Beenie Man - Memories

[Intro]
Blessed, blessed
You lost!
You better walk on the right path
Big life, livety
Straight up
Mankind, unno sing
Song

[Pre-Chorus]
Memories don't live like people do
They always 'member you
Whether things are good or bad
It's just the memories that you have
The Beenie Man a sing say

[Chorus]
Hey boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Now you're dead, that means your soul lost
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass, again
Boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Body between the board, your head a peep through the glass
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass

[Verse 1]
Meg, peg, diss a man you dead
Way back inna the west before dem lick Django's head
For A Few More Dollars, 'nother one dead
High plains drifter man ah fled, I sing
Too much wickedness down inna the west, down inna the west
Wild Apache form dem nest, dem nest
Outlaw Josey Wales get vexed (get vexed)
All bounty hunter dem draw fi dem vest (dem vest)
Gold an' diamond wicked man intercept (intercept)
Pack up me saddle and decide fi make a flex
Way back inna the future where me haffi make a step
And sing along

[Chorus]
Hey boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Now you're dead, that means your soul lost
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass, again
Boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Body between the board, your head a peep through the glass
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass

[Verse 2]
I cyaan believe or understand
Why some man approach that white man tradition
Talk 'bout dem a Cowboy and Indian
Me an African and me a born black man
And, a who deh 'pon the mic? The fabulous Beenie Man
Same maga, skinny, and same cranky one
Talking lyric to all the nation
And sing along

[Pre-Chorus]
Memories don't live like people do
They always 'member you
Whether things is good or bad
It's just the memories that you have
You see Apache, Beenie Man a sing say

[Chorus]
Hey boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Now you're dead, that means your soul lost
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass, again
Boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Body between the board, your head a peep through the glass
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass

[Verse 3]
But, what I cyaan understand
Why some man a reveal white man tradition
Talk 'bout dem a Cowboy and Indian
Like dem no respect dem complexion
Me black and me ugly, Africa me come from
One day you got to return to that land
Selassie I me praise
It's here me make me stand
So sing along

[Chorus]
Hey boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Now you're dead, that means your soul lost
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass, again
Boy, stop live down inna the past
Stop from 'member when man a ride 'orse
Body between the board, your head a peep through the glass
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass

[Verse 1]
Meg, peg, diss a man you dead
Way back inna the west before dem lick Django head
For A Few More Dollars, another one dead
High plains drifter man fled, because
Too much wickedness down inna the west, down inna the west
Wild Apache form dem nest, dem nest
Outlaw Josey Wales get vexed (get vexed)
All bounty hunter dem draw fi dem vest (dem vest)
Gold an' diamond cowboy intercept (intercept)
Me haffi pack up me saddle and decide fi make a step
Way back inna the future Beenie man make a flex
Me sing along

[Outro]
Hey boy, stop live down inna the past
Just 'member when man a ride 'orse..
