Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I forget so often, God, no wonder I feel lost

When I forget where I came from or how I got past

Now we ain't young, can't play dumb

The fun and games is done, man, it's a strange one

Reverend, what you say? Run, Walk This Way

By the light of the same sun that's in the sky where the rain's from

But the clouds make it hard to see him

He's in my brother, I discovered that it's not so hard to be him

I just lose him in the PM, thinkin' if I'd have to beat him

I could hang with Mona Lisa like a piece in a museum

Uh, human beings deep inside, we decide if we free men

[Verse 2]

Remember to remember (In me now)

Remember to remember (I need it now)

Just remember to remember (In me now)

Remember to remember (I see you now)

[Verse 3]

You may have to forgive him forever

Everyday, they say that life can make you bitter or better

I say, hey, sacred or not, it's all that we got

Love is what it is, or maybe not what you thought

Woke up one morning, started talkin' to Pops

He said, there's lots you learn, but a lot you forgot

More often than not, then you don't gotta be taught

Just remember to remember how you got to the spot that's hot

I'm happy and healthy and dreamin' and dyin'

I'm lovely, lonely, and tired of tryin'

I'm fall and faded and failin' with flyin'

Colors fumbling forward, facing sky

My aim's to entertain and inspire

Walk through the rain and the fire

Pay bills, keep sane, and retire

From the game with a name that's admired

Just seeing the stars and aiming higher

[Verse 4]

Remember to remember (In me now)

Remember to remember (I feel it now)

Remember to remember (In me now)

Remember to remember (I need it now)

Remember to remember (In me now)

Yeah (I feel it now)

Remember to remember (In me now)

Yeah (I need it now) break it down like this (I need it now)

[Verse 5]

Now I ain't ever really been one for image

And tryna fool the public with some stunts and gimmicks

Guys gravitate to blunts and Guinness

To get the courage to fight the urge

And I'm not to succumb to timidness

And this world is fully overrun with mimics

With a penchant for overexposing guns and women

Few deals, funds is limited, folks front to get in the game

That ain't kind, everyone's a critic

But this ain't a race to win, it's a run to finish

And as long as I got breath in my lungs to end it

The enemy isn't the flesh and blood, thugs and cynics

We fighting the fear and pride for the love within us

[Verse 6]

Remember (In me now)

Remember to remember (I see you now)

Remember to remember (In me now)

Remember to remember (I feel it now)

Remember to remember (I feel it now)

Remember to remember (I feel it now)

Remember to remember (I feel it now)

Remember to remember

[Verse 7]

(In me now)

(I see you now)

(In me now)

(I feel it now)

(I feel it now)

(I feel it now)

(I feel it now)

Break it down

[Verse 8]

The poor struggle with needs

The rich struggle with greed

This camel struggle to squeeze through the eye of a needle

Some eyes struggle to see

But we all struggle for freedom instead of freeing each other

By letting ourselves be

Yeah, and it never ends, we only feel better

When we feel like we're better than

Clever men and our violence

Silence is when we shoot from the lip

Too quiet, then we talk non-violence

And stay silent when it suits

Really, it's all violence at the root

The same James Wilkes in the booth

But tyrants aren't tyrants in the groups

Who started the shooting? Who knows?

We were all just born inside of this truth

Taught to shoot as youth

Taught as just humans being human

But the truth is the truth is bulletproof

Remember to remember
