lyrics

Walk like you’re bad and you act tough
Not when you’re locked up inna handcuffs
Wear your kahkies dem low pon di ground, always bobbin your head to a raggamuffin sound
Talkin bout times is hard and dem seas rough
Dropped outta school like an idiot
You’re wet up and nah goin dry so
Now tell me how the hell you goin get wise so
Live up badman live up, cause if you’ve had enough well maybe you’re not so tough
Live up badman live up, 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 crack-head on the block
The edge aint far when you’re livin 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, cause if you’ve had enough well maybe you’re not so tough
Live up badman live up, now that you’ve had enough I guess you’re just not so tough
And 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
