lyrics

Eh eh eh eh oh oh oh oh eh eh eh eh yeh eh eh eh eh
Reach for the stars the sky is the limit
Ok talk is cheap oh mista chatty mouth where is the rocket ship yes
Be the stars we were told eh every day in church and school
We are grown now buss expectations and gut the rules
To realize earthly stars are flipping fools eh

That’s why I live my life ways below the baseline
I live my life ways below the crust and
I subscribe not to dem ways and constitution yeah
I am living free ways down underground

Dem wi gas yu up and bun yu dung
Be yu friend when money a run
Dem wi gas yu up and bun yu dung
Ulterior motives lies in yu stardom
Dem wi gas yu up and bun yu dung
Be yu friend when money a run eh
When di money nuff di friend dem nuff
But when di money done di friend dem run oh oh oh oh

I live my life ways below the baseline
I live my life ways below the crust and
I subscribe not to dem ways and constitution no
I am living free ways down underground

Hungry mouth tells stories of sorrows and pain
Fishing villages write stories of the seas
Aspiration to wealth propagated greed
Dem wi snuff yu life to cut yu speed eh eh eh
Hold dem accountable for all they did to you
Look beyond the whips and chains
Pree dem intensions to lock yu brain

That’s why I live my life ways below the baseline
I live my life ways below the crust and
I subscribe not to dem ways and constitution yeah
I am living free ways down underground
Yeah eh eh eh eh Yeah eh eh eh eh Yeah eh eh eh eh
Roots Government eh Yeah eh eh eh Yeah eh eh eh Yeah eh eh eh eh eh Bum
