Lyrics:

Yo, Jah know man just go sleep and haffi wake up already
Yo, yo what a thing a life star
Yo man just fi now odd man haffi work star
And if a food me haffi sell inna the market
And if a hand can me push me ago talk it
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Cause mama still a carry water inna basket
And if a water me a spray pon dem windshield
And the sun a shine a burn out me skin still
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me never go no UWI you take on a dental
Hey, me nah go stop until me make it
Working everyday fi get mi goal dem so me set it
So if me haffi work 7 days a week
Out pon the street, money pon mi brain
Me CT scan it
Oh God, no bother act like you no see me
How hard me a work, send some blessing down fi me
You know me have the bill dem pile up
The rent is due and the landlord well waan see me
And if a food me haffi sell inna the market
And if a hand can me push me ago talk it
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Cause mama still a carry water inna basket
And if a water me a spray pon dem windshield
And the sun a shine a burn out me skin still
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me never go no UWI you take on a dental
Me can't stop right yah now, ain't no time fi ghost now
Time a run short so me know that you know
Mr. Time nah wait pon nobody
Just now him miss a chin, you can't tell say you no have it
A this yah year me want a Benz and a Bugatti
Big house pon the hill sipping Bacardi and a party
Mama feel nice with champagne inna Jacuzzi
Now everything nice me a chill inna the Audi
Party!
And if a food me haffi sell inna the market
And if a hand can me push me ago talk it
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Cause mama still a carry water inna basket
And if a water me a spray pon dem windshield
And the sun a shine a burn out me skin still
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me never go no UWI you take on a dental
Well everybody can talk bout something
Something a weh you do fi make you come from nothing
Me no know bout dem me say me know bout me
Me live the poor life and me say RIP
Me no jump, me no star, me sure bout poor life me nah go live no doubt
Me serious bout that and fi that me nah go joke
When money make me go all out, a me dem waan fi draw out
No you mussi mad, a couldn't fail then you a call out
And if a food me haffi sell inna the market
And if a hand can me push me ago talk it
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Me nah give up
Cause mama still a carry water inna basket
And if a water me a spray pon dem windshield
And the sun a shine a burn out me skin still
Me nah give up
Me nah give up

Me never go no UWI you take on a dental
Me nah give up

Cause mama still a carry water inna basket

And if a water me a spray pon dem windshield
And the sun a shine a burn out me skin still
And if a food me haffi sell inna the market
