Living It Up

My daddy made it out! Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams, believe you me, don’t let go
We’re living it up!
We’re having a good time baby
I was born uptown, I’m the ghetto dream
Now ain’t life crazy?
My daddy made it out! Out of the ghetto
Believe in your dreams, believe you me, don’t let go
We’re living it up!
We’re having a good time baby
I was born uptown, I’m the ghetto dream
Now don’t be lazy

Trench Town have a grandson
Growing up to be somebody
Gong to the Zilly, yo mi flow phenomenally
I am the kind of thing that doesn’t happen normally
I’m a one in a zillion
Yo Doggy 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
Mi a gwan live it up life is better than great
Every other day mi voice a dozen dub plate
Put in our hustle we nuh sit down and wait
Tuff up unnu muscle now is never too late
Fi gwan celebrate inna rich people place
The little Rasta Man from Trench Town fly the gate
With food inna plate and drinks inna crate
We sing till the neighbor dem wake

My daddy made it out! Out of the ghetto

Uptown Jamaica born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Burning Babylon and dem dirty ways
While watching all the rich kids gone astay
Uptown Jamaica born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Big city life Kingston and Mo-Bay
And if you think mi sell out tell dem ain’t no way
So... Live it up Trench Town to Rema
Riverton, South Side to Jungle
Sherlock, Garden, to Spangler’s
Payne Land, Three Mile to Back-to
Portmore, Seaview, Spanish Town
Nine Mile, Browns Town to Flankers
Falmouth, West Side, Orange Hill
