“Give It Up”
(Kickin’ Drug Abuse)
Words & Music: Shelley Fisher
Verse I
Children of the world, are you listening?
Theres a wicked, sickness going ‘round
And if you let it get into your blood stream
it’ll turn your whole life upside down
Now theres a man down one the corner
dealing poison by the bag
he’ll sell you a dream, you’ll smile for a while
and from then on your lifes a drag
Chorus
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future in drug abuse
Verse II
Oh Preachers and Teachers, are you listening?
‘cause you been talking just a little too fast
Giving out your sermons and your lessons
but the students just keep nodding in class
Chorus
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future in drug abuse
Verse III
Oh Mothers and Fathers, are you listening?
You got a duty to your kids you can’t ignore
You got to sit on down and tell’em
what the man is gonna sell’em
If the apples turning rotten...you’re the core
Chorus
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future
‘Give It Up’, turn it loose, theres no future in drug abuse
