Up Top Boss
TeeJay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Walk through di valley of di shadow of death
Teejay, Teacha
Up Top, spin dem like ah hub cap, Gaza
Weh dem hear 'bout? We nuh roll lef' e Bere'
Doh fuck around inna di road, mi nuh Kerry
Three jump out ah mi gun ah you get it
Porsche blast off, ah nuh Chevy
Every gyal 'ave ah 'Matic pon her belly and it heavy (woii)
Mix up e Remy wid di Henny
Up Top, Gaza, we ah run di city (yeah)
Goddin' it like monotheistic
Many Mona Lisas, see all di Trini, Yankee, Puerto Ricans
Crack di bone and vegans, killer ah mi daddy
To Alliance, still a show allegiance
Gaza General, Adidja Azim
As him buss dem have him as a giant
Inna macrocosm, Waterford him train
Dem feel dem coulda lef' him soul in chain
You know deh plan did fail
Him still ah run di place, no matter kinda struggle him ah face
Him name WorlBoss, Vybz Kartel, di Pharaoh reign

The song "Up Top Boss" by TeeJay is an anthem for the people of St. James and Portmore, two of the most dangerous communities in Jamaica. The opening lines of the song echo Psalm 23's famous phrase, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death," which serves as a prayer for protection. TeeJay pushes through the darkness, claiming his dominance in the game with the lines, "Up Top, spin dem like ah hub cap, Gaza." The song features a number of references to other Dancehall artists as well, particularly Vybz Kartel, who TeeJay calls the "Pharaoh reign".
TeeJay acknowledges the tough reality of the ghetto, but still emphasizes the importance of earning money and protecting oneself and their assets. He boasts about his success, mentioning his Porsche and the weight of the guns every woman carries on their belly. He references popular gang leaders like Dudus and Pablo, evoking a sense of solidarity among the different communities in Jamaica. The chorus repeats the idea that "ghetto yute fi rich inna life," urging young people living in poverty to aim for wealth and security rather than falling victim to violence.
Overall, "Up Top Boss" is a celebration of the strength and resilience of those living in Jamaican ghettos, as well as a message of encouragement for anyone struggling to survive in difficult circumstances. It's a reminder that through hard work and determination, one can rise to the top and overcome even the toughest of challenges.
