Lyrics
It was 1972
My mom and papa brought me through
Back then, I was the favorite
So they say
Even though he was way before his time
I knew every Nesta Marley line
You knew that Peter Tosh was fly
In diamond socks and corduroy
Fast forward to 1981
My dad moved on, and so did I
Inside I kept his songs alive
So they say
I'm an old soul
Living in the body of a nine-year-old
Guess I've been here before
I'm an old soul
Tribute to the ones who made it all possible
Inside me, your legacy lives on
It's now 1991
This was the year after graduation
Shabba Ranks was on the radio station
I played some songs for Mama Rits
I had that girl from round the way
UB40 was on replay
I can't forget that holiday
Marvin Gaye stole her heart away
And I had to learn the harder way
She'll always be a part of me
It's not 'til I met that Mary Jane
Old legends reincarnate
I'm an old soul
Living in the body of a 12-year-old
Guess I've been here before
I'm an old soul
Tribute to the ones who made it all possible
Inside me, your legacy lives on
You said I always seem to know
'Cause I'd say I told you so
As if I've always been around
I'm an old soul
Living in the body of a 12-year-old
Guess I've been here before
I'm an old soul
Tribute to the ones who made it all possible
Inside me, your legacy lives on
I'm an old soul
Living in the body of a 12-year-old
Guess I've been here before
I'm an old soul
Tribute to the ones who made it all possible
Inside me, your legacy lives on
Inside me your legacy lives on
