Not Gonna Give It Up [BBC in Concert: live at the Dominion Theatre] Songtext
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
Chorus
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
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
Chorus
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
