It Ain't Easy Lyrics - Brother Ali

I did it again, huh? Yeah I know 

I'm writing you a song though 

It goes something like this... 

You said one love, you can't unlove 

I don't know what it is you're trying to run from 

Like you just, you tryna unfriend me in real life? 

I want it all real, nothing fake please 

I don't want to wonder what your handshake means 

I don't need to say everything I think I must 

My ego's trying to ruin everything I touch 

What I mean though or what my point is 

That you're much more important than my point is 

If I win an argument and lose your heart Lord 

Hit the bullseye on the wrong dart board 

Want to thank everyone for being patient with me 

It's a journey that I'm on, I pray you take it with me 

And to quote myself that's what this is about 

"We live learn and figure it out" 

Oh my God now...

It ain't easy when it's real 

Just don't leave because I still need your patience 

And hear me when I say this 

It ain't easy when it's real 

In my heart you know I feel 

All your greatness and baby we can make it 

I want the real love, not the false kind 

Not the one that need perfectness at all times 

When it seems most difficult to keep me close 

Is probably the time that I need you most 

I let you down though, I didn't mean to 

Even the people who try, we get weak too 

And when you said we were family, I believed you 

Because I needed so bad for it to be true 

Now is my heart that way? Would I try to betray? 

Is there any such thing as an honest mistake? 

If what you need and what I have don't match 

That's when we need the love thing to fill those gaps up

It ain't easy when it's real 

Just don't leave because I still need your patience 

And hear me when I say this 

It ain't easy when it's real 

In my heart you know I feel 

All your greatness and baby we can make it 

(You tryna save the world, right?) 

Yo I'm a hot mess and if I'm honest 

It's not just one event but a process 

If I'm tryna get out here and protest 

Let me first save the world from my foolishness 

Let me guard my heart from it's harshness 

Try to rid my truth of it's falseness 

If your beauty is closer than an arms length 

You'd be hard pressed to tell me that it's far fetched 

I know I hurt you though, you took it personal 

But what's love if the essence isn't merciful? 

And I see no need for us to live with regrets 

I'd rather just forgive and forget 

Oh my God now 

It ain't easy when it's real 

Just don't leave because I still need your patience 

And hear me when I say this 

It ain't easy when it's real 

In my heart you know I feel 

All your greatness and baby we can make it 

I was thinking maybe not debate politics in the pool 

Nah, just because it's your daughter's birthday party I just. You know 

No, I feel you 

Yeah, word up, email me about that 

You said one love, can't unlove 

I don't know what you think you're tryna run from 

You said one love, can't un-love, tryna run from 

Said one love love love 

Said one love love love 

Said one love love love
