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)

Chorus

Verse 2:
Now I cyaan believe or understand
Why some man approach with white man tradition
Talk bout dem a Cowboy and Indian
Me a African an me born Black Man
And a who upon di mic di fabulous Beenie Man
Some mawga skinny and same cranky one
Talking lyric to all di nation (all sing along)

Chorus

Verse 3:
What I caan understand why some man ah revere White Man tradition
Talk bout dem a Cowboy and Indian
Like dem no respect dem complexion
Mi Black and mi ugly Africa me come from
One day yuh got to return to dat land
Selassie I me praise Its here me make mi stand (so sing along)

Chorus:
