Not Gonna Give It Up Lyrics

Peter Tosh Not Gonna Give It Up

CHORUS
I'm not gonna give it up
I'm not goin'
I'm not gonna give it up
I'm not goin'
I will be fighting
I've got to be fighting
I will be fighting
Til Africa
And Africans are free

I said that I been up there
And I've seen poverty beyond compare
I know slave drivers just don't care
They just don't care

CHORUS

Africa's the richest place
But it has the poorest race
And to me it's just a disgrace
Just a disgrace

Africans don't wait too long
We gotta fight 'cause it's not wrong
Won't you join in and sing this song
Sing this song

CHORUS

To be poor it's a hurtful pain
Livin inna poverty it's a burning shame
Help yourself 'cause man you're not lame
You are not lame

CHORUS
