In "Inna Life," Laden discusses the struggles of living in Jamaica and the desire to achieve success and wealth. He acknowledges that it's not easy living in such conditions, comparing it to living in Ethiopia. Laden expresses the importance of owning a home, land, car, and big bikes to reach his goal in life. He is aware of people's perception of his wealth, with some people thinking he is overly proud or boastful. Laden refuses to change his ways and his desires for success because he knows he's worked too hard for it.
Laden encourages the ghetto youths to strive for success by working hard for it and to avoid being held down by people who wish to see them struggle. He believes in music as a path to success and has been working towards it since he was a child. Laden is passionate about his goals, and he never wants to give up on them. Laden recognizes that bad-minded people will always try to bring others down, but he refuses to let them discourage him from achieving his goal.
The overall message of the song is to stay focused and never give up on your dreams, no matter how difficult it may seem. Laden encourages people to work hard towards their goals and to avoid being held back by bad-minded people. Houses, cars, land, and big bikes may be materialistic items, but they represent the aspirations of many people in Jamaican society, and through the lyrics of "Inna Life," Laden encourages people to work towards these aspirations.
