Don’t Give Up Lyrics by JahPlaka

Vitamin C EP

2019

Intro:
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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 apologize
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Jah Jah bless the streets
Protect your people from bloodshed
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
[Chorus]
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
