    I’m from Surinam. When this song came out Buju was running our airwaves day after day. He came to perform and we were inside watching him perform . People outside broke the gate of the stadium to come in. Instead of holding them back he told the security to let the people in to come listen because he made music telling tales of the poor. He represented them.

    LYRICS:
    While I'm Living
    Thanks I'll Be Giving
    To the Most High You know,
    I am living while I am living to the Father I will pray
    Only him know how we get through everyday
    With all the hike in the price
    Arm and leg we haffi pay
    While our leaders play
    All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
    Tief never love fi see tief wid long bag
    No love for the people who a suffer real bad
    Another toll to the poll may God help we soul
    What is to stop the youths from get out of control
    Full up of education yet no own a payroll
    The clothes on my back have countless eyehole.
    I could go on and on the full has never been told
    I am living while I am living to the Father I will pray
    Only him know how we get through everyday
    With all the hike in the price
    Arm and leg we haffi pay
    While our leaders play
    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 times 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 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
    I am living while I am living to the Father I will pray
    Only him know how we get through everyday
    With all the hike in the price
    Arm and leg we haffi pay
    While our leaders play
    All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
    Tief never love fi see tief wid long bag
    No love for the people who a suffer real bad
    Another toll to the poll may God help we soul
    What is to stop the youths from get out of control
    Full up of education yet no own a payroll
    The clothes pon yuh back have countless eyehole
    Could go on and on and the full has never been told
    (On and On)
    Though this life keep getting me down
    Don't give up now
    Got to survive somehow
    Could go on and on and the full has never been told
    I am living while I am living to the Father I will pray
    Only him know how we get through everyday
    With all the hike in the price
    Arm and leg we haffi pay
    While our leaders play
    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 times 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 to who it may tickle
    My cup is full to the brim
    I could go on and on the full has never been told
    I could go on and on the full has never been told
    I could go on and on the full has never been told
    I could go on and on the full has never been told
    I could go on and on the full has never been told
    I could go on and on the full has never been told
    I could go on and on.
    The full has never...
    Been.

    I remember about 18 years ago I attended one of his performances, and after the show we (the fans) lined up next to the door that led backstage to meet him and when the show ended he walked right by us and it seemed like he wasn’t going to stick around for the autographs and he was about to leave, I shouted out to him, “Buju” he turns and looks at me and waves me down to go back stage with him. He even told the security guard, who wouldn’t let me in, to let me through There was a long line of people waiting to get his autograph and meet him but I was the only one Buju let in and signed my cds and shirt. Big up Buju! 👊🏻

I have great respect for the ones that continue to deliver messages instead of “catchy hooks.” Don’t get me wrong, this man is catchy, but the message always comes first in his music and I will always appreciate it

    This hit song is full of the reality most people don't want to admit and until we open our eyes to this reality of our society we will never attempt to make a change! Very few entertainers can use only a hand drum, guitar and NO autotune and end up with a classic like this! This is what real talent looks like!!
