'Hope' Lyrics

SHAGGY:

Prince Mydas:

Oh baby

SHAGGY:

yeah yeah
uh uh uh
uh uh uh yeah uh uh
i remember it wasn’t so long ago we had a one room shack and the lining was low
and my mumma by herself raised me and my bro
wasn’t easy but we did it with the little that flowed
worked hard got us off to school every day
and kept our eyes on the stars though the sky was grey
gave us drive to survive
really showed us the way
now i really understand what she was trying to say

CHORUS:

she said son there’ll be times when the tides are high
and the boat may be rocky u can cry, just never give up.....
u can never give up
in dis life that u lead if u only believe in order to achieve u can never give up.... u can never give up

Prince Mydas:

and its hope that keeps me holding on( and on)
and its hope that makes me carry on ( and on)

SHAGGY V2:

uh uh
Homegrown couldn’t have made it alone
i’ve got a wonderful life 2 kids of my own
with a strong foundation that was carved in stone
i thank my mumma for the love that made my house a home
makes me wonder soketimes if it was all meant to be
all this for humble little guy like me
and all i ever really wanted was a family to teach my kids the same values that she gave to me

CHORUS

SHAGGY: we nah go step pa
things go a betta
never let yourself be overcome by pressure(ME)
cool young bredda have faith insteada
sit-dung and watch one another fight each other
blaze like fire
we nah go retire
god nah sleep and him inspire
we havva reach higher
ah that him require
we havva mek the mark before the time expire

CHORUS - SHAGGY repeats with Prince Mydas

uh uh uh
nah hope yeah
hope keeps it alive yeah
hope keeps it alive yeah
uh only the strong survive
uh hope keeps it alive yeah
yeah hope keeps it alive yeah
only the strong survive
we can carry on
we can carry on
uh uh i can carry on
gotta carry on
