Beenie Man - Stop Live Inna Di Past lyrics

When yuh live in the past Yuh lost (blessed, blessed) Yuh better walk on the right path Big life! Liberty! Straight up Mankind what me sing (sung)

Chorus: Memories dont live like people do

They always 'member you

Whether things are good or bad

Its just the memories that you have

The Beenie Man a sing (say hey)

Boy stop live down inna de past

Just member when man a ride 'orse

Now yuh dead that mean yuh soul lost

Crushed like a serpent snake under grass (again!)

Boy stop live down inna de past

Just member when man a ride 'orse

Body between di board head peep through the glass

Crushed like a serpent snake under grass

Verse 1:

Meg, peg, Dis mi an yuh dead

Way back inna di west before dem lick Jango head

For a few more dollars 'nother one dead

High plains drifter man ah fled (I sing)

Too much wickedness down inna di west (down inna di west)

While a Apache form dem nest (dem nest)

Outlaw Josey Wales get vex (get vex)

All bounty hunter dem draw fi dem vest (dem vest)

Gold an diamond wicked man intercept (intercept)

Pack up mi saddle and decide to make a flex

Way back inna di future whe mi haffi mek a step (all sing along)
