Living It Up - Damian Marley

But 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 of the ghetto dream, now ain’t life crazy?

Daddy made it out — out of the ghetto

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

We’re living it up — 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 Zilly, 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 gwaan live it up life is better than great

Every other day mi voice a dozen dubplate

Put in our hustle, we nuh sidung and wait

Tough up unnu muscle, no it’s never too late

Fi gwaan celebrate inna rich people place

Di likkle rastaman from Trenchtown fly di gate

With food inna plate and drinks inna crate

We sing till da neighbour dem wake

But 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 of the ghetto dream, now ain’t life crazy?

Daddy made it out — out of the ghetto

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

We’re living it up — having a good time baby

I was born uptown of the ghetto dream, now don’t be lazy

Uptown Jamaica born an' raised

On the playground is where I spend most of my days

Burnin' Babylon and dem dirty ways

While watchin' all the rich kids goin' astray

Uptown Jamaica born an' 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 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 me, don’t let go

We’re living it up — having a good time baby

I was born uptown of the ghetto dream, now don’t be lazy
