All when me nuh have no food no water still I give thanks to my savior
Jah protect me from the evil and the wicked man obeah
Him save me from the mess make me rise above the stress
When the enemies try to stop mi breath Jah give I more life strength and health
So me have to say

Give thanks father although life is so tough still we never give up say we never give up
Give thanks father they don’t want to see us prosper still we never give up no we never give up

Well give thanks father for the length of my days, for making me strong and great and for the food in my plate.
Even through the storm still we’re going to keep the faith throughout the cold and the rain never stop praising your name. Cause we’re living in a time so crucial, hear the ghetto people bawl
Can’t get no help none at all through the system want them to stall.
They don’t want to see us get far that’s why our face full of scars
We and them boys never par too much grudge in their hearts.

Give thanks father although life is so tough still we never give up say we never give up
Give thanks father they don t want to see us prosper still we never give up no we never give up

Some will come with big smile like they’re your friend but deep in their mind they want to see you dead
They are real hypocrites want to see you fail but the father guide us so we still sail.
Ghetto youths stay focus and never gaze all the traps and obstacles in your way
Never let them get you down never lose your faith above the wicked and the mess Jah make you elevate.
Anytime they see a next man rise they try to pull him down they don’t stop pressuring ghetto people from dusk until dawn. But no matter what they try we keep on shinning like the sun Jah protect my life and set my feet upon a solid ground.

Give thanks father although life is so tough still we never give up say we never give up
Give thanks father they don t want to see us prosper still we never give up no we never give up

All when me nuh have no food no water still I give thanks to my savior
