Damian Marley - Living it Up Lyrics

But have you 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
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 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 gwan livin' top life is better than great
Every other day we buy a dozen dub plate
Put in our hustle, we nuh sit down and wait
Nuff ah pull no muscle, no it's never too late
Dey gwan celebrate in a rich people place
Ya likkle rastaman from Trenchtown find di gate
With food in our bled and drinks in our crate
We sing till da neighbour dem wake

But have you 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
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 spent most of my days
Burning babilonio and dem dirty ways
While watchin' all the rich kids goin' astray
Uptown Jamaica born an' raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Big city life Kingston, an Mo Bay
And if you think me sell out
Tell dem ain't no way
So, live it up
Trenchtown to Rema
Riverton, South side to jungle
Sherlock, Gyaden to Spanglas
The inland, Three Mile to Bactu
Portmore, sea view, Spanish Town
Nine Mile, downstown to Flankers
Falmouth, Westside, Orange Hill

But have you 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
Having a good time baby
I was born uptown of the ghetto dream
Now don't be lazy
