Young Franco, General Levy & Tommy Villiers - Give Thanks, Give Praise

Big boy General Levy in the building, and a be blazing
Big up the youth dem, worldwide
Put on the knife, put on the gun (jeez)
And praise the Almighty One

Yo, practice what we're preaching
That is what we teach them
Let the youth dem know, know
Let them find a reason, blossom every season
Make the youth them grow, grow
Yo, read them like a bible
Fighting for survival, friends become rivals everywhere you go
You got to break the cycle, people can be spiteful
Why they wanna fight you? They don't even know

Give thanks, give praise
'Cause what you give out, you're gonna get back
Spread love, and spread peace
'Cause that's the best way to make an impact
So wha', what's the point in losing your soul?
Life is worth more than silver and gold
So rise up, and stand tall
Even when your back is against the wall

So what? Keep up the focus, keep up the faith
Good things come back to those who wait
What you think is what you create
Stick to the family, it's never too late
Don't try to carry too much on the shoulder
