While I'm Living
Thanks I'll Be Giving
To the Most High You know

Chorus:

I'm living, while I am living
                    
to the father I will pray
                              
Only he know how we get through everyday
                                                    
With all the hike in the price Arm and leg we have to pay
                 
While our leaders play

Verse 1:
                                     
All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
                                   
Tief never love fe see tief wid 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 no payroll
                                           
The clothes pon my back have countless eyehole.
                                         
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 regards 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
Tief never love fe see tief wid 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 no payroll
The clothes on my back have countless eyehole
Could go on and on and the full has never been told

Bridge: (Make sure to make a swift transaction between the G and D, the G is only played 
a brief second).

(On and On)                          G
Though this life keep getting me down
                     
Don't give up now
                       
Got to survive somehow
                                             
Could go on and on and 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,

With no regards to who it may tickle
                     
My cup is full to the brim
                                           
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on.......
                           
The full has never...been....toooooold...
