Give Thanks(Harmony) Lyrics

Life so uncertain
Mi jus ah work fi mi pickney future
Mi nuh know wen ah my time
But until then

Oh jah, for my life
Me give thanks
Amen!
Mi naw give it up so
Jah never give no,

Jah never give
Jah never give
A man more than he can bear
No time fi a sit down and a loaf now
Life too short hurry up no
Mi waan buy a house in a up town
What a day when the Garrison no bruk yo

Night before last night
Mi deh a mi grandaddy nine night
A burn a high grade and ah mediate
What is the purpose of life
No my life fi you go come struggle
In a my life mi walk weh from trouble
In a my life as a black man mi know it a go hard
But mi waan mek supn from nothing
Jah, Jah, me naw stop work hard
Until mi reach in a the cemetery

Oh jah, for my life
Me give thanks
Amen!
Mi naw give it up so
Jah never give no,
Jah never give
Jah never give
A man more than he can bear
No time fi a sit down and a loaf yo
Life too short hurry up no
Mi waan buy a house in a up town
What a day when the Garrison no bruk yo

Mi being through it worst
Mi strive to be the best
Life so sweet
A no money bring me happiness
But inna babylon
The music fi hold down black people
Caw the lack of it a the root of sadness
And the love of it a the root of all evil
Jah Jah mi nah stop work hard
Until mi reach inna de cemetery

Oh jah, for my life
Me give thanks
Amen!
Mi naw give it up so
