Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - Living It Up (Official Video)

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

Gone through the ceilin'

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 pass a duzz on the plate

Ute no ah hustle, we no steal, don't handwipe

Don't for pull no muscle, no it's never too late

Dey gwan sellin' right 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 spend most of my days

Earning Babylon and dem dirty wives

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, earn more pay

And if you think me sell out

Tell dem ain't no way

So, live it up

Trenchtown to Rema

Riverton, Soulside to jungle

Sherlock, Gyaden to spun glass

Pineland, Three Mile to walk to

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
