Song Id: Memories, livin in the past

Post by Gary Flynn »

Anyone know the song and the riddim

Memories don't live like people do, they'll always member you whether things are good or bad, it's just the memories that we have

Gal stop living ina the past Can't

I think its Buju, but I can't get it until I get the real title.

I don't know who recorded it after 1985, but those lyrics were sang by Yellowman on the track For Your Eyes Only.

Found it. Beenie Man, not Buju

http://www.reggaemovement.com/Lyrics/be ... dapast.htm

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

This was a big song. I must not have described it right.
