They always 'member you
Whether things are good or bad

Now yuh dead that mean yuh soul lost
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass (again!)

Just member when man a ride 'orse
Body between di board head peep through the glass
Crushed like a serpent snake under grass

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