Living It Up
But daddy made it out
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now ain't life crazy?
Daddy made it out
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now don't be lazy
Trenchtown have a grandson
Growin' up to be somebody
Gong to the Zilla, yo, me flow phenomenally
I am the kind of thing that doesn't happen normally
I'm a one in a zillion
Yo, dawg, if you want some good life finally
Perhaps change your night time hobby
Come out of the old crime lobby
And benefit from your wisdom
Me ah gwan live it up, life is better than great
Every other day mi voice a dozen dub plate
Put in our hustle, we no sidung and wait
Tough up unnu muscle, no it's never too late
Fi gwaan celebrate in a rich people place
Di likkle rastaman from Trenchtown find di gate
With food in our plate and drinks in our crate
We sing 'til da neighbour dem wake
But daddy made it out
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now ain't life crazy?
Daddy made it out
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now don't be lazy
Uptown Jamaica born and raised
On the playground is where I spend most of my days
Burning Babylon and dem dirty ways
While watchin' all the rich kids gone astray
Uptown Jamaica born and raised
On the playground is where I spend most of my days
Big city life Kingston and Mobay
And if you think me sell out
Tell dem ain't no way
So, live it up
Trenchtown to Rema
Riverton, Southside to Jungle
Sherlock, Garden to Spanglers
Payneland, Three Mile to Backto
Portmore, Seaview, Spanish Town
Nine Mile, Brownstown to Flankers
Falmouth, Westside, Orange Hill
But daddy made it out
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now ain't life crazy?
Daddy made it out
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now don't be lazy
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now ain't life crazy?
Daddy made it out
Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams
Believe you and me, don't let go
We're living it up
We're having a good time, baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
