Never Give Up
Jahmiel Lyrics

Dem all right man
Everyone is okay, and things are going well.

Dem a go waan voice we again, haa
Others may criticize or doubt, but we'll continue to express ourselves confidently.

And the journey go on and on
Our experiences and progress continue indefinitely.

Journey go on, seh, uh huh
Yes indeed, our journey continues into the future.

Weh dem a say now when a rise man a rise
Despite what people may say, when someone is successful they are successful.

And no more tears drop from mama eyes
The hard work and progress we've made means our loved ones no longer have to worry and cry.

Say we ago go dead look deh we still alive
People expected us to fail or give up, but we're still alive and well.

Shock when dem realize, yeah
Others are surprised but impressed with our determination and success.

Man been through the trials and tribulation
We've struggled and faced challenges/practice over time.

But you see we stay strong
Despite those challenges, we remain strong.

Weh dem a say now, never give up 'pon we journey
People are telling us not to give up or lose faith in our path forward.

Never give up 'pon me journey
We refuse to forfeit or lose faith in our aspirations.

Back then dem use to go 'round we
In the past, people would criticize and discourage us.

Before there was no money
When we had no success, we didn't have a lot of money to fall back on.

Look at me now, find it so funny
The progress and success we've made means we can laugh at how far we've come since that time.

Words can't get me down, mommy you grow me
Thanks to my mother's support since I was young, I'm emotionally strong and able to withstand negative feedback.

And you show me, don't doubt yourself
Mom taught me the importance of believing in yourself rather than second-guessing.

Limit is the sky, when me get denied
When other people tell me no or refuse me something, I remember that the sky is the limit.

'Pon your thoughts me rely
I trust in my own thoughts and opinions, even when others criticize or try to dissuade me.

The tears dem weh me cry, that build I
The struggles and setbacks I've experienced have made me stronger and helped me grow.

And this a my reply to who waan kill I
This song is my response to those who have tried to undermine me or see me fail.

While living every day me learn
Every day provides us with opportunities to learn and grow.

Me know early bird get many worm
By waking up early and starting my day ahead of others, I can get more done.

But haste make many waste
If I act too quickly or rashly, it can lead to mistakes and regrets.

So me wait my turn fi table turn
I'll wait patiently for my turn to come, and make sure I'm prepared when it does.

Youths, don't stray be firm
Young people should stay focused and committed on their path forward, rather than getting distracted by other things.

When dem never give me the pass fi di stage show
When other people didn't believe in my talents or give me opportunities I needed to perform on stage.

Me work harder fi make my fame grow
Through hard work and perseverance, I earned my own success and increased my fame.

Plat out weh me waan but dis a nuh cane row
I can say and do what I want, but I still need to be mindful of responsibility and decorum.

A di plan weh make all my dreams came true
It was my determination and mapped-out approach that helped me make my dreams come true.

Daddy, all a di work weh we put in, wasn't for granted
I'm grateful for all the hard work and effort I put in to my success, and know that it wasn't unappreciated.

'Cause now star, we receive all that we wanted
We're finally receiving the success and recognition we've been striving for.

And I'm like a tree by the river Jah planted
With Jah's guidance and intervention, I've grown strong and robust like a tree by a river's edge.

Standing firm never slanted Psalm 1: 3
Staying strong in my faith and beliefs, and continuing to pursue my dreams.

Swear dem woulda see the end a we
Others believed we would give up or fail before we reached our goals.

Now tell me weh dem a say
Now that we've proven them wrong, what are others saying about us?

Never give up 'pon me journey
We refuse to give up, and will continue forging ahead on our path forward.

Me never give up 'pon the journey
In particular, I refuse to give up and will keep working towards my aspirations and goals.

Donwell never give up 'pon the journey
Donwell, too, won't give up on his own path forward.

Jahmiel never give up 'pon the journey
Same for Jahmiel - he's determined to keep working towards success.

Young vibes never give up 'pon the journey
Even the younger generation is inspired to stay committed to their path forward and not give up.

Dem a genuine bridge we nuh burn it
We value our true friends and supporters, and won't betray or leave them behind.
