I r^Cemember, wasn't so long ago We had a one room shack and the livin' was low And my m^Fama by herself raised me and my bro

Wasn't easy, but we did it with the little that go

Worked h^Card while the suckers cool every day And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were grey Gave us pr^Fide to survive, really showed us the way

Now I really understood what she was tryin' to say

She said, &q^Cuot;Son there'll be times when the tides are high And the boat may be rocky, you can cry Just never give ^Fup you can never give up," uh-uh In this l^Cife you could lead if you only believe

And in order to achieve what you need

You can never give ^Fup You can never give up

And this h^Cope that k^C9eeps me holding ^Fon on and on and this h^Cope that m^C9akes me carry o^Fn on and on

B^Coom-boom , couldn't have made it alone I got a wonderful life, two kids on my own With a str^Fong foundation that was carved in stone

And my mama for the love that made my house a home

Made me w^Conder some time if this was meant to be All this for a humble little guy like me And all I ^Fever really wanted was a family

To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me

She said, S^Con there'll be times when the tides are high And the boat may be rocky, you can cry Just never give ^Fup

You can never give up, uh-uh

In this l^Cife you could lead if you only believe And in order to achieve what you need You can never give ^Fup

You can never give up

And this h^Cope that k^C9eeps me holding ^Fon on and on and this h^Cope that m^C9akes me carry o^Fn on and on

We n^Cah turn no stepper, things a go better Never let yourself be overcome by pressure C^Fool yah me bredda, have faith instead a

Sid-dung and a watch and all a fight one another

Bl^Caze like fire, nah go retire God nah sleep and a him inspire We ^Fhav a reach higher a that him require

Haffi mek we mark before the time expire

And this h^Cope that k^C9eeps me holding ^Fon on and on and this h^Cope that m^C9akes me carry o^Fn on and on And this h^Cope that k^C9eeps me holding ^Fon on and on and this h^Cope that m^C9akes me carry o^Fn on and on
