No waan fi life out like cigarette
Youth cyaa go a school a go illiterate
Tired fi show mi smile just fi hide mi stress
My daddy nuh have no money
Cyaa depend on mummy

But me seh, from there's life, there's hope

So all when you feel like life is over
Never give up
All when you feel there's no way out
Jah will fill my cup
That's why mi always praise Jehovah
Never give up

All when you feel like life is over
Never give up
All when you feel there's no way out

That's why mi always praise Jehovah
Never give up

The lyrics of Jah Vinci's song Never Give Up talks about the difficulties of life in the ghetto, where jobs are scarce and education is out of reach for many youths. The wages are sinful and death is common in such an environment, but despite these harsh realities, the singer encourages his listeners never to give up hope. He shares his personal experience of struggling to hide his stress behind a smile and having parents who can't provide financially for him. Nevertheless, he believes that where there's life, there's hope, and he relies on Jah to fill his cup and lead him on.
The second part of the song focuses on praising Jah for being the master and the king of kings who shed his blood to save the world. The singer renounces materialistic things such as diamonds and pearls to show his dedication to Jah. He believes in Jah's amazing grace and his ability to deliver him from the belly of the beast, and he draws strength from him.
The song is a testament to the power of faith even in the midst of adversity. It encourages listeners to keep striving and never give up on their dreams, even when life appears to be at its bleakest. It emphasizes the importance of relying on a higher power to overcome life's obstacles.
