Sweet breeze an aroma fills the air
Coconut bread and bush tea me granny made for me
She said son: "Rise, time to face the day
Time to plant your seeds and manifest beyond me"
"Son, you got to be wise
And nah compromise in this one life
Don't follow behind
But stand in line and choose your time"
I can see these things as clear as day
She gave me love, common sense and godness
I rememba, yesterday
Oh, how I miss, how I miss those simpla days
I rememba, yesterday
Oh, how I miss, how I miss those simpla days
Cool breeze bless our horizons
Sweet, sweet, sweet memories
Lovely as diamonds you see
Bare-feets, barefoot, bareback all day
Till in the bush we gone, that's how we ramp and play
'Cause unda Genip tree, we hang, yea
Raiding Mango tree, when they gone way
Dyeing our brand new sneakers black was the style
I see these things as clear as day
Granny would shake her head and just pray
I rememba, yesterday
Oh, how I miss, how I miss those simpla days
I rememba, yesterday
Oh, how I miss, how I miss those simpla days
Summer vibes, summer nights, summer days
Blue skies, hot sun, all man want shade
But granny say: "Boy, watch your company
Man who lie down with dog, will get up with fleas"
But unda Genip tree, we hang yea, raiding mango tree
When they gone way
Now riding our skants down Lindbergh Bay
Brownskin against clear waters, I can see
Gone out to the bouy was child's play
See Sonny trying catch shark, that kill he dog today
I rememba, yesterday
Oh, how I miss, how I miss those simpla days
I rememba, yesterday
Oh, how I miss, how I miss those simpla days
I rememba, yea, oh I rememba yea, oh I rememba yea, oh I remember
That's how we, that's how we ramp and play, yea
That's how we, ramp and play, yea
That's how we, ramp and play, yea
That's how we, ramp and play, yea
That's how we, ramp and play, yea
Play yea (ha ha) yes sir
