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

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

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

My daddy made it out! Out of the ghetto

Believe in your dreams, believe you me, don’t let go
