Busy Signal - Trading Places lyrics
[Busy Signal - Trading Places lyrics]
Eh! Switch it, just use your
Imagination ghetto living uptown
Uptown living in the garrison
Eeh! It wouldn't be easy, could never
Be easy, not at all
Ahhh yeah! A nuh disrespect people
Living other peoples footsteps
It's more like a reality check yuh nah mean
Imagine uptown people living in the
Ghetto fi a week
Down town move gone inna the uptown town
Area things nice proper English dem a
Speak uptown people could a neva stand it
When the pipe dem a leak
First of all dem nuh know how
Fi bridge light nuh wah
Use the igloo with the ice
Them use to fridge life
Picture Portia a live a Spain, picture
Bruce Golding live a hundred lane
Picture me
Way richer dan Matterland while him live a
Kentire pon piece a capture land
Picture Michael Lee-Chin hold
Off the gully side him and the thugs dem
A bleach so yuh cah go beside, picture
Brush Stewart a wipe car glass and a
Ask fi the change weh yuh got, no
It wouldn't be easy trading
Places with the ghetto
It would be easy to hear rich people voice a
Echo it wouldn't be easy it would be nice
To see us rise give dem a surprise and mek
Dem knoe we also can live these life
Imagine uptown people living in the
Ghetto fi a week
Down town move gone inna the uptown town
Area things nice proper English dem a
Speak uptown people could a neva stand it
When the pipe dem a leak
First of all dem nuh know how
Fi bridge light nuh wah
Use the igloo with the ice
Them use to fridge life
What if Sizzla was commissioner Police could
Never arrest me fi a spliff
If alliance was Nation Security nuh body
Could never violate or snitch
Suppose uptown people affi nyam
Chicken back and tun cornmeal go see dem wid
Finger a lick, now
Imagine if ghetto youth a go
A di ATM fi go draw cash uptown
Youths a pocket dem a pick, no, hey!
Me say we cah separate we self uptown
Down town come mek we elevate we
Self, street knowledge mek me educate me
Self fi be wise, say, eh, me say we cah
Separate we self uptown down town come
Mek we elevate we self
Street knowledge mek me
Educate me self fi be wiser it wouldn't
Be easy trading places with the ghetto
It would be easy to hear rich people voice a
Echo it wouldn't be easy it would be nice
To see us rise give dem a surprise and mek
Dem knoe we also can live these life
Imagine uptown people living in the
Ghetto fi a week
Down town move gone inna the uptown town
Area things nice proper English dem a
Speak uptown people could a neva stand it
When the pipe dem a leak
First of all dem nuh know how
Fi bridge light nuh wah use

To fridge life picture dat, it wouldn't
Be easy, wouldn't be nice, no
Could never be easy

Nice, no, eehh, Busy! Could'ntbe nice
Believe me nuh, wouldn't be nice
People imagine uptown people living in
The ghetto fi a week
Down town move gone inna the uptown town area
Things nice proper English dem a speak
It's so real, make me just talk da part ya
Listen me keenly picture PJ at the studio
A look a buss as a dj
Picture Pickersgill at the bus
Stop a bawl seh
The sun hot dem eva guh tru dat
Hear mi nuh! Unite, live BUSY!
