Remember to Remember - SHAD, Lights

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

Damn 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 that hard to be him

I just lose him in the P.M., thinking if I had a B. M

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

Uh, human beings

Deep inside we decide if we free men

Remember to remember

Remember to remember

Just remember to remember

Remember to remember

You may have to forgive him forever

Everyday they say 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 talking to pops

He said «There's lots that you’ve learned but a lot you forgot

More often than not you don’t got to be taught

Just remember to remember how you got to the spot that’s hot»

I’m happy and healthy and dreaming and dying

I’m loving and lonely and tired of trying

I’m fall and faded and failing with flying

Colours 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

Seeing the stars and aiming higher

[Hook 2: Shad &

Remember to remember

Remember to remember

Remember to remember

Remember to remember

Yeah

Remember to remember

Break it down like this…

Now I ain’t ever really been one for image

Ain’t trying to fool the public with some stunts and gimmicks

Guys gravitate to blunts and Guinness to get the courage to fight the urge

In 'em, 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 fear and pride for the love within us

Remember

Remember to remember

Remember to remember

Remember to remember

Remember to Remember

Remember to Remember

Remember to Remember

Remember to Remember

Break it down, 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 Wilks in the booth, but tyrants aren’t tyrants in the group

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
