Stop Live In The Past Songtext
von Beenie Man

Hahahaha
(Blessed, blessed)
Yuh lost
Yuh better walk on the right path (path o)
Big life, liberty, straight up
Mankind what me sing
Sung

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, 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

Meg, peg, dis a man 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 Wale (get vexed, get vexed)

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
Where me have to make a step
All sing along


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

I can′t 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

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
Yuh sing the part Beenie Man sing

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

But, what I can't 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 mi come from
One day yuh got to return to dat land
Selassie I, me praise
Its here me make mi stand
So sing along

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

Meg, peg, dis a man 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
Becos

Too much wickedness
(Down inna di west, down inna di west)
While a Apache form (dem nest, dem nest)
Outlaw Josey Wale (get vexed, get vexed)

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, Beenie Man make a flex
We sing along

Hey boy, stop live down inna de past
Just ′member when man a ride 'orse
Now yuh dead that mean yuh soul lost
