Lyrics Tarrus Riley – Live Up
Text:
Chorus:
Come meck wi live up, and prove dem wrong
A no every youth a go turn gun man
Don’t give up, ghetto youth be strong
Live up, and prove dem wrong
Easy ghetto girl get yo education
Don’t give up, ghetto youth be strong
Wi got to make the change a little foundation
Verse 1:
At a young tender age
Babylon lock wi in a cage
Waan turn you in a mental slave
Who no mad dem go down in a grave
But dem cyaa get wi out in a this yah time
Wi no hype but wi proud nah commit no crime
And I know we gonna live it upright
Chorus
Verse 2:
Tek wi fi fool and dem ridicule
And wi a the stone that the builder refuse
Some talk allot but never walk in a wi shoes
And dem think it easy fi live how we do
Cyaa get wi out in a this yah time
Wi no hype but wi proud nah commit no crime
And I know we gonna live it upright
Chorus
Verse 3:
We believe that we will achieve
And that’s possibility
Still the sun will shine for me
Cyaa get wi out in a this yah time
Wi no hype but wi proud nah commit no crime
And I know we gonna live it upright
Chorus
