I remember I remember I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember meadows and fields of golden wheat
I remember songbirds and sugar cane so sweet
I remember lots of things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember gingerbread my mama used to bake
And I remember home made toys that daddy used to make
Yes I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And our little country home they filled with love
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And all the things they did to make life happier for us
Yes I remember lots of things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember candy that daddy used to bring I remember songs my mama used to sing
Oh I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
I remember mama and daddy most of all
And how they taught us children right from wrong
I remember mama and daddy most of all
How they used to hope and pray they'd live to see us grown
Oh I remember many things that often I recall
But I remember mama and daddy most of all
Your mother, you fuckin faggot
La da da, da da da, da da (repeated)
Aiyo, this next song is dedicated to the memory of Erik Schrody
Rest in peace, we aint forget about you, you fuckin homo
We still remember
There once was a man who liked to jump around (jump around)
But he got too old to jump up and down (up and down)
(so then what happened?)
So he put the mic down and picked the guitar up (picked the guitar up)
(and then he what?)
Started singin the blues like there's no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
(come on) Left his boys in the house of pain (the house of pain)
It was the wisest decision he ever made (ever made)
But the dumbest thing he could ever do (could ever do)
Was try to buck a 380 on those that act shady
Tell me now what you gonna do (now what you gonna do)
[chorus]
Cause I remember all those years
How it was when you were here
I remember how it was, how it was when you were young
Yesterday was so long ago (long ago)
Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along now
Don't nobody wanna hear your old ass sing no more
remember back when you had The Knack (had the knack)
And i remember when you had your first heart attack (heart attack)
I was right there laughin when I heard the news (heard the news)
I just wish the cardiac would'a murdered you (would'a murdered you)
Maybe Ice-T's right, you are a bitch (you are a bitch)
You come around when you're broke and you leave when you're rich (leave when you're rich)
But the dumbest thing that you could ever do (you could ever do)
Was try to buck a 380 on those that act shady
Tell me now what you gonna do (now what you gonna do)
[chorus]
yo (yo) yo (yo) yo (yo)
Remember back in '94, like right before Ms. Everlast was Whitey Ford
Before his heart attack had him on life support When house of pain was out of
fame like someone doused the flame And they became destined to never jump
around again
Or even further back, when i first had heard The Knack
And you were down with Syndicate, I went to get your shit, man
I was into it
But then you went and took your style and switched the shit
Now you sound ridiculous you dickless piece of shit,
How could you diss me, bitch?
I liked you, thought you was alright for a white dude,
Remember Sway and Tech when I came up and sat beside you
Started rhymin, then you left the room
and didn't say goodbye or nothin?
Like you mad that someone else was
White and tried to rhyme or somethin
I'm sorry man, I wasn't tryin to steal your light or nothin
But you're a homosexual, white rappin Irish {*Muslim*}
Man I wish I was irish, I could be a {*Muslim*} too
Then I'd be confused as you, and I wouldn't know what to do
What's up with you?
I never fucked with you, why would you fuck with me?
Knowin I could rap circles around you, what, you nuts as me?
Plus I can sing better than you and I don't fuckin sing
And probably play guitar better, and I ain't never touched a string
But I ain't mad at you, I'd hate me too if I was you
I'm what you used to be, shit you was me in '92
So everytime I write a lyric, I'mma think of you
And maybe that'll help me know what it's like to sing the blues
[chorus]x2
You fuckin punk, pussy, you fuckin faggot, sissy, fuck
And by the way, a 380's a fuckin sissy gun
If you're gonna shoot somebody use a fuckin real gun
You little bitch
Next time say my fuckin name in a song
Don't be subliminal about it
You wanna fuckin diss me, diss me you fuckin faggot
I awake on a chilly Christmas morning
Watching the choirs singing carols on TV
I gaze out through my window at a dozen other windows
Then I plug in my artificial tree
And like a dream I begin to remember
Every Christmas I used to know
A thousand miles away
A million years ago
I remember the sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think
I remember the sky
I remember snow
Soft as feathers, sharp as thumbtacks
Coming down like lint
And it made you squint when the wind would blow
And ice like vinyl on the streets
Cold as silver, white as sheets
Rain like strings and changing things
Like leaves
I remember leaves
Green as spearmint, crisp as paper
I remember trees
Bare as coat racks, spread like broken umbrellas
And parks and bridges
Ponds and zoos
Ruddy faces, muddy shoes
Light and noise and bees and boys and days
Oh, I remember days or at least I try
But as years go by they’re a sort of haze
And the bluest ink isn’t really sky
And at times I think I would gladly die
I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think
I remember sky
I remember snow
Soft as feathers, sharp as thumb tacks
Coming down like lint
And it made you squint
When the wind would blow
And ice like vinyl on the streets
Cold as silver, white as sheets
Rain like springs and changing things
Like leaves
I remember leaves
Green as spearmint, crisp as paper
I remember trees
Bare as coat racks
Spread like broken umbrellas
And parks and bridges, ponds and zoos
Ruddy faces, muddy shoes
Light and noise and bees and boys
And days
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think I would gladly die
I keep thinkin', hopin' and prayin'
That you will remember and come back to me
When you remember the happiness of our past
Do you think this heartache will last
Remember, oh yes
If love's a game, for you can't win
Remember, I lost, losing you
If you find, in time, your love is mine
Come back, I'll be waiting for you
I keep thinkin', hopin' and prayin'
I'm sittin here alone
Thoughts of you run wild
I'm longin for your touch
Holded by your smile
No use tryin to erase
No one could ever take your place
Well I remember how it used to feel
back when our love was strong and real
And I remember tears in your eyes
As I looked at you and said goodbye
All I want right now is to forget
Every single thing that I regret
And drown out these embers..but I remember
It's yesterday again
Here inside my mind
And I can't find a way
to leave your love behind
I wanna wake up to the day
Your memory won't stand in my way
Well I remember how it used to feel
back when our love was strong and real
And I remember tears in your eyes
As I looked at you and said goodbye
All I want right now is to forget
Every single thing that I regret
And drown out these embers..but I remember
Well I wanna wake up to the day
Your memory won't stand in my way
Well I remember how it used to feel
Back when our love was strong and real
And I remember tears in your eyes
As I looked at you and said goodbye
All I want right now is to forget
Every single thing that I regret
And drown out these embers..but I remember
And I remember..ohhhhhh
Oh I remember ya baby...
I remember when people used to break on me
Saying anything I do would never make money
And everything I do would always be wack
And every word they spoke, a knife in my back
I remember watching "Evil Dead"
At 4 o'clock in the morning, every night all summer
Sitting in the dark trying to game on hoes
For a chance to dip my thang dank in some nanny hole
I remember my first piece of ass
She lived in Detroit, she was white trash
But I fell in love like a big old fool
I remember driving that dumb bitch to night school
I remember the first time me and Jeremy gave weed a try
Oh, what a surprise
Bloodshot eyes
It's all a bunch of lies
We said it didn't work and we wasn't even high
I remember shit, but don't remember a lot
But I remember the house behind the parking lot
And I remember the first day that I met Madrox
From then it was on like Kirk and Spock
And I remember all the people and the things they say
And I remember when I see them, they gon' die that day
And I remember when my mama said watch my back
And I remember who to look out for now in fact
I remember the first day that I hit the green weed
I remember that it's us against the world indeed
And I can remember the very first girl that I fucked
And I can really remember how bad it sucked
And I can remember the day that I took that vow
To bring the world the wicked shit the way that I know how
And I remember all the shows and all the love we got
And I remember buying three for 25 at the weed spot
I remember me and Jeremy used to fight and shit
And I remember all the bites and busted lips
I remember enough to get by
If you feeling what I'm saying, throw your hatchet in the sky
Seasons change and summer turns to fall
Every minute of my life, I remember it all
Happy and sad
Good and the bad
Every day we spent and all the times we had
CHRISTINE
I remember there was mist
Swirling mist upon a vast, glossy lake
There were candles all around
And on the lake there was a boat
And in the boat there was a man
Who was that shape in the shadows?
Whose is the face in the mask?
(She takes of his mask)
PHANTOM
Damn you!
You little plying pandora!
You little demon!
Is this what you wanted to see?!
Curse you!
You little lying Delilah!
You little viper!
Now you cannot ever be free!
Damn you!
Curse you!
Stranger than you dreamt it
Can you even dare to look?
Or bear to think of me
This lonesome gargoyle
Who burns in hell, but secretly
Yearns for heaven, secretly...but Christine...
Fear can turn to love
You'll learn to see, to find the man
Behind the monster, this
Repulsive carcass who seems a beast
But secretly dreams of beauty, secretly, secretly
oh...Christine
Come we must return
Those two fools who run my theater
Haunting memories won't leave me alone
Haunting memories won't leave me alone
I remember you, what you did to me, I remember
October November, I remember what you did to me
Hot night in summer, I'll never forget the time in June, I remember
Love we had, why make it look so bad, I remember
I remember the place, I remember your face
I remember it oh so well, I remember
I remember your touch, I remember how much
I remember how you felt
All the good times were not for waste
And we were never in any haste
We grew to know each other well, so well
Our lives a story to tell
I remember you, what I did to you, do you remember?
October November, I remember what I did to you
Hot night in summer, I'll never forget the time in June
Do you remember?
Love we had, why make it look so bad, I remember
I remember the place, I remember your face
I remember it, oh so well, I remember
I remember your touch, I remember how much
I remember how you felt, I remember
I remember you, I remember we
And the way you used to be, I remember
I remember how, I remember where
That you'll remember now, I remember
I remember you, what you did to me
October November, I remember what you did to me
Hot night in summer, I'll never forget the time in June, I remember
Love we had, why make it look so bad, I remember
I remember the place, I remember your face
I remember it, oh so well, I remember
I remember your touch, I remember how much
I remember how you felt, I remember
I remember you, I remember we
And the way you used to be, I remember
I remember how, I remember where
That you'll remember now, I remember
I remember the place, I remember your face
I remember it, oh so well, I remember
I remember your touch, I remember how much
I remember how you felt, I remember
I remember you, I remember we
And the way you used to be, I remember
I remember how, I remember where
I'm sitting here alone
and I'm thinking of your words.
The words you said to me,
when you walked out of the door.
I'm sitting here alone
and I'm thinking of your words.
The words you said to me,
when you walked out of the door.
It seems so long ago that I kissed you,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that I held you,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that you loved me,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that I hurt you,
I remember everything.
I break my chains and I try to find you.
I can't accept the situation.
I promised that I won't hurt you, again.
I would change myself, cause my soul belongs to you.
My soul belongs to you.
My soul belongs to you.
It seems so long ago that I kissed you,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that I held you,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that you loved me,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that I hurt you,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that I kissed you,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that I held you,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that you loved me,
I remember everything.
It seems so long ago that I hurt you,
I remember everything.
I remember everything.
I remember everything.
I remember everything.

[verse 1]
i drew a 2 of hearts from a deck of cards
a stock trick from my empty repertoire
another hopeless story never read at all
i'm better off looking for the end
where the credits are
it's a pain living life against the grain
i'm looking back and y'all look the same
troy, mark, and little what's his name
memory is rerunning it all
it's the flight of my fall and it's right on the wall
[hook]
i remember
can you remember?
how it was
i do
remember, do you?
[repeat]
[verse 2]
i used to ride the train to the same two stops
and look at the graffiti on the rooftops
like the same song playing on the jukebox
[Hook]
It's been a long damn time since a nigga sold dope
But if you put a brick right in front of me
I remember
Baking soda and a triple bean, I remember
Load a fully auto magazine, I remember
I done fucked so many bitches
That I can't remember names
But if you put that pussy right up in my face
I remember
Drop that pussy down on the floor
I remember
The way she coming down on the pole
I remember
Pop the pussy, don't play with it
I don't care if Kanye hit it,
I don't care if Jay hit it
I'ma eat it up and I'ma lay with it
We shot a chop at the gun range
Got stupid cars, got dumb change
Red bottoms, let the tongue hang
Got a off white Porsche, come stand
I'm whipping work, I remember
Roll up that purp, I remember
Pour up that syrup, I don't remember
I thought she had that purple slut
She coming out that blender
Got a Kesha, got a Rhonda
Got a Anisha, got a Tanya
Got a Ticia, and a Honda
And I eat her, Anaconda
Got condoms in that condo
Got kush greener than rondo
Still hit you up for that flow
You already know
[Hook]

Drop that pussy down on the floor
I remember
The way she coming down on the pole
I remember
Got a Rolls Royce, got a black Benz
Got a bad bitch with some bad friends
She bring them through and I fuck them
But I don't fuck with them in public
Got random bitches just walking up
Baby like do you remember us
She show me that tat on her ass
And I be like "I remember"
Chop it up like a blender,
I fuck then I be friend her
Got a red bitch call her Ginger
Ask cash on my agenda
You buy the bitch, you rent her
She took your cash and I sent her
That pussy prolly so tight
Calling that shit a legal tender
Hold up, hold up, hold up
That's a young nigga dinner
Feast your eyes to a fucking line
That's vizine nigga, never cry
We were young niggas, wailing out
Talking shit to niggas that's 35
Your daughter pull in my driveway
I smash that and others ride

Bread with no meat
Flakes with no milk
Clothes with no silk in
And I remember when this life just used to be ugly

Yo, what up my nigga? Yeah it's been a minute since I saw ya
I hear your lawyer still tryin to get that appeal for ya
Wanted to holla and tell ya what's poppin but you probly
Already know we been goin through problems, anyway I
Hear you been excercisin and gettin strong in the mind
I hear you been searchin for God inside The Koran
That's cool man, I been prayed up myself
I pray for my health and stress way less for wealth now
I'm still a soldier but I'm tryin to be one for Jehovah
We in the Last Days and tha Last Days is almost over
We all older now, my minds much stronger now
I can see in ya letters ya vocabulary's broader now
I wish we woulda been this smart before we let this game rip us apart
But we forgot that God was our heart, heart
But dont even sweat it my nigga stay strong
And we gon kick it when u come home, my nigga Flesh n Bone, Flesh n Bone
[Chorus]
I remember, remember back in the day
When we all used to hang, Yeah
Back in the hood that was a everyday thang
Yall remember, how we got in this game
We was all in the same
But it came to fame and thangs changed, thangs changed
[Verse 2]
What up Lay? Hope you and ya family okay
I don't even know where I should begin cause I got so many things to say
We been dawgs since the Seventh Grade, the Seventh Grade
Struggled together for a better way, and better days
We was Kid n Play, Kriss Kross and all them niggaz
They called you the light one and of course I was the dark skinned one
Hey! You was the human beat box and I was the rapper
In the battles in between classes, those days
They ain't the same no more, we don't even hang no more
We let the fame destroy something's that's worth way more
Cause friends are kinda hard to come by ain't no tellin these days
We should of seen it comin' ain't no trustin these snakes
But all in all, we had a ball
And even though we took a fall, it's not for long fa sho!
We'd be some damn fools if we let silly ego's
Come between some damn trues and cause a fam fued (my nigga, my nigga)
[Chorus]
[Verse3]
Wish, my nigga, I can clearly remember
See me and you go way back to that day and night in November
Or was it December? When you was mobbin tryin to rob some niggaz
And I was out, put the slug in the pump and I cocked it nigga
But I had my finger still on the trigger, Oh my God, my nigga
Screamin at me like "You shot me nigga!" and I was shocked my nigga
My ears started ringin, I was tweakin, blood was squirtin
You was swervin on the curb man, word man
Rushed to Even though youEmergency, coppers came and arrested me
told them I didn't do it they cuffin me
We told them we was just chillin and niggaz hit us
Half dead and ain't snitchin now that's the realest, that was the realest
That's why we still down, what's really real now
Make ya feel how, we in it to win it with a ill style
You suckas better recognize, better check it
When Krayzie and Wish head over ThugLine Records nigga
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I ain't forgot ya Bizzy Bone, what's happenin?
We was always in some action every night straight to brackin its crackin
We walked the streets together, starvin, ain't eat together
Slept outside in zero below, it's gon freeze together
I remember I went to the county
And when I got out you went to bustin your pistol, nigga you rowdy
Now how'd all of a sudden it gettin so cloudy, so cloudy
They say Krayzie got problems with Bizzy, that's why they, they breakin up
Only problem I had was you runnin out on the band
But you explained to me deeper and now I understand
So why is niggaz beefin when there's cheese to get and bread to stack
And head's to crack, we got a deadly rap
Nigga together we the coldest, coldest
The realest East 99 soldiers, soldiers
United we ball, divided we fall
I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least, I think
I remember sky
I remember snow
Soft as feathers,
Sharp as thumbtacks,
Coming down like lint
And it made me squint
When the wind would blow
And ice like vinyl on the streets,
Cold as silver, white as sheets
Rain like strings
And changing things
Like leaves
I remember leaves
Green as spearmint,
Crisp as paper
I remember trees
Bare as coatracks,
Spread like broken umbrellas
And parks and bridges, ponds and zoos,
Ruddy faces, muddy shoes,
Light and noise
And bees and boys
And days
I remember days
Or at least, I try
But as years go by,
They're a sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times, I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
Let me win a while, but you're my baby
It's lookin at me or mine
But I'm the one you love like crazy
Love we're not anything I had
(Verse)
I was your lover, I was your friend
And you never ask the question if
Don't know who to blame, no matter who's fault
Somehow we lost it all
(Chorus)
Oh oh when you loved me
Oh oh when you loved me
(Verse)
They say you know
Yea, you know when it's over
You tell a friend it's over
Remember when you used to lay your head on my shoulder
It made us feel closer
(Chorus)
Oh oh when you loved me
Oh oh when you loved me
When you loved me
When you loved me
(Bridge)
Oh oh oh you didn't know, you didn't know
You didn't know
You messed up my plan
How can you love?
When you never (When you never)
Never ever... feel
Tell me you loved me, it was painful then
Way too good for that
You would always drink upon you heavy
(Chorus)
Oh oh when you loved me
Oh oh when you loved me
When you loved me
(Duet with Juliane Werding)
I remember the first time ... first time ... first time
I remember the first time
when you touch me
when you touch me
du hast gelogen
mich belogen und betrogen
du hast gelogen
das bricht mir das Herz
Ich hab es gestern erfahren
und ich kam mir so bl?d vor
ein Freund hat euch gesehen
ich hab geglaubt du bist anders
mu? ich das wirklich haben?
ich kann dich nicht verstehen
du hast gelogen
mich belogen und betrogen
du hast gelogen
das bricht mir das Herz
I remember the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round and round
I remember the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round
my heart was going round and round
doch ich werd nie mehr wieder daran denken
diese Erinnerung wer ich dir schenken
denn du sagst du verstehst mich
denn du f?hlst nicht dasselbe was ich f?hl
kann schon sein, da? du Recht hast
das ich das hier zu eng seh
egal, es geht um mich
wenn du jedesmal fremd gehst
wenn auch nur in Gedanken
nein, das ertrag ich nicht
I remember the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round and round
I remember the first time
when you kiss me
and my heart was going round
my heart was going round and round
doch ich werd nie mehr wieder daran denken
diese Erinnerung werd ich dir schenken
denn du sagst, du verstehst mich
und ich wei?, du verstehst nicht
denn du f?hlst nicht dasselbe was ich f?hl
I remember ... I remember
I remember the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round and round
I remember the first time
when you kiss me
and my heart was going round
my heart was going round and round
doch ich werd nie mehr wieder daran denken
diese Erinnerung werd ich dir schenken
denn du sagst, du verstehst mich
und ich wei?, du verstehst nicht
Lying in my bed in the sun
it's a beautiful morning
kissing you awake
smiling while yawning
wake up
Staying in this dream
a little bit longer
playing silly games
seeing who's stronger
wake up
WHEREVER YOU GO
WHATEVER YOU SAY
I'LL REMEMBER
FORTUNE IS KIND
KEEP IT FOREVER
DEEP INSIDE
If I would not be with you today
I would not believe
I wish the time would stop for a while
just for a moment
laughing in the coffeecup
it's beautifully boring
wake up
I don't care if the sun fades away,
darkness falls
I don't mind, I'm not scared anymore
WHEREVER YOU GO
WHATEVER YOU SAY
I'LL REMEMBER
FORTUNE IS KIND
KEEP IT FOREVER
IN YOUR MIND
WHEREVER YOU GO
WHATEVER YOU SAY
I'LL REMEMBER
FORTUNE IS KIND
KEEP IT FOREVER
DEEP INSIDE
I don't care if tomorrow's grey, I have memories
I believe it is worth the wait - got my life to live
I don't mind, no I won't be sad 'cause I believe
that a day like today will come again
I wantchu to sit back
Close your eyes
And think of all those wonderful times
That we used to have, yeah
Now I know things aren't the way
They used to be right now
But they are gonna get better, some day
And I know that
Ever since I was about twelve, that's when they documented me
A gang member let me tell you my, autobiography
I can't let it, turn me frenetic, it must be genetic
To get in trouble with the law, take on the realest
Write on the walls, that's what I used to do
Smokin' a joint or two, Lil' Rob getting a little blazed
Walking through my concrete maze, remember the days?
Remember goin' to the store, lookin' at a track, smokin' a sack
But the vato was older too, get him stoned, then jack it back
I remember the guero, he used to look at us all, funny and strange
Because me pants was bigger than his, now they all wear em the same
I used to get jealous; Wondering why they never had the same rice?
Is it because I'm burnin' natos down, eating menudo, frijoles, and rice?
Someone instead of me, all of this insanity
I'm not understanding you never understandin me
Whether the mayoralty get's the priority over the street
We become the majority inflate
The incredible rate, controling our fate
Controling our state's, and I can't wait
Remember you told me I'll never amount to anything?
That I'll probably at the street, sellin' mota
Methamphetamines, so what
It made me an extra buck when I was shit out of luck
And let them do the same to holmes if you was stuck to
Chorus:
And I remember it was not easy
That's what everybody says but not me
Wicked ass times on S.D. streets
But I still love them
And had to have them
And I remember
Remembering the things we used to do
Places we used to go, yeah
And I remember kicking under the street lamp, smoking a J
Hearing my homie say 'Hey homie, pass that joint this way'
And this was everyday and everynight was the same
We didn't call each other by the first or last but by the nicknames
Dreamer, P-wee, also Negro, to name a few, that passed away
Rest In Peace, thee others gone away, with the blues,
Remember the thing's we used to do? Can nobody take it away from us
We used to live life dangerous, and blew away like angel dust
Better known as pezetas, so leva stay away from metiches
And chepas talking mentiras, cuase the can't beat us
Mira, Little Rob on his Lowrider, bicicleta, looking for muñecas
Beautiful, like Aztecas, but when it comes to love
Fuck with the agony for the ecstasy, what goes around, goes around
So baby don't mess with me, don't be testing me
Cause Little Rob be, one of a kind, original and individual
Unforgettable, memorable, indelible, incredible, infallible
Chorus:
And I remember it was not easy
That's what everybody says but not me
Wicked ass times on S.D. streets
But I still love them
And had to have them
And I remember
I remember the things we used to do
Places we used to go, yeah
Give all my love to mi madre, padre
brother and sister, and all of my sangre
Enemy's chale, me vale verga, estas afuera, mirando pa'dentro
You wanna come in but you can't, because were not allowed no mensos
Threw you away like a pencil, give you away like a utensil
Just when you think you had a grip on life, that's when you let go
Ready set go, it's a race to the finish, and only the best always win
And I'm prepared to take you to ?? so let's finish business
What is this, had they becomin' witnesses? I don't know nothin'
I didn't hear nothin', I don't see nothin', that's what I learned when I was
a kid
As long with respect, those who respect you, forget about the one's
That forget about you, my bikes a collection, is a collection, never a big
section
Of mi vida; memories, I need'cha, like a jock that needs his shoes
I wish I could go back, and do it all over again
And I know that ain't happenin', and so I sit rememberin'
Chorus:
And I remember it was not easy
That's what everybody says but not me
Wicked ass times on S.D. streets
But I still love them
And had to have them
And I remember
I remember, everything
Everything we used to do
And I remember
Ooooo, Me and my homies
Underneath the street light
Gettin' high
And I remember
Ooooo, When we used ta play
Shoot'em up bang, bang, bang
Bang, bang, bang
Your Mother!
You fuckin faggot
There once was a man who liked to jump around
But he got too old to jump up and down
So he put down the mic and picked the guitar up
Started singin the blues like there was no tomorrow
Left his boys in the House Of Pain
It was the wisest decision he ever made
But the dumbest thing that he could ever do
Is try to pump a 380 at those that act shady
Tell me now what you gonna do
Cuz i remember all those years
How it was when you were here
I remember how it was
How it was when you were young
Yesterday was so long ago
Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along
Now nobody wanna here your old ass sing no more
I remember back when you had the knack
And I remember when you had your first heart attack
I was right there laughin when I heard the news
I just wish the cardiac would have murderered you
Maybe Ice-T is right you are a bitch
You come around when your broke
And leave when your rich
But the dumbest thing that he could ever do
Is try to pump a 380 at those who act shady
Tell me now what you gonna do
Cuz i remember all those years
How it was when you were here
I remember how it was
How it was when you were young
Yesterday was so long ago
Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along
Now nobody wanna here your old ass sing no more
Remeber back in 94 like right before Ms. Everlast was Whitey Ford
Before his heart attack had him on life support
When House Of Pain was outta fame
Like some one douced the flame
And maybe they destined never to jump around again
Or ever further back when I first had heard the knack
And you were down with Syndicate
I went to get your shit man I was into it
But then you went and took your style and switched the shit
Now you sound rediculous
You dickless piece of shit how could you diss me bitch
I liked you, thought you was alright for a white dude
Remember Sway and Tech when came up and sat beside you
Started rhymin then you left the room and didnt say goodbye or nuttin
Like you mad cuz some one else is white and tryin rhyme or sumtin
Im sorry man I wasnt tryin to steal your light or nuttin
But your a homo sexual white rappin irish ( )
Man I wish I was irish then I could be a ( ) too
Then I'd be confused as you
And I wouldnt know what to do
Wuts up with you, I never fucked wit you
Why would you fuck with me
Knowing I could rap circles around you
Wut you nutz as me ?
Plus I could sing better then you and I dont fuckin sing
And probably play guitar better and I aint never touched a string
But I aint mad at you I'd hate me to if I was you
Im what your used to be, shit you was me in 92
So ever time I right a lyric Im a think of you
And maybe that will help me know what its like to sing the blues
Cuz i remember all those years
How it was when you were here
I remember how it was
How it was when you were young
Yesterday was so long ago
Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along
Now no one wanna here your old ass sing no more
Fuckin faggot sissy, fuck
And by the way 380's a fuckin sissy gun
You gunna shoot somebody use a fucking real gun
You little bitch, next time you use my name in a song
Dont be subliminal about it
You gunna fuckin diss me, diss me you fuckin faggot
Fuckin punk pussy, fucking little bitch
I should've known better, c'mon
I should've known better, c'mon
How l long for those warm summer nights
Of playing the fool and getting uptight
Crush my precious wish to the ground
You are the sunshine taste of forgive and forget
Oh I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious wish upon my loving lips
You have touched my mind, my soul and my everything
Oh I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious wish upon my loving lips
Please, oh please help me
Looking back at what we had
Say I still want you so much
Say I was loving you for just one reason
Loving you for just one season
You're required for desire
Oh I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious wish upon my loving lips
You have touched my mind, my soul and my everything
Oh I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious wish upon my loving lips
Please, oh please help me
Oh I remember
Oh I remember
Say I was, say I was, loving you, loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you, loving you
Please, oh please help me
Oh I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious wish upon my loving lips
Oh I remember having all the love to give
Please, oh please help me
Please, oh please help me
Please, oh please help me
I remember the sounds from the hall
And the books on the shelf
I remember them all
I remember the clock on the desk
And the chair and the rug
And all of the rest
Like the venetian blinds
Drawn shut
The record playing
Over and over
Until dawn until
The grooves had worn thin
On that one song
I remember thinking we were worlds apart
Until I heard your words and they
Spoke my heart
I remember thinking I was too far gone
And you reminded me
That there is no such thing
I remember a weight like lead
Crashing down on my hope
Thunder in my head
I remember the pain the spasm
The sense of loss
Falling into a chasm
[Intro: Mother talking]
Alright listen. You got 15 minutes to get ready. You're gonna miss the bus again.
Did you hear me? Well, I got two options for you.
Either you finish school or you find a job and help out around here.
I don't know what you think you're gonna do living like this.
[Chorus: Scratch]
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "I'm feelin' another part of reality"
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "Let's take a sec to think back"
[Verse 1:]
I'm from places where blacks live a block from the racists
You can go to hood to wood in twenty paces
Casinos and kilos of blow is how we famous
And Raekwon's song "Incarcerated Scarfaces" is CT
860 to 203
Where you can come up pumpin' a few O.Z.'s
Tryin' movin', well respected, duh, you know me
A Doe Raker, always stay around a few O.G.'s
Who push substance
College kids tryin' to cop somethin'
Down at Grattin at the Naval base, hoes stay buzzin'
Run around, stay fuckin', always cheatin' on they husbands
Saw her creepin' at Mohegan even though she said she wasn't
Ask my man Mo
Them younger dudes in New London
Been puffin' on that wet, get upset and start gunnin'
Me and Open Mic used to roll with Zulu in New Haven
Till we build with Alien Nation and made the seperation
That was '96
"Killin' Me Softly" was my shit
I remember Louie flipped when he had a bad trip
Left school my freshman year, plannin' to rap
Thought I was dyin' when I started havin' panic attacks
It's like
[Chorus x2: Scratch]
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "I'm feelin' another part of reality"
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "Let's take a sec to think back"
[Verse 2:]
"I remember"
125th Street in '95
"I remember"
K-Superior taught me to rhyme live
"I remember"
Travelin' to Philly to record with Vinnie
"I remember"
Celph first movin' to New York City
"I remember"
Rock Steady's Anniversary was insane
Beatnuts, Fat Joe, Pun, Big Daddy Kane
Gang Starr, Organized Konfusion, a lot of names
But around '99 everything changed
The Internet blew up
Fans turned to rappers
Rookies swore to God they was microphone masters
Complete metamorphosis, a turn for the worst
I feel like a preacher man and someone burned down my church
Been all over this Earth and now that rap is my work
I don't love it like I used to and that shit hurts
I'm like '88 days
Smooth shit to rock
Gold ropes thick as tomb ships use to dock
It's like
[Chorus x2: Scratch]
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "I'm feelin' another part of reality"
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "Let's take a sec to think back"
[Verse 3:]
"I remember"
Mayday's basement in the summer
"I remember"
Rockin' Hawaii with 8th Wonder
"I remember"
One important thing and it had to be
"I remember"
When my father told me to look up the word apathy
[Outro:]
I remember what you told me, it wasn't too long ago
You told me that you knew the answer, But now I wonder if you really know
I see what appears to be a conflict, what you say and what you do
And I really have to admit it, I don't know how to analyze you
It seems that you never really try to do the best that you can
'Cause the things you say are not the things you do just like any other man
At first you really talked religion, but now that isn't comin' through
I really had hoped that you really were right
And I watched to see how well you'd do
But it seems to me now it was just another trip
Because I didn't see a lasting change
And the whole thing strikes me as peculiar
More than just a little bit strange
You never really try to do the best that you can
And that'll never really be enough
'Cause I saw you back down from what you said you believed
When the goin' got a little rough
It's really too bad, I hoped that you were right
I was really lookin' for a change
But it seems this trip is just like all the rest
there was a time
when our hearts were one
almost lost you
somewhere in the storm
wings of passion
cold and hard to bare
I remember you were standing there
standing there
as we look to the sky
watching love pass us by
one more time
we try to catch a ride
in our hopes there is a dream
sometimes lost so it seems
don't let love pass us by
this time
I remember
the tears of joy we shared
in the darkness
when I held you oh so near
like a dream
I have lost you with the dawn
in the fields standing there alone
searching for home
as we look to the sky
watching love pass us by
one more time
we try to catch a ride
in our hearts there is a dream
sometimes lost so it seems
don't let love pass us by
this time
(guitar solo)
searching for love
sometimes so hard to see
searching for love
sometimes lost in our dreams
as we look to the sky
watching love passing by
one more time
we try to catch a ride
in our hearts there is a dream
sometimes lost so it seems
don't let love pass us by
From the light that blind my eyes
The fire burns inside
From the memories of
Looking into your eyes
I felt your pain
The sadness of your soul
A life of broken dreams
A heart of gold
I can't believe...
I remember
Like it was yesterday
I remember
I saw you sleeping away
I remember
Like it was yesterday
Your blood flows through mine
i'm a part of you
That will never die
The tears in your face
The tears in mine
It will never be the same
But the memories remain...
Who's there?
Who's there?
And I remember flashes of laughter
And lunatics lost in your soul
Seductive propaganda scrolling across my mind
Like guerrilla cinema
Belts and, and wooden spoons
Flies in the afterbirth
Shadows across my mind
Smiling but dead, smiling but dead
Smiling but dead, smiling but dead
Smiling but dead, smiling but dead
Crawling on linoleum kitchens
TV streaming death
And corporate consciousness into my brain
Cracked porcelain sinks
Covered with insects and dirty dishes
The early morning anxiety of, of grade school
Dark stockings to hide the bruises
The secret friends, festive holidays
And everyone in their, in their Sunday best
Pretending to like each other
Generations and generations
Of loneliness, sad mistakes
Stealing away in the dead of night
To escape stiff jawed henchmen
In, in the hungry trucks of an angry slumlord
Miles and miles away
Patience and understanding
Waking on the side of the road
Hissing radiator, hoses cracked like, like burned skin
And days so hot
A nuclear holocaust would've felt like
A cyclonian blizzard
I remember the first time
I felt it alive inside me, turning
But the dead weight moving
Within the folds of its winged embrace
Opening and sliding those black feathers
Inches at a time
Its beak, its, its feet
Pushing and pushing and, and pushing
And digging into the membrane
And I remember going numb
And listening to it hum
I'm feeling it move in its mysteries
Exploring me with power
I remember this
And I know I never had a chance
There was never any escaping it
Amen
Guns and God
Guns and God
I remember the first time ... first time ... first time
I remeber the first time
when you touch me
when you touch me
du hast gelogen
mich belogen und betrogen
du hast gelogen
das bricht mir das Herz
Ich hab es gestern erfahren
und ich kam mir so blöd vor
ein Freund hat euch gesehen
ich hab geglaubt du bist anders
muß ich das wirklich haben?
ich kann dich nicht verstehen
du hast gelogen
mich belogen und betrogen
du hast gelogen
das bricht mir das Herz
I remember the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round and round
I remember the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round
my heart was going round and round
doch ich werd nie mehr wieder daran denken
diese Erinnerung wer ich dir schenken
denn du sagst du verstehst mich
denn du fühlst nicht dasselbe was ich fühl
kann schon sein, daß du Recht hast
das ich das hier zu eng seh
egal, es geht um mich
wenn du jedesmal fremd gehst
wenn auch nur in Gedanken
nein, das ertrag ich nicht
I remeber the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round and round
I remember the first time
when you kiss me
and my heart was going round
my heart was going round and round
doch ich werd nie mehr wieder daran denken
diese Erinnerung werd ich dir schenken
denn du sagst, du verstehst mich
und ich weiß, du verstehst nicht
denn du fühlst nicht dasselbe was ich fühl
I remember ... I remember
I remember the first time
when you touch me
and my heart was going round and round
I remember the first time
when you kiss me
and my heart was going round
my heart was going round and round
doch ich werd nie mehr wieder daran denken
diese Erinnerung werd ich dir schenken
denn du sagst, du verstehst mich
und ich weiß, du verstehst nicht
denn du fühlst nicht dasselbe was ich fühl
[Music: Flo V. Schwarz, T. Eiermann & W. Maier / Lyrics: Flo V. Schwarz]
We were talking about our lives
We were talking about everything
Still we had the same drives
To prove, stand still and to spin
But sweet black emotions, darling
Let us drift far away
When we want to end up sober,
trying not to be unfair, anywhere
I remember you - the spirit's all around
I remember you - the spirit's all around
Quest for drives, quest for us two
Quest for honestly everything
Not the same as it used to
Be whatever you want
But sweet black emotions, darling
Let us drift far away
When we want to end up sober,
trying not to be unfair, anywhere
I remember you - the spirit's all around
I remember you - the spirit's all around
[Strap:]
Devil always follow yo shadow, prayin to the Lord you make it through the battle
Snakes in the grass trynna bite you in the asshole, trynna be sneaky but man I heard the rattle
Close the door lett'n the flies in the house, always keep it real never lie from ya mouth
Please don't sleep with them pies in ya house, cause them trap boys come and leave ya tied to the couch.
I remember ridin round with pops seein not yo's, pulling round decatuer in a all black tahoe.
Mama told me be a soldier, don't take what not yo's
Daddy tried to show me but he got locked up when I was 4, then I turned back to hell, start cutt'n the fool at school.
When I turned 15 got locked up my first to, gwinnet county, damn I'm fucked up what I'm a do, mama like damn boy what I'm a do with you.
I remember...
[Quez:]
The days when I used to rock the skint fade, always stayed with a pair of mj's(spiffy)
Dad always spoiled us, mama told him don't do it cause he can't get everythang for us
To cool for elementary, evidentally, that's why they retained his ass
Asking questions like Rico why yo child so badd and why everytime he lie he change his story so fast(fast)
First sophmore year in high school, write my name on the wall like it's my school
Dad gone so you know I turned straight to them street, got shot one time frozed up for weeks.
Never went to church just to hear the preacher preach
Gotta change my life around cause you know that wasn't me, gotta baby on the way now you know that could'ntbe.
That's a black man life man you know that wouldn't be, QUEZ
[Ali:]
I remember them times when my mama ain't have no money, she was hustlin hard just to fill up my little tummy
I was just in middle school acting a little dummy, trynna be cool doing no work, messing with hunnies(dem girls)
But ian no other wise 'til my mama beat me on my back side.
She'll say no tv and no outside, no talkin on the phone 'til you calm down.
Now I'm thankin, I'm bout to give up, nawl I'm a go head and do this work and get my grades up
Why blame it on my mama she who raised us, and deep inside I know she'll never betyray us(foreal)
So do what you got to do today in order to do what you wanna do tomorow
I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think I remember sky
I remember snow
Soft as feathers, sharp as thumb tacks coming down like lint
And it made you squint when the wind would blow
And ice like vinyl on the streets
Cold as silver, white as sheets
Rain like strings and changing things like leaves
I remember leaves
Green as spearmint, crisp as paper
I remember trees
Bare as coat racks, spread like broken umbrellas
And parks and bridges, ponds and zoos
Ruddy faces, muddy shoes
And nights and noise and bees and boys
And days
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by, they're a sort of haze
And the bluest ink isn't really sky
And at times I think I would gladly die
For a day of sky
Lost again I try to find myself
Direction found unknown
Where else can I go
Sit me down and say to me
Tell it like it is
Desperation eats at me
I feel I need a change
Promises I€™ve made
So helpless and innocent
Hard to try and figure out just what it is I say
Still falling back behind again
Will I always chase you?
What€™s in it if I do?
My ideas that you sold me
Don€™t need to understand
What it is I am
Or who it is I am anymore
Helpless and incocent so hard to try and figure out just what it is I wanna say to you
Please help me understand
I reach my hands for someone there
Start the circle of where I€™ve been
Remember where I€™ve been
The walls that protected have all fallen down
And I don€™t know how much more I can take
I know their faces and I know there names
Been to the places and I remember
I remember when I first went to school
They said, Don't be a joker, don't be a fool
Pledge your allegiance to the red, white and blue
Don't expect your country to do nothin' for you
They said your forefathers loved you
but I only had one
And I watched him die in the heat of the sun
Suckin' up the bullets of a policeman's gun
There was nothin' I could do but stay away
In the U.S.A. you gotta take your chances
If you plan on stayin' free
They call this the land of the living
But they're trying to make a dead man out of me
I remember when I first hit the road
I was runnin' from the lenders of the money I owed
Came to Austin, heard a knock at my door
Crossed another border and I'm runnin' some more
They say they're gonna get me but it ain't happened yet
Burnin' my fingers on my last cigarette
It's time to remember time to forget
Nothin' I could do but get away
I remember all the stories I heard
How a man's supposed to be 'bout as free as a bird
My brother's in prison, my father's dead
Me, I'm tired of living with a price on my head
I wonder if there's a place to be
In the whole wide country for a fella like me
Name's in the paper, face on T.V.
I remember
I remember the way you used to act
I remember
The way we argued and the way we laughed
I remember
The way we talked and the dreams that you had shattered
I remember
All the things that used to not matter
I remember
The way you hurt the ones that used to care
I remember
The pain they felt that I could never bear
I remember
The tears they cried I thought would never end
I remember, when you looked into my eyes
You saw right through me
And I could not hide
I was exposed, just like a child
All of my heart, you hold in your hands
I'm yours to command
I'm yours to command
I, I feel so humbled
With you in my life
With you in my life
I remember, when I looked into your eyes
I saw a reflection of myself
And I could not lie, out of control
Too weak to deny
All of myself is naked before you
But what can I do?
There's nothing I can do
I feel so beautiful
With you in my life
With you in my life
I remember, I remember, I remember, I
With you in my life
Ooh, yeah, ooh, remember, ooh, I remember
And I wanna know where were you when I said I loved you?
And where were you when I cried at night?
Waitin' up, couldn't sleep without you
Thinkin' of all the times we shared
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
I was sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I screamed I hated you
But somehow deep inside still lovin' you
Sad and lonely
No one knew all the pain I went through
All the love I saved deep in my heart for you
Didn't know, where I would go, where I would be
But you made me leave
And plus my heart it just, it just kept tellin' me so, oh
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
I was sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I said I hated you
But somehow deep inside still lovin' you
So sad and lonely
There was nowhere else to go, oh
Nobody else to turn to, no
For the rest of my life, I promise myself
I will love me first, then you and me
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
I was sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I said I hated you
But some how deep inside still lovin' you
Sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
So sad and lonely, hey
I remember when I stormed out
I remember when I gave up lovin' you
I remember a faraway laugh, a sweet caress
You'd help me zip up my dress
I remember your arms around my neck
21 shells wrapped in my nest
Endlessness, didn't last
I won't change, given the chance
And I remember no place for me to hide
Before you came home at night
I remember you turning out the lights
All I ever saw was the red in your eyes
No big surprise, happened nearly every night
Your own flesh and blood, I did wonder why
I remember not knowing what to say
And how calm you had remained
Your child stillborn with no name
I remember the never ending summer rain
Oh, please don't let what was
Get in the way of what's next
Do you ever wonder where
We would be if we'd have tried
A little harder?
It seems like yesterday
That we were making plans
For the future
But it's been so long
Since I have known the truth
These dreams we've left abandoned
And I'm haunted by your face
And the memory of your kisses
Sweet kisses
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
These memories slip away
The ghost of what we were
Is fading
But there is no more pain
Which is funny 'cause that night
I was dying
Now I don't even recognize
The girl I swore that someday
I would marry
But I can't forget her face
And I can't forget her kisses
Sweet kisses
Do you remember?
I still can't forget your touch
Or how we swore that we would never be alone
Do you remember?
I still remember so much
I remember never feeling so alive
Do you remember?
'Cause I still can't forget your touch
We swore that we would never end
We knew our love transcended space and time
Do you remember?
I like to say it's good to meet you
An old face from the past
Reminding me of moments
The time we were all mad
The times we stuck together
The times we fell apart
Memories to be proud of
A treasure here in my heart, yeah
And now I see you here in the room
I realized how we have changed
How much I've missed you
Our memories of the past stay the same
I remember, babe, when you were mine
I remember, I remember
Babe, back in time, I remember
We partied long ago
I can't believe that you're here
Remember we said our last goodbyes
And we shared out last tears
Used to out, I forgotten ya
Said, I need you out here
Schooldays are good to remember
Memories last forever
And now I see you here in the room
I realized how we have changed
How much I've missed you
Our memories of the past stay the same
I remember, babe, when you were mine
I remember, I remember
Babe, back in time, I remember
I remember, babe, when you were mine
I remember, I remember
C-Murder:
Ha Huh man Im tripping out right now
thinking about my motherfucking brother K-L
that nigga used to talk about going to the motherfuckin NBA
and doin this and doin that nigga I'll never forget
Chorus:
I remember in the days how we used to dream
Now a days my life just aint the same 2X
C-Murder:
I remember growin up, with 5 kids we aint have nothin,
but each other and i think damn i miss my brother
I give a shout to my mom she was there for me,
even though sometimes i felt she never cared for me
Packin pistols wasnt even in my frame of thought
We had a problem it was understood that we fought
And Money wasnt even on my most wanted list
It wasnt really necessary just to pull a check
And even though I didnt have a dad,
I used to thank the lord everyday for everything I had
To all my lost thugs i miss ya well,
I cant forget ya I got ya picture in my cell
and uh I never use ya name in vane,
but its a shame how you'll never get to share my fame, my nigga
You never saw your son face to face but rest a sure that ya family straight
cause i remember
Chorus 2x
Magic:
I remember sittin in the hallways of school teachers lookin at me funny,
"Magic why you aint in class", cause im tryin to make some money
Watchin koochie pass waitin for the bell to ring,
cause i got a pocket full a dirt that im gonna blow on my friends
Im headin straight to the streets where i learn the game,
me and my niggas rushin home where we stashed our cane
I went from student to dope dealer hangin out with straight killers,
i did better til i met the Millers
I remember livin lies slowly doin so bad so broke i had no where to go
I was wearin the first pair a Jordan's after the fourth pair came out
I messed around and dropped out tryin to make me some clout
I never worried about my education I was confused
I thought thugs ran the nation until I got on probation,
I remember thats why i thank the lord every day
took me out the game showed me the right way to get paid
I remember
When I was a kid, I rode crates on a skate
And I ate everything momma put on my plate
Niggaz walked around packin' B-B guns
Knock on yo' door and run, just for fun
We went to the sto' and sold bottles fo' a nickel
To feast upon a big bag of Cheetos and a pickle
You could get a soda foe less than quarter
And people used to speak even if they didn't know ya
We fought in the streets like little black soldiers
Shake hands and still be friends when it was over
We used to play tag and hide and go seek
Or hide and go get it if we had a few freaks
But now thangs changed, kids ain't the same
They bang, and slang and blow out brains
I wish I could go back but wishin' is for suckers
Life was so simple then
I remember, oh, When we used to hang
(I remember)
On the porch, drinkin' brew and now they drive-by
(Bay-bee)
I remember, oh, when we used to play
(I remember)
Shoot-em-up, up and down
But now they gang-bang
(Bay-bee)
Well, I remember yesteryear like it was yesterday
Runnin' through the streets of Onessa P-A
I take you through my childhood step by step
Daddy always told me to maintain my rep though
Daddy was a dawg he ain't raise no punks
In the midst of the trees we learned how to thump
At the tender age of nine momma put us on a plane
Next stop, the land of the insane
Compton, California, where the killers grow
Forced to live a life that I didn't know
Wore the wrong colors 'cause I didn't know the facts
Call her bitch, caught a case, caught a slug in my back
But I adapted quickly, suckers tried to get me
Now the fools better run 'cause this just drive by Billy
Little black boy from the East
Forced to be a killer but I can still remember
I remember, oh, when we used to play
(I remember)
Domino, on the porch but now they drive-by
(Bay-bee)
I remember, oh, when we used to have
(I remember)
Army fights, in the smog but now they gang-bang
(Bay-bee)
Back when I was a kid, nigga
We used to have this game called, paperball
(Paperball? What the fuck is that?)
Get a piece of paper, ball that motherfucker up
And play with it, ha, ha, ha, ha
I got Tha Alkaholik juice to wake ya up like a rooster
Back when I was young, I used to be a booster
Stealin' candy from the sto', go to school, come up
I had the whole playground, chewin' all my gum up
You know what I'm sayin'? Playin' still to the chest
And I was the best, playin' kickball at recess
I play Pop Warner, golden pairs for the losers
We used to hop corners on the fresh deuce cruisers
Playin' Galaga, Space Invaders, eatin' Reese's
I had all the women 'cause my tough skins had creases
And it's been that way since day one
Girls of the world ain't nothin' but fun
I used to watch Dr. J, come through in the clutch
Remember New Zoo Review and Starsky and Hutch
I remember lunchtime, we used to rhyme out loud
Peace to the Wop and the hip-hop crowd, I remember
I remember, oh, When we used to hang
(I remember)
On the porch, drinkin' brew and now they drive-by
(Bay-bee)
I remember, oh, when we used to play
(I remember)
Shoot-em-up, up and down
But now they gang-bang
(Bay-bee)
Oh, my life, no, no, I do remember, oh
I know you do, I remember yesterday
I remember when we played
I remember yesterday, aow
I remember Hell, when we used to play
In ghetto blocks through the dark
I remember, yeah, yeah, yeah
We used to play dominoes all night long
Dominoes all night long, yesterday, yesterday
Do you remember yesterday? I remember yesterday
I remember when I was just a kid
Doctors told me I got a disease that’s gonna keep me
sick
Sometimes I’d get so damn depressed
I didn’t feel like getting myself dressed
But when I turned the radio on
And I heard my favorite song
I’d say
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music
Songs that take me, won’t you take me, far away
I remember I got my first guitar
Told everyone I was going to be a rock n roll star
The first time I got my heart broke
I remember the feeling I got in my throat
I felt like dyin’ that night
Seemed like the radio saved my life
I’d say
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music
Songs that take me, won’t you take me far away
We were drivin’ by the light of the moon
Makin’ love to our favorite tunes
The best days I ever had were nights I spent with you
We didn’t have a penny and not a care in the world
I’ll be your man, you be my girl
Such simpler times in a complex world
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music
Songs that take me, won’t you take me far away
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
I remember, I remember it well
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
I remember, I remember it well
You make me feel so beautiful
You are the reason I am
When I don't think I can make it baby
You always tell me I can
I can still feel it, deep inside
I remember the day that changed my life
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
I remember, I remember it well
You make me feel like I'm dreaming
When I wake up, you're always there
You are my reason for living
Loving you, I have no fear
I can still feel it, deep inside
I remember the day that changed my life
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
I remember, I remember it well
I remember, the look in your eye
The way I felt inside
When I looked back into your eyes
I remember, I remember
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
I remember, I remember it well
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
I remember, I remember it well
I remember it well, yeah, ooh yeah
I remember
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
I remember, I remember it well
I remember the way I felt on the day
That you told me, you really love me
I remember the look of love in your eyes
She asks out every single one she can because she
Can't stand to be alone
But if they'd come together
They'd find a friend in each other
He just hit the bottom of his luck
He just doesn't understand the way life works for
unfortunate people
She's got rock bottom down solid cold
She just doesn't understand the way life works for
those not made of solid gold
But if they'd come together
They'd find a friend in each other
They'd find a friend in each other now
So if you're alone
Join together hands
And let's pray for luck
While we still can
So if you're alone
Join together now
And let's pray for luck
While we still can
He smashed his head into the wall today
He doesn't know the way that God wants to work for him
and anyone else
She pushed herself off the bridge today
Cause she can't the thing she's looking for to change
her life for the better
For the better
But if they'd come together
They'd find a friend in each other
They'd find a friend in each other now
So if you're alone
Join together hands
And let's pray for luck
While we still can
So if you're alone
Join together now
And let's pray for luck
While we still can
And if they'd just come together
They would find a friend in each other
They would find a friend in each other
They would find a friend in each other
So if you're alone
Join together now
And let's pray for luck
While we still can
And if you're alone
Join together today
And let's pray for luck
Let's pray for love
Let's pray
While we still can
While we still can
While we can
Peace be with this couple on their wedding-day
I remember a story of great battles won
and the tale of our heroes who died by the gun
while the rest looked and smiled at the freedom they've won
but the weight of the chain slows the run
I remember a song about flags standing high
as the red blazing rockets turned dark a blue sky
I remember the reason the weak shared good-byes if they could
I remember a sight at the dreams that we had
and the injustice they've suffered had driven them mad
I remember when we had the right to be sad all the time
I remember the war of the great days of old
and the battle hymns they sung while they died in the cold
I remember the good men they bought and they sold for a dime
let's take a look now what we've changed
after all we're still so much the same
after all this time
can't we make up our minds
must we all play the losing game
let's take a look now what we've changed
after all we're still so much the same
after all this time
can't we make up our minds
[ VERSE 1: Mike G ]
Remedies for house parties stayed simple and plain
Little wine, little music, little Mary Jane
Gotta keep the lights dim, so when the people walk in
The vibe stays nice and mellow, everybody fits in
And everybody hey and ho, are gettin they groove on
The record only stops when the lights came on
Then they went back off, we continued to groove
Then somebody grabbed the mic like they had somethin to prove
It was just the spirit got em, it wouldn't let loose
There right before our eyes hip-hop was produced
The fire kept on burnin like a doggie in heat
You couldn't help to feel the flavor as you walked through the streets
Everybody had a crew on every block for blocks
This seemed to be insurance that the beat won't stop
So one day shots ring and it was no one to blame
All you thought was would it ever all be the same
But if you got the love, baby, won't a damn thing change
As long as you remember it always remains
[ CHORUS: The Holmes Brothers ]
I remember
When we used to play shoot-em-up, bang-bang
I remember
When we used to play shoot-em-up, bang-bang
MC's and DJ's (2x)
[ VERSE 2: Afrika Baby Bam ]
Block parties jam-packed, the first time I heard rap
And deejays spinnin breakbeats back
These were the last good days of the ghetto
It wasn't all about bein jiggy, so save that rap for Jell-O
Down on my knees in the street playin skelly
Rushin upstairs to see _Graffiti Rock_ on the telly
With one eye on the beats droppin
I knew that one day would come when I'd be on the mic rockin
Every day after school practisin
I mixed blues smarts with street smarts, and then started battle rappin
But for me it wasn't happenin
So I changed up my style, to the ladies been mackin
I wrote a rhyme about 'Roxanne, Roxanne'
I used to bust it out when I went to a jam
My mother read the dirty rap
She said, "You ain't gon' go too far expressin yourself like that
Disrespectin black women
And what's gon' happen when you turn around and try to have your own children?"
So I changed up my style once again
So me and my moms could still be friends
My daddy wasn't buggin out so far
Watchin me pretend to be another rap star
Through my eyes he saw a child changin
Growin up to be a man and leave behind the shootin, bangin
[ CHORUS ]
[ VERSE 3: Afrika Baby Bam ]
Now this one goes out to the ones who set it off
And all the pioneers that made it what it was
Cause we been doin this for 25 years long
So we gotta represent and keep hip-hop strong
JBeez, we on a plateau, ain't nothin stoppin us
Will with the spirit of God, now watch it jump in us
Cause when you cut the roots off the family tree
All you leave behind is the sweet memory
Right from the start, we did it in the park
It wasn't for the money, and it came from the heart
But in these days and times, when rappers write rhymes
All we think about is signin on the dotted line
Me, I been thinkin about the way it used to be
When before you was a rapper, you became an MC
I'm proud of my heritage, and glad that we made it
I still bust rhymes without bein player-hated
Standin on the same stage, rockin with the JBeez
Was a dream come true for a brother like me
Before rap was consumed, and hip-hop was doomed
I was bangin on tables, rhymin in the lunchroom
I used to walk the street with my ghetto blaster
My brothers on the block was startin Zulu chapters
You know what I'm talkin about if you go way back
And yo, big ups to all my sisters, in the name of rap
Cause when it comes to hip-hop, you know you gotta keep it true
Take from the old, mix it with the new
I used to go by the name of MC Shazaam
But now you know me as Afrika Baby Bam
Ye... Demarco... Oh... Baby girl
Ye... baby, drive me crazy
[CHORUS:]
Ye I remember when we first made love
Kissin and huggin, I remember how it was
Girl I need you so much and I was tempted to touch
Lemmie give you tha slow wine, slow wine
The way you do your face gyal yuh look so fine
Baby just take up all my time, buh meh nuh mind
Cause we were sweet sailing, when we were love making,

I can feel your legs shaking, girl your whole body vibrating
I can feel your heart racin
That's just the way we show the love
She said Ohhhhhhhh alright ye when were makin love,

I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
'Cause mine stopped working
I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in the stairs
And time stopped moving
I want you here tonight
I want you here
'Cause I can't believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...
I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing
I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth...
I want you here tonight
I want you here
'Cause I can't believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...
Except you my love. Except you my love...
Come all ye lost
Dive into moss
I hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love
Paper maché
Come all ye reborn
Blow off my horn
I'm driving real hard
This is love, this is porn
God will forgive me
But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn
I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december
And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember
The way you glanced at me, yes I remember
I remember
When we caught a shooting star, yes I remember
I remember
All the things that we shared, all the promise we made,
just you and I
I remember
All the laughter we shared, all the wishes we made,
upon the roof at dawn
Do you remember?
When we were dancing in the rain in that December
And I remember
When my father thought you were a burglar
* (yes) I remember
All the things that we shared, all the promise we made,
just you and I
I remember
All the laughter we shared, all the wishes we made,
upon the roof at dawn
I remember
The way you read your books, yes I remember
The way you tied your shoes, yes I remember
The cake you loved the most, yes I remember
The way you drank you cake coffee, I remember
The way you glanced at me, yes I remember
When we caught a shooting star, yes I remember
When we were dancing in the rain in that december
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, baby
I remember when we had to keep it on the low
Flew you everywhere so nobody would know
And I remember when we got stuck in the storm one night
(Remember that)
Pulled over hopped out had a snowball fight
I remember havin' so much fun
Like fuckin' on the beach waitin' for the sun
I understand when they say love hurts
So let's get it like we had it and make this love work, Mario
Yeah, oh, I remember when we started this star
Hey girl, you know that we belong together
So glad admit to mine forever
And love no matter what you'll never give it up
We used to shit like catch a flick
Sit back in the Roll hug and kiss
We used to pillow fight always makin' a mess
Everything's so right never feeling stress
We used to walk the mall shop all day
We used to watch movies at the crib all day
We used to talk it out instead of throwin' things
We used to pass Jacob's to steam the rings
Bumpin' Brandy on repeat it's revealed to me
You my angel in disguise and it's real to me
Now it's clear to see it's on destiny
So let's get this back how it's suppose to be, my love
Yeah, oh, I remember when we started this star
Hey girl, you know that we belong together
So glad admit to mine forever
And love no matter what you'll never give it up
Baby, I know we can make it happen
First let's get it back to where it started, baby
I thought you said I had a special place in your heart
I thought nothin' in the world would tear us apart
You always said you understood what I did
I told you from the start I had to handle my biz
I can't believe you wanna act this way
After all we've been through, you wanna throw it away
See I'm forever yours, I gotta make it happen
And I just wanna get it back to where we had it, I love you
Yeah, oh, I remember when we started this star
Hey girl, you know that we belong together
So glad admit to mine forever
One time I remember
I remember when you use to think
that you were much better
now you smoke and now you drink
You lost it, your legal
taking pills and you contradict
those sweeping comments you
comments you made before you backflipped
I hope you feel like you belong
yeah just like you did before
just another scenester tool
just another fashion whore
We sure saw who stuck around
morals walked on out the door
now we see you at the club
and you're grinding on your jaw
Was it worth it
feel like you belong
turn your back
feel like you belong
One time I remember
I remember when you use to think
that you were much better
now you smoke and now you drink
was it worth it, put us down
now you've changed and turned your back
Coming up fast on a different line I was early for once
Stop so I looked all around at the chance and I was early for once
Won't take long to get out of this place
Got to take a chance decide my own fate
It's clear now to see the only past left for me is what the future brings
I'm sadly alone and when I'm all on my own my baby gets to moan
She can't recess me for my name and address
I stumbled for thought at it's simple request
Chorus
I remember it
I take a long deep look at the things that I took but it still isn't clear
Break
My kid said hello and I didn't reply you see my memory was gone
That the fire in the grass it just wiped out my past and my memories gone
Won't take long to get out of this place
Got to take a chance decide my own fate
Chorus
I remember it
I remember your song
And the way you sang it to me
So many times in other forms
On distant lands
I remember your smile
And the way you sent it to me
So many times through different air
It lives inside my heart
It is a dream, you me
Is it a dream?
It can't be real
I never felt a wind
So happy, so warm
It can't be real
Sent seven little red birds up my spine
I never felt a wind
So happy, so warm
That sent seven little red birds up my spine
Singing
Shoebab, shoebab shoebab shoebab
Shoebab shoebab shoebab
Shoebab shoebab shoebab
Shoebab shoebab shoebab
You and me we always hit it off well
Always had that gleam in our eyes the days were ours to sell
You'd hit me up for a buck but we never had a dime
So we jumped the subway in town on the Red Line
I remember
We were never off our feet kickin' stones down on the street
We got arrested more than once before we hit the age eighteen
My folks untied the knot, your old man got a job in New York
You picked up habbits, I picked up the guitar
We used to steal a lot
Then catch a show off the Kenmore stop
But I felt I robbed the most
When that poison hit your heart
Should have never seen you off
Should have been right there when you nodded off
But you told me you weren't doing nothing hard
I remember seeing you two weeks before you died
I swear to christ you had that gleam still in your eye
And now I'm runnin'
But I'm runnin' all alone
When I'm done runnin'
Oh can I look in the past without
Getting sad I am just afraid of change
There ain't much left of the family
I should hold on to what there is
The only thing I can do something
About is today and tomorrow
I should learn and focus on
Things to come I remember
Those memories will always wet my eyes
But it's there and it stays behind
As long as we keep talking
I'll be same
And as long as we keep growing
We'll be safe
I remember everything
Will you ever read my words to you
Will I ever find a way
In the morning we were all full of life
And now sad and weak
The only thing I can do something
About is today and tomorrow
I should learn and focus on
Things to come I remember
Those memories will always wet my eyes
But it's there and it stays behind
As long as we keep talking
I'll be same
And as long as we keep growing
We'll be safe
I remember everything
And as long as we keep breathing
We'll be safe
And as long as we keep dreaming
We are alive
I remember everything
Save my credit card
Find yourself another one
Always there for me
I remember back in the days
When you took my heart
And you ran away
Under pressure
'Bout those days in my life
Now I'm losing control
'Cos I'm all alone
And my heart rate
Is beating kind of slow
It's a fever
That's got me to the bone
I don't care
'Cos I dare
It's getting deeper
This pain in my heart
Can't you see
My needs?
Can't we make a fresh start?
We once were lovers
Getting it on
But now I feel so week
I've just got to be strong
My head, my head
Is hurting me now
Wham! Bam! Pow!
You didn't even say 'Ciao'
You just left me
Standing on my own two feet
Very discreet
I'm living life on the street
I've gotta get mine
You've gotta get yours
Stop and pause
No time for wars
I remember back in the days
When you took my love
And you ran away

You know that teenager that thought he knew it all was the same teenager in n out of
Juvenile hall, I remember being chased by the cops replaced my lunch money with a
Sack in my sock, I remember when the homie shy boy got his first regal ducking
In the backseat hiding from my p.o, I remember the homie Cesar scratching records with
A needle us two techniques a sack of yesca and some pisto, Me and the homie Ruben
Always used to stay at each others house, eleven years later, and we're still smoked out,

Mind except for havin a good time I remember those times.

Reminisce, for years and years to come you know, dominator on the beat, fingers on the
Top box, Mr. Criminal with the heat. haha yea, all my homies, I see you. Don't trip,
when i think of my youth, i don't remember you, you weren't there
you didn't care, you still don't care, you never cared if i did, but i don't
it was a dream i had no choice, i couldn't scream i had no voice
to say or do anything, i was all alone and the hate did grow
and i remember what its like to be different, a constant fight, ya, i remember
you couldn't see no you couldn't feel, wake up from the dream just to find its real, yeah i remember
my mind was full of hate, my heart was empty i couldn't take it
it was your choice to leave, i hated you, did you hate me?
a fight for custody, over me, a piece of property, just filled me w/ confusion
empty thoughts, anger & illusions.
Do you remember me, that whining kid, that crying baby
the hate has evolved, problem solved, you don't exist, its all your fault
yeah i remember what its like to be a kid, that's not my life
you're nothing to me, you never were, that's pretty lame
It's Incredible
I Remember Like It Was '99
Wait, Was That '88
When Niggers Had To Make Real Cake Every Day
Before They Could Say It Was Really That Nigger
Nowadays Everybody Fake, Everybody Pushing Weight
Wait, Wait, Wait, Even That Nigger? Mmmdaaahhh
Even Know He Suck
That Beat Go Hard As Shit, So Don't Give A Fuck
I Never Wanna Have To Be For The Street Like
I Never Wanna Throw 25 Once A Lifetime
In Spite My Homies Have Died And Drive My I Have 15g's From Selling Weed
Nah, That Wasn't Me, Was The Kwans, I Just Hold The Phone
My Big Brother Y'all Don't Know
When Niggers Stepped To Me On The Corner He Fold Them
Had Show Them
Now I Got Twins And I'm Shocked
Damn, How Fast They Growing
Wonder If They Knowing That They Daddy Go Hard
Remember When I Had To Use Them Free Lunch Cards
But They Never Will, Said A Hundred Mill
Well My Family Next Deal
But Everybody Say That My
First Mistaking, And Lying's Next
Nick Is Broke, He Ain't Cold
He No Chair, Never Ceo
That Labor, I Was Tv Shows
But That's Where You're Wrong Boy
Uh, You Better Go Boy
Listen To This Song Boy
I Got Paper That Can't Be Touched
And I Ain't Talking Them Long Boys
I Remember, I Remember, I Remember Was A Fan Of A Dude From Michigan
Link With MeProtect My Family, Protect My Wife
Fuck How You Handle It, This Ain't Your Life
Could Have Ain't That Fight, Sugar With The Left, Mayweather With The Right
Shaking Like Cops At Night
Them Stripes Whips And Chains
All We Like Is Whips And Chains
Diamonds Bright 6 And Change
Maybach, Bitches Names
Screaming While We Switching Lanes
Kicking Ass, Taking Names
At Them Lames, Jessie James
West Coast Chopper Nigger
South East, I Remember
I Remember, I Remember
I Remember, I Remember
I Remember, I Remember
Wouldn't Die
And Then I With You
Our song used to be my lullaby
Now it's just a tune from days gone by
Now it only haunts me in my sleep
And I soak my pillow when I weep
I drop my tears
I drop my tears.
I remember when we danced
Then world fell away but my heart held to you.
I remember when we fell in love
I close my eyes. I can still believe you're here.
I remember when you left.
I cried as I prayed I would soon forget you.
I never will. I never will.
With loneliness, I wonder 'round in shame
As memories of you run down like rain.
Asleep at night I still call out your name.
As the storm clouds beat a cold refrain
Against my window pane.
[chorus]
I know that life is simpler now
But is it even worthwhile?
I said was it all worth it, baby?
I know that he's the safer bet
But I'm the best you had yet.
There ain't no denying
I ain't even tryin' to get over my baby
No, no, no....
In time I will show you what you´ll need
In time you´ll see visions known to me
In time you´ll be chosen for your deeds
In time wisdom will be revealed you'll see
Never thought it would take so long till the
day when I was freed
For so long I forgot what I always needed
I remember
Never thought I would live to breath in a land
that welcomed me
For so long I forgot what I always needed
I remember
One day I was told this prophecy
One day I would own my destiny
Never thought it would take so long till the
day when I was freed
For so long I forgot what I always needed
I remember
Never thought I would live to breath in a land
that welcomed me
For so long I forgot what I always needed
I remember
Never thought it would take so long till the
day when I was freed
For so long I forgot what I always needed
I remember
Never thought I would live to breath in a land
that welcomed me
For so long I forgot what I always needed
Through the mists of eternity
I have found you again
The passion in your eyes brought back the memories
Of the daybreak of our time
I had never lost my hope
Longing makes me crazy
I missed you really so much that I almost despaired
Previous times gave us a clue
To find a pact for our love
Now we're not separate anymore
That's what I always wished before
[Chorus:]
I remember that first time
Green emerald eyes and the sweetest smile
You are the colour of my life
I pray I'll never lose you again
Until my final end
We found our way through
Green fields in summer days
And along stony paths in winter's cold
When the shadows are closing in
I showed you how to fly
No one can trim our wings
Or the angels will forever cry
And when you whisper my name
I wish you would never stop
There's no money in the world
That can buy me your precious love
Instrumental
"yo nate, shit is crazy, I shook hands with mad dead niggas yo, all the
Niggas that used to be on the block, ill will, marty, black ed, yo son,
Mad niggas is gone, rest in peace though."
Verse 1:
Fifty-two blocks, gazelle frames
Bald heads and heavy chains
Somehow caught in the game
Back in '83, before cable tv
When these so called thug niggas played in the street
I used to hear the stories
Live niggas here before me
Like the rich porters, the fat cats, the pauly's
Outlaw league, from the street to the pen
Eyes glossy, niggas only speak when they bent
Off the perfect mixture
Forcin' down herbs and liquor
Only hot slugs 'll hurt ya quicker
Think it out and elevate, I gave years to the state
As a 92-r-7478, it set me straight
The changing of a stubborn cat
The one that used to hustle on the block mad hard and loved to rap
In goose down coats and wool hats, the youth in me
I guess life on the streets ain't what it used to be.
Chorus
I remember! (echo)
When niggas used to live it up, live it up
Flashin' dough all night
I remember! (echo)
When niggas didn't give a fuck, gettin' drunk
Shootin' guns all night.
Verse 2:
Straight shots of hen with no chaser
Mo' paper, stubborn, hard headed like joe frazier
The gremlins, the pack that I come with
Keep gats by the stomach
Act up and stack hundreds
Niggas don't want it, see me I be the ring leader, lion tamer
Do the bankhead and macarena
A black entertainer, bottom line
Ya'll niggas know who got the hottest rhymes
Face it, I got the whole globe on some nate shit
Straight from the corners to the covers of the latest rap pages
Turn the projects to black vegas
Don kingin' niggas, make 'em sign blank papers
It's the american way, do my enemies pray or is it just me?
Hustlin', hopin' the fiends trust me
Talkin' to us, hold up, let me walk you through this
Wannabe pimps, hoes, often shooters
Niggas need to know what the truth is
Fuck the sarcasm
I miss my nigga mark but God has 'em
When I see his flics I start spazzin'
I learned to let it go
But I guess livin' this life a nigga never know.
Chorus
Verse 3:
I used to love starters, thug garments
Boppin' into spofford, r.o.r. on drug charges
Writin' on walls, florescent markers and krylon
Savin' my loot to buy a firearm
Broken safety, borough hall and jay street
Hopped the train not knowin' that a fall awaits me
Problems came when I started slingin'
Late night I hear revolvers ringin'
The echos cause cops to start rodney kingin'
Many riots, is there any silence?
Everybody sipped henny, hustled with many clients
Growin' up on the same block my pops was raised
Rocked waves, blend tapes playin' on hot days
Brought the speakers out
Police made us put the wrieffer out
Peep it, I was too young to leave the house
I'm tryin' to see the world, runnin' the streets without a care
I remember it well 'cause I was there.
i remember
i remember you told me she was the one
i remember you told me a new life had begun
she was the one who made you change your ways
she was the one who promised you better days
i remember you told me it was meant to be
it all felt so good, it all felt so right
i but as time passed by your dreams slowly died
i remember the times we used to hang out
i remember the times we laugheds o loud
about suckers who settled down so young
and how all their dreams were over and done
i remember you told me it would never happen to you
it all felt so good, it all felt so right
but now i can see the pain in your eyes
cause now you're stuck (life sentence!)
now you're stuck in a life that you don't defend
where are your ideals, where the fuck do you stand
did you forget what we once screamed so loud
now see how you turned out
i remember...
Whoever thought this a happen?
Hey yo, that bum nigga rappin'
Took it the top, now I won't stop
I remember bein' broke 'cause if I didn't nigga
I'd be frontin', reminisicin' where your nigga at?
Ain't nuthin,' never thought about the hot outfits
Jewelry or the celly, back then we was in the skelly
Shorties with the barrettes, candy in the bag
The handgun, remember when we shot the fair one?
A nigga like me had the motherfuckin' pro players
And my Lees on, for a nickel got my squeeze on
Fly balls off the wall in the schoolyard
Swear to Gods, got my first quickie in school garage
I remember those days
You and I gettin' paid
Now we got it made, oh yeah
I remember, I remember
Aiyo, we open gates and let the dogs chase us home after school
Until my nigga Skee got bit, yo, but that was cool
We took him to the crib, we laughin', growin' up
We drinkin' liquor on the stool while he throwin' up
We runnin' from school security, besides that the 102 cops
Yo, the man was my grandpops
He used to air me out
He never tried to even motherfuckin' hear me out
No punishment but here we out
We back at it again, me and my men
Yo, what was realest when us niggas [unverified]
And all we wanna know, does anybody fuckin' care?
And why this trouble follow me every fuckin' where?
I remember those days
You and I gettin' paid
Now we got it made, oh yeah
I remember, I remember
[Unverified]
Aiyo, we used to hot wire cars
Bragged about the scars we collected
Tryin' to escape from them older guys up at the bars
They never let us bang, let's act [unverified]
We knew they had a crew but yo, our crew was thick
Okay, now we graduated from junior high
We into badder bitches, caine, getting money yo, we livin' fly
We got the Jordan and ball, we got the weed and all
When Chris died yo we felt there was no need to fall
We seen it all from welfare lines
All them good and bad times
Back then I wish I had rhymes
I got my childhood name from my wild hood
Sling still, as though it was a good thing
I remember those days
You and I gettin' paid
Now we got it made, oh yeah
I remember, I remember
I remember those days
You and I gettin' paid
Now we got it made, oh yeah
I remember, I remember
I remember those days
You and I gettin' paid
Now we got it made, oh yeah
This is my song of remembrance to You
Memorial stone that pulled me through
It's where You met me
It's where You come
Where You told me not to run
And I, I remember
Stones of mercy, stones of grace
Stones of forgiveness, and stones of faith
It's where You met me with Your grace
And I saw You Lord
Face to face
Waking up from the shock, still dying from the night before
So mad I can't speak, but I keep coming back for more
Did you see me there (looking back at you), did you even care?
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
I thought that I was over it, but I remember (I remember)
I wanna shut it all out, I wish that this was all a dream (a distant memory)
I try so hard to forget but it keeps coming back to me (it's coming back to me)
I should leave I know (but I keep looking back) but I can't let go
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
I thought that I was over it, but I remember (I remember)
I should've known you'd take it all away, shoulda known you'd break my heart again
I should just forget it all but I remember
All the things you said to me, every lie that I believed
I can't erase the memory, I remember
Cut so deep I can't forget, loving you is my regret
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
Remember turning on the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
Remember how it was with you
Remember how it was with you
I remember
Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go
Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go
Remember turning on the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
As I turn, turn through the pages
Looking back on my life
Even though some have been faded
I still see you on every line
And yes, I know tomorrow
I may not be seeing your face
Until the end of forever
You'll stay with me
In my memories
And if we may not meet again
CHORUS:
I remember
All of those days in my life
I remember
You made me feel everything would be
alright
'Cause I remember the way, how you were
the one
Who could take me away with your smile
I remember,
Remember you
As I go on, on with this journey
You take the weight off my mind
Now I see with every turn
Ooh, just how special you are
And though it's taken a lifetime
To understand all you gave
I'm proud to be a part of you
And I believe
You've taken me
To a place only angels have been
CHORUS:
I remember
All of those times in my life
I remember the simple way that you could
always ease my mind
Yes, I remember the way you were the one
Who could touch me with only your smile
I remember,
I remember the time when I met you
We were so young and I was so unsure
Didn't even know the meaning of love
Although I felt something inside me
Bridge I
That's not the way how we planned it
And not the way it used to be
That's not the way how we wanted it
So we have to say goodbye
All these feelings I can't hide
I remember all those times, when we were so in love
Thought that it's forever and forever you are mine
I remember all those days when we were makin love
Nothing's been the same my baby, since you've been gone
I still dream about you
My heart still beats when I see you around
I know you've got someone beside you now
But if you need me I'm still there for you
Why do we have to say goodbye
Why do you put these tears in my eyes
Days feel like years when you're not around
It hurts me inside baby
Deep down inside me
Repeat hook 2x
Bridge II:
I am still hopin that there will come a time
I'll feel you and touch you, just kiss you
All through the night
All those summer nights
In the park drinkin' 40's
We were sitting by the fountain
Hanging out, sharing stories
Then the skins all came
So we'd all start fighting
Until the cops would roll up
And try to end the night, but...
What could they say?
What could they do?
We were just some kids
Running around with no rules
And I remember waiting
Drinking in the alley
Right next to the station
And I remember waiting
Driving around
I had no destination, with you
What can you do?
We were just kids when we headed down the hill
While everybody said we'd be dead or in jail
All those summer nights
Couldn't have been better
So I just said fuck it, man
We're gonna live forever
What could they say?
What could they do?
To bunch of kids
OOOhh yeah oh yeah
Oooh, remember
Oooohh i remember,and i wanna know
Where were you, when I said I loved you
And where were you, when I cried at night
Waiting up, couldn't sleep without you
Thinking of, all the times we shared
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up loving you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
I was sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I screamed I hated you
But somehow deep inside, still loving you, sad and
lonely
No one knew, all the pain I went through
All the love, I saved deep in my heart for you
Didn't know, where I would go, where I would be
But you made me leave, and plus my heart it just
It just kept telling me so
ooooooooooo
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up loving you
My heart couldn't take no more of you, I was sad and
lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I said I hated you
But somehow deep inside, still loving you, so sad and
lonely
There was nowhere else to go, oh
Nobody else, to turn to, no
For the rest of my life, I promise myself I
Will love me first, genuinely
I remember when my heart broke
I remember when I gave up loving you
My heart couldn't take no more of you
I was sad and lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I said I hated you
But somehow deep inside, still loving you, sad and
lonely
I remember when I walked out
I remember when I gave up loving you
My heart couldn't take no more of you, so sad and
lonely
I remember when I stormed out
I remember when I gave up loving you, I was sad and
I Remember (Lyrics)
Verse 1:
I remember from back in the day I always got bullied and beat,
The kid they used to pick on by slapping and jumping on my feet,
And, the girls around paid no attention to me all discreet,
But said look there’s that kid from school and laughed while walking down the street,
I tried my best forget the times because I know there hard,
But everything what happened then inside my mind is scarred,
I never had any real friends, coz at the time,
Was never good looking enough to socialise so I was bared,
Chorus:
Every time I go to sleep and every time I dream,
It feels like everyone is there but I cannot be seen,
Every time I’m feeling down and every time I cry,
I look into the sky and say god where have you been,
Every time I go to sleep and every time I dream,
It feels like everyone is there but I cannot be seen,
Every time I’m feeling down and every time I cry,
I look into the sky and say god where have you been.
Verse 2:
I remember when my mother made me join the scouts along with sunny,
For the first time I laughed because the joke at me was funny,
And at the end the tuck shop opened so I ran to mummy,
And mummy would say I’m sorry son but we have got no money,
Then mummy told me lets go home I got food on the table,
It’s your favourite rice along with beans and bread I know your grateful,
Don’t worry son one day we’ll buy a big TV with cable,
But for the time being I know were not financially stable,
Now it’s my birthday I invited everyone from school,
And on the day when no-one turned up I was left looking a fool,
I past the parcel to myself and mummy on the stool,
Who said don’t worry son inside my eyes you will always be cool,
My will to succeed is far more greater then my previous scars,
I’ll never give up because my mummy said I’ve come too far,
Now look I have the money the looks and drive a flash car,
I may not be one, but to my mummy I am still a star.
Chorus:
Every time I go to sleep and every time I dream,
It feels like everyone is there but I cannot be seen,
Every time I’m feeling down and every time I cry,
I look into the sky and say god where have you been,
Every time I go to sleep and every time I dream,
It feels like everyone is there but I cannot be seen,
Every time I’m feeling down and every time I cry,
I look into the sky and say god where have you been.
Verse 3:
I remember the first time when writing lyrics was a hobby,
At the time was naughty and aggressive I got into trouble,
I started fights and people on the street would even rob me,
Coz I thought I turned into a man because I grew some stubble,
I even done graffiti everywhere I could imagine,
Even thou I never got caught my punishments would double,
I met a group of people who got me engaged in fashion,
Drifting away and it was my mummy who burst my bubble,
She told me listen son I see you growing everyday,
But now your out of line and moving from me further away,
My job in life is to look after you and so I pray,
Strikey look at me I’m talking to you what did I just say,
I’m sorry mum but I now realise where I belong,
I never meant to hurt you now I realise that I was wrong,
Ill keep at education even thou I know its long,
I love you mum, and on that point I started writing this song.
Chorus x2:
Every time I go to sleep and every time I dream,
It feels like everyone is there but I cannot be seen,
Every time I’m feeling down and every time I cry,
I look into the sky and say god where have you been,
Every time I go to sleep and every time I dream,
It feels like everyone is there but I cannot be seen,
Every time I’m feeling down and every time I cry,
Your life has turned for the worst, the worst is yet to come
The substance in your pipe designed to make you numb
You're going down in flames, oh yes, it's too late to change
Now I feel the rage
I remember when we used to laugh but time has spoiled
Our craft so now I stay away
Why the question that is always asked, I won't be coming back
We'll go our separate ways
I've seen you crack a smile, ain't so hateful after all
Turn back the hands of time to life when you were riding high
I think I understand, can't be involved in this plan.
So now I clean my hands
I remember when we used to laugh but time has spoiled
Our craft so now I stay away
Why the question that is always asked, I won't be coming back
We'll go our separate ways
I watched your personality steer wrong off from reality
Can't get high enough to destroy all possibility
Do u know that I'm ok
Are there things you wanna say
Thinking of u night and day
Hopping you'll come back and stay
I remember when u told me
I'll be all right
Don't worry
I try and try to understand
Is all this just a sad goodbye
Thinking of u night and day
No matter if you'll come and stay
I remember when u told me
I'll be all right
Just hold me
I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
Missing u make me cry
Your love will give me strengths to carry on
You'll always be my heart and mind
So I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
I know it's just a miss match in time... why... oh why...
Miss match in time
I try and try to understand
Is all this just a sad goodbye
Thinking of u night and day
No matter if you'll come and stay
I remember when u told me
I'll be all right
Just hold me
So I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
Missing u make me cry
Your love will give me strengths to carry on
You'll always be my heart and mind
So I don't wanna close my eyes tonight
I know it's just a miss match in time... why... oh why...
[Verse 1:]
We were good, so good
Disagreements?, is always gonna long
There nothing's always gonna break us
We were too strong to let anything come between us,
It's a shame how things aren't the same now
[Hook:]
And I remember when we used to laugh
When we used to talk forever
And no one would raise their voice
Girl I remember, when we used to say
That we couldn't stay mad at each other
But what happened girl
[Chorus:]
Then we started fighting
Don't even remember how it started girl
We had something little escalated
And now we are making something out of nothing
Always making something out of nothing
Always making something out of nothing
Always making something out of nothing
[Verse 2:]
And now we spent so much time
And we've given this too much work
But what I realize
Is that it shouldn't be this hard
Always apologize, apologize and say we won't fight anymore
But that's just the same song
And I remember when we used to laugh
When we used to talk forever
And no one would raise their voice
Girl I remember, when we used to say
That we couldn't stay mad at each other
But what happened girl
Then we started fighting
Don't even remember how it started girl
We had something little escalated
And now we are making something out of nothing
Always making something out of nothing
Always making something out of nothing
I remember, I can't forget That summer love, hot and deep Remember, my whole body remembers That melody The last sunset that we saw Even now it lights a fire in my chest Over your shoulders, the summer disappears It seemed as if the two of us were burning up Baby, baby, I was so bold Baby, baby, there was nothing I didn't show him It was strange, I became meek I remember, I can't return His gentle arms, kiss, lies Remember, it played through my whole body That rhythm
Even now, I can hear it It sounds so bittersweet, the whisper of the ocean My tan is fading Will it just become a memory? Baby, baby, with sad courage Baby, baby, I must move on to tomorrow Until the dawn I remember since I met you I've changed My talk, my interests Remember, it soaked into my whole body That melody
Yeeeaaaaaahhhh...
Verse 1:
I remember sitting alone on a sandy beach Little bit of the rising tide, come upon my feet Trying to find comfort in all my thoughts of you But I can't seem to understand what I'm supposed to do
Chorus:
You said to me I'll never be the man that you know is inside of me and girl i hope you know wherever you may go this little dreamer loves you so yeah I remember, I remember yeah I remember
Verse 2:
As I watch the sunset near the edge of the sea (near the edge of the sea) I listen to the birds sing that special melody (special melody) Whatever you do, whatever goals you reach Remember that I sit alone on a sandy beach
Chorus Instrumental
Verse 3:
So I get so high from the long days ahead My puppy at my side alone in my empty bed And maybe those brown eyes that haunt in my dreams Dance to a happy beat, but it's just not what it seems
I remember everyone you know
It's eerie oh oh oh
I won't forget you, I know I never will
Never oh oh oh
I remember everyone you know
I remember you
I remember everyone you know
I remember oh oh oh
I remember oh oh oh
I remember you
I have seen you standing on your feet
By me oh oh oh
You have seen me when I couldn't eat
By you oh oh oh
I remember everyone you know
I remember you
I remember everyone you know
I remember oh oh oh
I remember oh oh oh
I remember you
You passed along to show off, why?
Because you, you passed along to show us
Show us why
There's a glass of whiskey on the floor
There it is oh oh
Now let's argue, oh wait, by the way
Let's just have one more
I remember everyone you know
I remember you
I remember everyone you know
I remember oh oh oh
I remember oh oh oh
[Pony Boy]
I remember
Do you remember?
Homeboy showing love do you remember? [x4]
[Pony Boy]
Cause I remember growing up in shorties
Buck wild drinking up a lot of forties
Oldies make E's in the sky
Why I rose made dog we use to ride
Kitchens cool in the woods by the tracks
We use to gather up our homies in backs
Talking shit all the time getting drunk
Lying about bony bitches getting grunk
Young dumb full of cum
Never gave a fuck unless we're getting some
Getting our dicks wet you can bet
Always holding up our fucking set (that's right)
Pick a fight, every night, smoking bud drinking bud out of sight
(Pile of gold) got me in a daze
smoking up the best cause you know I'm getting blaze
[Chorus: Pony Boy]
I remember you Oooo
Homie thought you know (though you knew)
I remember you Oooo (Homie thought chu knew)
[Vibe Metal]
Yo I remember life in the hoods Chicago 18 Street
Just trying to make ends meet
And struggling just to eat (Butchu know)
School of hard knocks running the blocks
Riding the train and playing bull in empty lots
And it don't stop family was all that we had
Sticking together through whatever
when times were good or bad and I'm glad
We made it this far ... Ghetto superstar
Do you remember when niggaz they had no car?
Me and my cousin's young bucks riding bikes
Spending the nights talking about girls that we like
Fist fights city lights trying to keep my mind right
Sunday church with the family to keep the ears tight (Aight)
No diamonds no blingers just dreams of rapping
Singing bringing the money back to the hood and doing good
The hard times and the hopes and dreams
About the dollars we would grew up to be
[Chorus]
[Pony Boy]
Do you remember? (Sssss Ah)
Smoking out in September
Fumando Marijuana esta la mañana
swena la canpana
Asi me gusta para fumar
Real yescas vamous a buscar
La cucaracha no quiere camenar
Porque le falte Marijuana para fumar
Those were the good old days when we got blaze
Going to jams every weekend token up jays
I reminisce I reminisce all those times that I miss
My very first joint and my first kiss from a bitch
No regrets I feel no shame
Take me back right down memory lane
(Yo hold up hold up I think I know this cat from high school.
Yo pony boy it's Vibe Metal do you remember me?
What up though Vibe Metal... they start to chatter)
[Pony boy & Vibe Metal]
I remember you Ooooooooo (I remember you who who who
Homie thought you know (though-chu knew though-chu knew)
I remember you Ooooooooo (I remember you who who who)
Yes I do, Homie I thought-chu knew
VERSE 1: A through went through my head, rejection and worry I was afraid you'd turn away A through went through my head, You're done with your mercy I was afraid you'd turn away
CHORUS: I remember the day you called my name, You said I was Your child I remember the day you wrote the words, You wrote the book of Love I remember your deeds, oh Dad, my God, I think I'll trust in You
VERSE 2: A through went through my head, You were crazy in love I was amazed it was me A through went through my head, You were head over heels I was amazed it was me
