Walk like ya bad and ya act tough
Not when ya locked up in a handcuff yeh
wear ya kakies dem low way down to the ground
always bobbin ya head to a raggamuffin sound
talkin bout times are hard and dem seas rough
dropped outta school like an idiot
ya wet up and nah gone dry so
and tell me, how de hell ya gone get wise so

Live up bad man live up
cause if you've had enough well maybe you're not so
tough
Live up, bad man live up
now that you've had enough, I guess tyou're just not
so tough

What have ya done for society
what have ya contributed to humanity?
just another crack-head on the block
the edge aint far when ya livin on a rock
ya said ya love that reggae music
so why not try fe use it
dig deep for inspiration
you can skank to the beat but can ya feel the
vibration

Live up bad man live up
cause if you've had enough well maybe you're not so
tough
Live up, bad man live up
now that you've had enough, I guess tyou're just not
so tough

All you ever wanna 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 aint no wonder yet you wonder why things dem
will never change
