Jamaica Gleaner

Get up!

- - Ajani Cole

Hey you! Yeah you Sitting in the chair

With or without hair Question yourself where Where are you at in today’s era

Are you sucking up your parents’ resources Pointlessl­y dreaming of riches and red Rolls-Royce

See it all about the choices Me make in life courses

Get up!

Live your life up!

You have twenty-four hours And hours you need to make-up

Your out with the bums and your peers Drinking beer you’ll never know When death will come near

So get up!

Live your life up!

You have twenty-four hours And hours you need to make-up

When your resources die down You didn’t earn a crown Your unknown let down That made push-backs Slow you down

Please leave a legacy Don’t be who you wanna be be who your supposed to be

Get up

Live your life up.
