Tosh, Peter - Not Gonna Give It Up Lyrics
[Chorus:]
I'm not gonna give it up
I'm not goin'
I'm not gonna give it up
I'm not goin'
I've got to be fighting
I will be fighting
Til Africa
And Africans are free
I said that I been up there
And I've seen poverty beyond compare
I know slave drivers just don't care
They just don't care
Africa's the richest place
But it has the poorest race
And to me it's just a disgrace
Just a disgrace
Africans don't wait too long
We gotta fight 'cause it's not wrong
Won't you join in and sing this song
Sing this song
[Chorus]
To be poor it's a hurtful pain
Livin inna poverty it's a burning shame
Help yourself 'cause man you're not lame
You are not lame
[Chorus]

Reign In Power 💚🖤💛
I feel sorry for the 110 people that disliked this. This album made for good hearing in my house back in the day. Miss Dad and thanks for introducing me to Peter Tosh, RIP to you both.
Curto reggae desde 1994. Já ouvi de The Skatelites, Byron Lee, Alton Elis, passando pelo maior ícone Bob Marley, e o bastão nas mãos do Black Uhuru e sua decadência após inúmeras formações. Vi resurgi a expectativa em nomes como Garnet Silk e também Luciano, até a chegada dos astros "babas" como Maxxie Priest e Papa Winnie, e depois, sendo reavivado pela grande esperança jamaicana, o irmãos Morgan Heritage.
Porém, igual a Peter Tosh não vi igual. Carisma no show ao vivo, voz inconfundívelmente linda e multi instrumentista e compositor...
Perdoem-me os fãs do Rei Bob Marley, mas Winston Hubert McIntosh era inigualável. Simplesmente, o melhor!!!
Musica linda pete tosh vc é chow ☺😃
Love this Ever up timeless beautiful music And vocals Never go out of style in my opinion outstanding !
Best voice!
Africa's freedom must come first from within. Freedom from greedy and corrupt leaders - political and religious.
Still rocking out to peter tosh in 2019, Classic music is timeless!
Africans are free , politicians are killing everything ,they are being bought ,selling Africa
im not going to give it up! i not gown!!
I need Peters biography.can any help please. Bless
Selah Jah Rastafari
Remember, we are ALL Africans.

I said I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.

Africa's the richest place,
But it has the poorest race.
And to me it's just a disgrace,
Just a disgrace!
That is why, I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
I said I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
I'll be fighting

(Instrumental bridge)
And I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
I said I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.

And I've got to be fighting;
I will be fighting;
Till Africa and Africans are free!
Africans don't wait too long,
We gotta fight cause it's not wrong.
Won't you join in and sing this song?

Cause Jah say, I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
I'm not gonna give it up!

Till Africa and Africans are free!
To be poor is a hurtful pain,
Living in the poverty's a burning shame.
Help yourself cause man you're not lame,
You are not lame!
No, no, no and I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.

Said I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
Said I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
And I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
Said I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
Well I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
Said I'm not gonna give it up!
I'm not gone.
Said I'm not gonna give it up!

Badddddddd
Nobody!!! I said nobody ever played like this band right here in 83' divine performance you can feel the energy the passion just beyond words... i feel that at this period of time tosh had reached his peak in my opinion the musicianship was never so profound like those years.
RIP my heroes
Rasta army still alive ! I will be fighting ! The system of there down ! They just done care
Ouvia muito o Bob Marley mas após ouvir com mais frequência o Peter Tosh, descobri que na minha concepção o Peter Tosh é melhor, é o que acho.
OHHH YEA! JAH BE PRAISED
GOD BLESS THE PROPHET PETER TOSH..i LOVE YOU!!
peter would be free by now ,because in all, he was fighting for us to be free as we are today,lets respect the his fighting
Peter Tosh was not the best Reggae artist ever. He was the best artist who ever lived, period! He was a human beings' human being! And this song and many others prove this beyond doubt! Listen to his song called The Day The Dollar Die, one of the best compositions ever achieved!
I will preach his music to my children
Like my father did to me...
Lady 2trill I will marry you someday! Have hope 🐈
Baddddddd
The best songs in the w
My father who passed in 2006 introduced me to Peter when I was very young still end of 2017 I'm still bangin Tosh .. I'm not gonna give it up
your father is a wise man
My father did the same with me...
Bushdoctor😎😎😎
Amandla Awethu!
fighting till Africa and Africans are free
Big ☝
I sang baratone on this track.
Really?
Man if I can just rewind time, I think I would take that bullet instead of Tosh or at least make that robbery impossible
That's love with such powerful words!
reggaeking wow xx lovely soul xx
The fight continues, my brothers. We MUST help Africa, these conditions are unacceptable. Same for Palestinians, someone must speak for those with no voice if their own. Sometimes we forget how privileged we are!
You love Peter Tosh my family
@Yvette Grant you a not very wise if you think is own race is behind his death. The guy who killed tosh didn't even hide, he didn't try to rob tosh, he took nothing, he and tosh didn't have any beef, he did it out in the open, go spend the little time in prison.
Evergreen! Top top stuff!
TOSH was such a great artist,God knows
keeping rasta on check
never give up rasta keep on fighting rasta
Reggae the only original and most mystical song for soul of a man long live tosh and bob am too proud of you!
I AM NOT GONNA GIVE IT UP
until I get my children to be something of relevance to specify...words..sound and power.
roots rock reggae
the only thing that separate us from one another is our thoughts.
