Untold Stories Official Lyrics 
(aka I Am Living)

While I'm Living,

Thanks I'll Be Giving,

To the Most High You know...

(Chorus)

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only him know how wi get through everyday

All the hike in the price

Arm and leg we haffi pay

While our leaders play

Verse 1:

All I see, people a rip and a rob all a grab

Tief neva love fi si tief wid long bag

No love for the people who a suffer real bad

Another toll to the poll may God help wi soul

What is to stop the youths from get out of control

Full up a education yet no own a payroll

The clothes pon mi back have countless eyehole.

Could go on and on the full has never been told

(Chorus)

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only him know how wi get through everyday

With all the hike in the price

Arm and leg wi haffi pay

While our leaders play

Verse 2:

Mi seh who can afford to run will run

But what about those who can't... they will have to stay

Opportunity a scarce, scarce, commodity

In these time I say... When mama spend har last and send you go claaaass

Never you ever play!

It's a competitive world for low budget people

Spending di dime while earning di nickel

With no regard to who it may tickle

My cup is full to the brim

I could go on and on the full has never been told

Though this life keep getting me down

Don't give up now

Got to survive,

Someway, somehow

I could go on and on the full has never been told

(Chorus)

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only him know how wi get through everyday

With all the hike in the price

Arm and leg we haffi pay

While our leaders play

Verse 3:

All I see, people a rip and a rob all a grab

Tief never love fi si tief wid long bag

No love for the people who a suffer real bad

Another toll to the poll may God help wi soul

What is to stop the youths from get out of control

Full up of education yet no own a payroll

The clothes pon you back have countless eyehole.

Could go on and on the full has never been told.

(Chorus)

I am living while I am living to the father I will pray

Only him know how wi get through everyday

All the hike in the price

Arm and leg we haffi pay

While our leaders play

Verse 4:

Mi seh who can afford fi run will run

But what about those who can't, they will have to stay

Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity

In these time I say,
When mama spend her last and send you go class

Never you ever play

It's a competitive world for low budget people

Spending a dime while earning a nickel

With no regards for who it may tickle

My cup is full to the brim

I could go on and on the full has never been told

Could go on and on, the full has never been told

Could go on and on, the full has never been told

Could go on and on, the full has never been told

I could go on and ooooon...

The full has Never,  Been, Toooooooooold.
