Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Untold Stories

Performed by Buju Banton

While I'm Living

Thanks I'll Be Giving

To the Most High You know,

Chorus:

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only him know how we get through everyday

With all the hike in the price

Arm and leg we haffi pay

While our leaders play

Verse 1:

All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab

Thief never love fi see thief with long bag

No love for the people who a suffer real bad

Another toll to the poll may God help we soul

What is to stop the youths from get out of control

Full up of education yet no own a payroll

The clothes on my back have countless eyehole.

I could go on and on the full has never been told

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2:

Who can afford to run will run

But what about those who can't they will have to stay

Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity

In these times I say When mama spend her last and send you go class

Never you ever play

It's a competitive world for low budget people,

Spending a dime while earning a nickel

With no regard to who it may tickle

My cup is full to the brim

I could go on and on the full has never been told

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:

All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab

Thief never love fi see thief with long bag

No love for the people who a suffer real bad

Another toll to the poll may God help we soul

What is to stop the youths from get out of control

Full up of education yet no own a payroll

The clothes on my back have countless eyehole.

I could go on and on the full has never been told

Repeat Chorus

Verse 4:

Who can afford to run will run

But what about those who can't they will have to stay

Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity

In these times I say When mama spend her last and send you go class

Never you ever play

It's a competitive world for low budget people,

Spending a dime while earning a nickel

With no regards for who it may tickle

My cup is full to the brim

I could go on and on the full has never been told

could go on and on the full has never been told

could go on and on the full has never been told

could go on and on the full has never been told

could go on and on the full has never been told

could go on and on the full has never been told

could go on and on.

The full has never...

Been..

Toooooold.
