lyrics

Hold on
Don’t give up yet
Rise to the test
This is your destiny
Hold on
Give it your best
& try your hardest
That is the key

They say you manifest the words that you speak
It’s not coincidental
And if we sow it then I know we will reap
This rule is fundamental
Me rather make sacrifice fi stay fit and healthy
Than roll dice get rich and wealthy
Me know gold it a glitter plenty
But me feast my eyes, it still leave my system empty
Them can't misdirect me
Stay 'pon me toes, move swift and stealthy
So me nah care weh them pitched against me
Cause my shield of faith defend me

Hold on
Don’t give up yet
Rise to the test
This is your destiny
Hold on
Give it your best
& try your hardest
That is the most important thing

No matter what you a reaching for
Victory is not about the score
What are we all competing for?
Better you don’t compare just try do better than you did before
I know it ain’t no easy road
You know we all have burdens
But I will help you bear the load
Whenever you feel uncertain
Because we’ve all been down and we all have highs and lows, yeah
Yeah man you reap just what you sow
That’s how the cycle of life goes

Hold on
Don’t give up yet
Rise to the test
This is your destiny
Hold on
Give it your best
& try your hardest
That is the most important thing

And if you're trying your hardest
You will reap at the harvest

They say you manifest the words that you speak
It’s not coincidental, no way
And if we sow it then I know we will reap
This rule is fundamental
Them fi know

I know you'll succeed if you only hold on
Don’t you give up yet
Rise up to the test
This is your destiny
Hold on
Don't you give up
Don't give up
Oh no, no, no
