"Like Royalty" lyrics

"Like Royalty"
(feat. Popcaan)

In life, in life
Like royalty, royalty

If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way

Me use to sleep pon Stagga couch
Me used to sleep pon Currie couch, dem man deh never lef' me out
Me used to live a Eddie house
Me never keep me owna key, Shikima used to let me out
Me bring him with me go L.A.
Is like a him get nominate, him watch the Grammy side a me
'Cause how much peoplecan you say
Would feed you when you hungry, when you broke them bless you with money
But I have been so fortunate
Surrounded by so many people make sure say me copacetic
And dem deh things me can't forget
Your daughter a me daughter, once me living she no haffi fret

If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way

Proto, man a set it like three-a-card
'Member when me get me first Honda Accord
Kartel say 'Clarks,' over Don it did record
Shell the world, me first hit record
Count me blessing dem, reaping the reward
Make me first mil and 'member when me used to starve
Pull up a Irish Town, Benz inna garage
Pop Skull or Protoje them cannot sabotage
Like an iPhone 11, so me charge
Puff me ganja in front the sarge
Right now them surprise how man a live
So me gain me blessing, yow, a so me give

If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way

Mummy put her money where her mouth deh
Empty bank account, support me talent, oh yeah
Everything me have, you get it times a thousand
How me fi repay, no 'mount a money won't spend
Know it mussdid ruff fi see me in a torment
People call me cruff lock up in me apartment
'Memba me did tell you there would be a moment
When the work we put in woulda pay off, so said
Now you see the family top a the mountain
Reaping all the streams and turn dem in a fountain
No get salary, man just a do them own thing
So any town and any city, understand you coming with me

If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way

Stay winning
Aye Proto'!
Yuh know what's di motto
Money, life
Trouble!
Jesse Royal!
Hahaha
