Clash - Living in Fame Lyrics

So youve got to live up to your name
Or else Ill put you to shame... listen!

If you say you a selector
You a fe have good selection
A-and I say if you say you a de special
Man I say I want to know your potential

You a say you a madness
You a say you a de best
But when I put you pon you feet
A-some a-some a say you cant play de beat

And I hear you say a clash a you ruler
Say a clash sound cooler, eh!
Say a clash sound sweeter
And now-a-days man a measure mile in a metre, eh!

Live up to your name
Or else you die in shame
A-and a so me say fe live up to your name
A so me tell you say you die in shame

Some a dem a bodysnatcher
Some a dem a barracuda, eh!
But who a know fe me jah jah
Fe me jah a me creator, eh!

Flying saucers, rock-and-roll
Natty dread a fe be in control
Its all in the whirlwind
I say youve gone with the blockhead

A-and I say me say dat some a dem a sex pistol
Nipple erectors
A so me tell you set dem sp...(? ) man a gone
An...(? ) farm(? )
And Ill tell you bout the x-generation...
Me know dem a victimed
cause dem no know fe me sweet jah jah, eh!

Clash a you ruler
Say a clash sound cooler
A-and I tell you say a clash sound sweeter
And now-a-days man measure mile in a metre
A none a dem deh measure gallon in a litre
And I tell you say me know dem a cheat ya

cause when you living inna fame
You got to live up to your name
Or else a suffer and you die inna shame
And I tell you say its all in the game, eh!

Some a say dem a selector
Dem a fe have good selection
Or else deh moving in the wrong direction
And deh no know dis a reggae vibration
A-and a so me say a clash
