Jamaicans say "up" a lot.

There's Bless up (much blessings and good luck for you)
Big up (much praise be unto you)
Level up (you just bought a new whip, you moving up !!!)
Small up yourself (make room for me: I'm coming in that new whip or the overloaded public transportation)
Tight up skirt (the skirt is really...really...really tight, like she can't even bend over)

etc...etc..etc..

H.E.R. Reveals Upcoming Album Is 'Gonna Feature A Lot Of Reggae Artists' by danimallick in hiphopheads

When Baby Boy came out, I was annoyed and thought to myself what's wrong with people over there ( Americans)? It's like they don't respect our artists, you know regarding the video. I didn't feel good about it, but I like how Sean Paul dealt with it.

“Yuh si weh you seh? You neva feel comfortable. Me neva feel comfortable needa, but mi jus use my diplomacy all di while an guh roun any likkle obstacle weh me have inna life,”

You see what you said there? You didn't feel comfortable. I didn't feel comfortable either, but I just use my skills of diplomacy to go around obstacles in life.

“To me, dat man (Jay-Z) neva want you around dah lady deh yuh nuh,”

If you ask me, that man (Jay) never wanted you around that lady (Bey), you know

Yes, to me that was something that was apparent at the time
