Don't Give Up Lyrics

You know, the youth want message that will empower them

Message that will lift them out of the slums

So i tell the youth not to give up

And alway keep fighting cos success is near

Hold on tight, don't give up now

This is the time to pray

Life is full of ups and downs

So don't give up no way

Hold on tight, don't give up now

This is the time to pray

Life is full of ups and downs

So don't give up no way

See the youth work from sun up to sun down

No smile on face, everybody wear frown

See the mother and pikni (child) just galavant around

No food no shelter, and they sleep on the ground

Mr Minister this is not the time to apologise

You lie to the people to exercise franchise

Now you have the position and you stop think twice

So the poor man don't even have a choice

Hold on tight, don't give up now

This is the time to pray

Life is full of ups and downs

So don't give up no way

Hold on tight, don't give up now

This is the time to pray

Life is full of ups and downs

So don't give up no way

Jah Jah bless the streets

Protect your people from blood shed

Provide for the less privilege

And never ever make their pockets run empty

So, my youth just work hard and be smart too

Don't let the babylon system outsmart you

Big money big house when Jah Jah is with you

All the hustling and struggling will pay soon

Hold on tight, don't give up now

This is the time to pray

Life is full of ups and downs

So don't give up no way

Hold on tight, don't give up now

This is the time to pray

Life is full of ups and downs

So don't give up no way
