Don’t Give Up Lyrics by Linval Thompson

Six Babylon

1979

[Intro]
Don't give up!
Stand up firm on your feet, my brother
[Chorus]
A time so hard an’ a time so ruff
A time so tuff an' a time so bad
Don't give up, stand up firm on your feet
Don’t give up, stand up strong on your feet
[Chorus]
A time so ruff an' a time so tuff
A time so hard an' a time so bad
Don't give up, stand up strong on your feet
Don't give up, stand up strong on your feet
[Refrain]
Soon come, Jah Jah soon come
Soon come, the king soon come
He's coming to take us across Ethiopia
He's coming to deliver us of starvation an' hunger (Don’t give up!)
[Refrain]
Soon come, Jah Jah soon come
Soon come, Jah Jah soon come
Don’t give up, mama don't give up
Don’t give up, papa don't give up
[Verse 1]
It's a time for every little thing
An' it’s must be a changes in life
So don't give up likе Solomon
Don't run away like Zacharias
Say, don't give up, mama don't give up
Stand up firm on your feet
Evеry man solely good an' he drinking this time
Don't give up my people!
Don't you give up!
Keep on wish all day long
One day our changes in life will come your way (Yeah)
[Chorus]
A time so ruff, an' a time so tuff
Don't give up, stand up strong on your feet
[Outro]
Soon come, Jah Jah soon come (He's coming!)
Yes, he's got to come in this time!
Don't give up (No-no, no-no)
