Give Thanks, Give Praise

Big boy General Levy in the building, and a be blazing

Big up the youth dem, worldwide

Put on the knife, put on the gun (jeez)

And praise the Almighty One

Yo, practice what we're preaching

That is what we teach them

Let the youth dem know, know

Let them find a reason, blossom every season

Make the youth them grow, grow

Yo, read them like a bible

Fighting for survival, friends become rivals everywhere you go

You got to break the cycle, people can be spiteful

Why they wanna fight you? They don't even know

Give thanks, give praise

'Cause what you give out, you're gonna get back

Spread love, and spread peace

'Cause that's the best way to make an impact

So wha', what's the point in losing your soul?

Life is worth more than silver and gold

So rise up, and stand tall

Even when your back is against the wall

So what? Keep up the focus, keep up the faith

Good things come back to those who wait

What you think is what you create

Stick to the family, it's never too late

Don't try to carry too much on the shoulder

Like the wet days, it's getting colder

Nowadays, you gotta be a soldier

Gotta get wider

We got to live it up, we got to bless it up

We never stress it up, we not gon' mess it up

We have to love it up, we have to club it up

They problem massive from the east and the west, yeah
