Live Up

Talk like you're bad and you act tough
Now when you lock up in a handcuff
Know where your khakis them low, way down on the ground
Always bobbin' your head to a ragamuffin sound
Talkin' 'bout times is hard and them seas rough
Drop out of school like a eediat
You wet up and not gon' dry so
And tell me, how the hell you gon' get wise so?

Live up, badman, live up, yeah
'Cause if you've had enough, well, maybe you're not so tough
Live up, badman, live up, yeah
Now that you've had enough, I guess you're just not so tough

What have you done for society?
What have you contributed to humanity?
He's just another crackhead on the block
The edge ain't far when you're living on a rock
You said you love that reggae music
Well, why not try fi use it?
Dig deep for inspiration
'Cause you can skank to the beat, but can you feel the vibration?

Live up, badman, live up, yeah
'Cause if you've had enough, well, maybe you're not so tough
Live up, badman, live up, yeah
Now that you've had enough, I guess you're just not so tough

And all you ever want to talk about
Is that system and how it was made to keep you out
And all that time all you did was sit back and complain
Well, it ain't no wonder yet you wonder
Why things them will never change
