Sometimes you’ve got to take risks to follow Or make your dreams a reality It only takes one element in your life to sustain yourself And that is consistency throughout all your obstacles Be that one person that is loyal to one vision So that all your energy is committed and directed Mainly on what your heart desires Come on African child don’t lose yourself Don’t give up (x3) Come on African child don’t lose yourself Don’t give up (x3) Sitting around and waiting for someone to make a move on something you want so bad Or blaming the system in which the universe operates Only gives you a step further from what you can fully achieve But if you step up and take risks and responsibilities In that which is destined for you Then not even the sky is the limit Patience is critical oh African child Don’t give up Now preparation is key Temporary pleasure won’t sustain you It only serves to defeat the purpose of the dreams that lie within you So do not conform to what you see Just because other people are doing it Be resourceful Live life with expectations no short cuts Go all the way to reach your success Can also carry you all the way And always remember Don’t give up (x5)
