Gary G-Wiz - Don't Give Up The Fight lyrics

[Verse 1: Chuck D] I occupy the planet Earth I testify, it's a piece of work I'm gratified down to the dirt Been around the world a few times, I seen the hurt Quakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes Warning times to man's designs Under that concrete y'all call the street Is the heart of land, you can hear the beat [Bridge] The pain in all the lies, uh And the pain in all them lives The pain of losin' homes, yeah With the pain of the unknown, yeah And the pain of what you spent The pain of government No matter what you say, you don't pay Here they come to take it away So don't give it up [Hook: Ziggy Marley and Flavor Flav] Don't give up You don't give up the fight (2x) [Verse 2] The foreign lands and the seven seas Radiation is the world's disease Bringing nations down to the knees Mother Nature, she ain't pleased Trees diseased, deep freeze Doin' us like that government cheese Smell that burning in the breeze Summertime 120 degrees [Bridge] [Verse 3: Ziggy Marley:] (Hey!) Pay close attention Don't be distracted by invention All the rappers around the nation This is how you'll find redemption [Verse 4:] So shut 'em down in appreciation Of the world itself and God's creation What good is the 'hood if you up to no good Them government gangsters would hang you on wood Stop the tape, my mind's stuck in '68 Haight Asbury, now our a** buried in hate I paraphrase beyond the gaze A haze hovers over a crowd that disobeys [Hook] (How to fight the power, cannot run and hide) (x4) (How to fight the power, cannot run and hide, shouldn't be suicide) (x4)
