Haitian Fresh - Easier (Ft. Shanell & Wyclef J)

[Chorus]

Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier

When you need to pay up on the rent

And you ain't got nothing in the fridge

Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try

To fly away, to fly away,

It's a cold, cold morning and I knot today you feel lonely

Takes all the strength that you have

To get out the bed and try

Don't give up today, help is on the way, whoa

Made mistakes, but I've learned my lesson

Now I know how to count my blessings

Bad times come but soon they pass

Now I know that I don't feel so bad

Don't feel so bad

I did my best, ain't worry bout the rest, whoa

[Chorus]

Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier

When you need to pay up on the rent

And you ain't got nothing in the fridge

Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try

To fly away, to fly away,

Raised in the ghetto, all I've seen was poverty

Crack sales, dope fiends, a lot of tragedy

No money, no cars, no tv

So I stared thugging, hanging with the og's

Get money on the block, had to keep it move

Age 13 my ready did my first shoot

Mama had to pay the bills, daddy ran the streets

Mama shed so many tears, I couldn't barely see

So I had to be a man at an early age

Moving work, speeding in the fast lane

Cops wanna knock me, send me upstate

A prisoner to this life, gotta make a change

Having suicidal thoughts with me if I'm dreaming

Wanna leave the game alone, but they keep on fiending

So I look up at the sky for guidance

And remember what mama used to say to me

[Chorus]

Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier

When you need to pay up on the rent

And you ain't got nothing in the fridge

Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try
To fly away, to fly away,

No more excuses, we got a black president

That doing that, doing us, the rest irrelevant

We ain't example for our use so they be better then

The way we were, the way we are, took in a struggle then

They say true blessing come to those who going through the worse

Smiling on the outside, so I don't feel the curse

Who's to blame, we not perfect, we all make mistakes

Keep the dream alive, remember we have all the greats

Martin Luther King, Roser Park, Harry Tubman,

Malcolm X, Elly Whit, Al Sharpton

Obama hit a home run like Jackie Robinson

Let's top, make peace and put down the guns

We can relax so together we become on

Stay strong, hold on, show em how it's done

… number one, just keep your faith in god

Better days will come, easy

[Chorus]

Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier

When you need to pay up on the rent

And you ain't got nothing in the fridge

Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try

To fly away, to fly away,

Dear god, one thing I do know is that you don't make mistakes

I know you gave us a black president lord, we wanna thank you for that

That don't mean you gotta stop working hard, stop having faith

We gotta do better, it's gonna be easier, I promise you

Everything is gonna get a lot easier for you,

Just keep your faith in god, all you gotta do is try

To fly away with it baby, you got your baby

Bout know you in school, time seem kinda hard right now

No money, the devil's on you

Everybody try to get you do the wrong thing

But you know what? It's gonna be easier

It's gonna get better, it's got to

God bless America, god bless my world

[Chorus]

Uuhh, things are gonna get easier, easier

When you need to pay up on the rent

And you ain't got nothing in the fridge

Spread your wings and fly, all you gotta do is try

To fly away, to fly away.
