Yeah, yeah
Yo, tell di DJ run it back
Kingston to Miami, ya done know
Up! Up! Up! Up![Intro]
Money haffi make, gyal haffi whine (whine!)
Bottle pop, light it up, we outside every night
Yaad man link up, Stateside shine
Pocket full, heart cold, but di vibe alright
Money haffi make, gyal haffi whine
From dutty road to penthouse, we a live dat life
Yaad to America, same damn grind
Hustle hard, party harder, til di sunrise[Chorus]
[Verse 1 - Jamaica]
Woke up inna Kingston, sun hot pon di zinc
Block hot, bike loud, but we still haffi think
Corner store to studio, mi nuh sleep, mi nuh blink
Chain heavy, shoes dusty, still clean to di brink
Big batty gyal a whine pon di speaker box
Red Stripe sweat, gold teeth, man a beat di box
No soft life without hard nights pon di rocks
Police siren, church bell, same clock, same shock
We want Benz, we want land, we want more
From half path to half moon, kick down di door
Money haffi make, gyal haffi whine (whine!)
Bottle pop, light it up, we outside every night
Yaad man link up, Stateside shine
Pocket full, heart cold, but di vibe alright
Money haffi make, gyal haffi whine
From dutty road to penthouse, we a live dat life
Yaad to America, same damn grind
Hustle hard, party harder, til di sunrise[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - America]
Touch down ATL, then a quick flight to MIA
Customs ask questions, mi just smile and say vacation
But mi pockets talk Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Haitian
Dollar bill, blue strip, same struggle, different location
Rooftop inna Queens, gyal dem sweet, gyal dem rude
Bottles up, money up, whole place a move
Jamaican boy inna Yankee fitted, can't lose
Sprinter van, studio, club, back to it, no snooze
Jet lag, cash stack, heart still a beat Yaad
But when di bassline drop, you know man a real bad
[Bridge - Gritty & Sweet]
Yeah we come from nothin, pot cover to pot lid
Same man weh did hungry, now di table full wid rib
Mama pray fi we, but di street still call di kid
So we dance through di pain, let di liquor kill di stress quick
Pretty gyal say she love di accent, love di scar too
She love di realness, say di struggle make di man true
[Chorus - Bigger]
Money haffi make, gyal haffi whine (whine pon me!)
Bottle pop, light it up, we outside every night (every night!)
Yaad man link up, Stateside shine
Pocket full, heart cold, but di vibe alright
Money haffi make, gyal haffi whine
From dutty road to penthouse, we a live dat life
Yaad to America, same damn grind
Hustle hard, party harder, til di sunrise
Yo, from Half Way Tree to Times Square
Same heart, same hustle, same prayer
Up!
Run it back one more time, DJ![Outro]
