[00:02:17]
Try to rid my truth of it's falseness[00:02:20]
If your beauty is closer than an arms length[00:02:22]
You'd be hard pressed to tell me that it's far fetched[00:02:25]
I know I hurt you though you took it personal[00:02:27]
But what's love if the essence isn't merciful[00:02:30]
And I see no need for us to live with regrets[00:02:33]
I'd rather just forgive and forget[00:02:35]
Oh my god now[00:02:37]
It ain't easy when it's real[00:02:38]
Just don't leave because I still need your patience[00:02:40]
And hear me when I say this[00:02:45]
It ain't easy when it's real[00:02:48]
In my heart you know I feel[00:02:51]
All your greatness and baby we can make it[00:02:53]
I was thinking maybe not debate politics in the pool[00:03:01]
Nah just because it's your daughter's birthday party I just you know[00:03:08]
No I feel you[00:03:12]
Yeah word up email me about that[00:03:18]
You said one love can't unlove[00:03:20]
I don't know what you think you're tryna run from[00:03:22]
You said one love can't unlove tryna run from[00:03:25]
Said one love love love[00:03:30]
Said one love love love[00:03:33]
Said one love love love[00:03:35]
