Back 2 Life (Live It Up) [feat. T.I.] Lyrics


Steady
Are you ready?
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Goin' through a dark place, dark time and I couldn't even see the light
Had my back up against the wall, I was feelin' like do or die
But what don't kill me make me stronger, know it's gonna be alright
So we celebrate here tonight
Yea, we celebratin' life tonight
The time is now, gotta make it count
So before we die, let's go all up
We'd gotta live it up, up, up
take me to my car car car car
DJ, turn it up, up up
Bring me back to life, back to life
Yea, we'd better live it up, up, up
You know we don't give a what what what what
So to my time's up

Bring me back to life, back to life
Back to life
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
All the tears and all of the prayers
Every single one the ash should
So they level give them batial is bigger than the whole country
From Ingran to Japan, to Jamaica to way down the MIA
We don't stop, we go hard, let's get it in, call it young and free
The time is now, gotta make it count
So before we die, let's go all up
We'd gotta live it up, up, up
Champagne in my cup, cup, cup
Me take, turn it up, up up
Bring me back to life, back to life
Yea, we'd better live it up, up, up
You know we don't give a what what what what
So to my time's up
Bring me back to life, back to life
Back to life
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Okay, the circus tried to bare me, Jesus had to carry me
Middle finger to the ripper ain't gonna scare me
You can't be, you don't understand who I am
It's trouble man, hundred grand in my pan
With the broccoli, hard times put the cell mate bars
Maseratis, Ferrari's, those money don't play back
Presidents stop me, imagine if I stay that
Still shinin' on to make them haters put their shades at
When tragedy strikes I strike back
Lookin' for to all over and out, who does that?
Left a nigga for dead, came back to life
I guess this is me ballin' in the afterlife
Let's hit it
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
We'd gotta live it up, up, up
take me to my car car car car
DJ, turn it up, up up
Bring me back to life, back to life
Yea, we'd better live it up, up, up
You know we don't give a what what what what
So to my time's up
Bring me back to life, back to life
Back to life
That's it

Kisean Jamal Anderson (born February 3, 1990 in Miami, Florida), better known by his stage name Sean Kingston, is a Jamaican-American reggae fusion singer and rapper. He released his debut single, Beautiful Girls, in May 2007 and it managed to rise to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for three weeks. He released his self-titled debut album in June 2007, and then his sophomore studio album, Tomorrow, was released in September of 2009. He has plans to release his third studio album in 2010. In 2007, Kingston was the opening act for Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape Tour and for select dates on Beyoncé's The Beyoncé Experience Tour. Kingston also co-wrote Jason Derülo's number one hit Whatcha Say.

Born on February 3, 1990, Sean Kingston spent his early youth in the Half Way Tree section of his parents' hometown of Kingston, Jamaica – hence his name, before moving to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida at age six. By 1996, Sean's love of music led him to a prodigious performance of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", forever changing his path. "My mom heard me, and she started bringing me around to family members. Then, I graduated from singing, and started picking up rapping from listening to Ice Cube and Slick Rick." The gangster raps of Cube and the storytelling of Rick the Ruler had a profound effect on the boy, who also was exposed to heavy doses of Buju Banton, Dennis Brown, and Rakim from his young parents. Not only did their music affect Sean, but so did their traits. "I feel like I'm my father, 'cause I got a hustler's mentality; if I want something, I'm gonna get it. I'm like my mom, because we're picky about what we do, but we're always gonna make the right choice," says the 19-year-old today.

By his early teens, Sean Kingston was performing his raps throughout South Florida. "I did talent shows and showcases, but I never really battled," he says of his effort to get discovered. With Ft. Lauderdale twenty miles north of Miami, Sean has already shared stages with Trina, Pitbull, Ludacris, Pretty Ricky, and Trick Daddy. Like Trick, Sean has definitely felt the allure of street life. Beginning with a breaking-and-entering charge at age 11, Sean has seen his share of trouble. As the youngest of three supportive siblings, this let down the boy's mother, presently incarcerated herself for identity fraud. "I've been through a lot. I did 21 days in jail, been to boot camp, got sent to Jamaica, slept in cars with my family; I had a rough life," says an appreciative Sean today.

Around 2004, Sean began incorporating elements of his Reggae heritage with his rapping abilities. The gifts have allowed Sean's music to have a unique blend of street raps with Caribbean flare and catchy, homegrown hooks. This one-of-a-kind presence eventually led Sean Kingston's music to the ears of chart-topping producer Jonathan "J.R." Rotem (The Game, Rick Ross, Britney Spears, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Dr. Dre, etc.), who quickly saw potential in the teenage rapper. "He sent me two of his early tracks, and I recorded them, and sent them back in two days," says Kingston. Soon after J.R. and Zach Katz signed the artist to their Beluga Heights record label – and subsequently Cinematic Music Group for Management, a three-way bidding war between Warner Brothers, Atlantic, and Epic/Sony developed.

In addition to having J.R. producing the majority of the album, producers Cool & Dre, DJ Khaled, Just Blaze and others are expected to contribute tracks. In terms of guests, Sean looks forward to appearances by Akon, Rick Ross, Baby Cham and Damian Marley.

As hip-hop moves away from the limited expectations of "kiddie rappers," Sean thinks today's young listeners deserve more, "When people hear my music, I want them to be inspired. Whether a White kid or a Black kid, I want them to know, 'Damn, imagine me being in his predicament.' I want to send messages, and I rep for the streets as a real ass n$#%@. It's all about being true." As most 16-year-olds are concerned with getting a job, Sean Kingston is sitting in the driver's seat of hip-hop's future, and like late great Biggie Smalls, he's got a story to tell.
