Up Town Rebel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You wear ghetto clothes
And you knot up your head
Clown uptown, you a uptown dread
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
You come downtown, from day to day
Sniffing cocaine, you're licking collie
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
I watch you switch so suddenly
From Elvis Presley to Bob Marley
Uptown dread, uptown rebel, woo!
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Lamsbread, semillia, every day
Tam, tam fly, full ahead
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
You cultivate, sip it, every day?
Teach the children, parents, them history?
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel you trod Jamdown
God use your pain?
Call your daddy name, Babylon back weh!
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
Uptown dread, uptown rebel
