Never Give Up
Van T.K. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We want peace
Protect the streets
We want love
We’ll rise above
Keep the faith
We’ll conquer hate
What do we find
When we try “mankind”

The time has come to break the chains
Freedom for all, and all free of pain
Realize we’re all the same
Stop the hate and let’s stop the blame

We won’t give up until we see that the hate and the violence has finally ended

We’ll never give up
We’ll never give up
We’ll never give up
We’ll knock it down

I ain’t messing around
Everybody let’s make a righteous sound
Shout it out if hate can’t hold you down

Can you hear the proud people
through your bedroom walls
Then you better just wake up

Hey baby
Don’t waste your time
Let’s get started
The only way we gettin’ down is
on the floor
Don’t pay no mind
To words half-hearted
Now’s the time to shout as one

We’ll never give up
We’ll never give up
We’ll never give up
We’ll knock it down

Rap:
Ethnic diversity is everything
The world is supposed to be
It’s close to me
The diff-e-rence we post between
The historically disenfranchised
Go betweens (Ah!)
We’re standing On the shoulders of love
All you haters we love in spite of
Nevertheless let’s rest the hate rhetoric
Lest we forget the ones thats never getting it

Opera:
cammina in pace (walk in peace),

parla con amore (speak with love),
ferma l'odio (stop hate)
