I Remember Lyrics

All I know is struggle pain

That shit really made me change

I don't look at things the same

All I know is struggle pain

That shit really made me change

I don't look at things the same

I remember

I remember

When they tried to tempt us

And got mad when we tensed up

I remember

I remember

Them cold Winters

When we ain't have no dinner

I remember man I ain't forget

Bonzie lost his life and niggas was scared to tell me shit

Prayed that it wasn't legit

Something sick (That'll be over quick)

Went to school and I couldn't speak

I was meek

I felt weak

For weeks

Over some shit that I couldn't believe

Could ever happen to me

(Fuck trying to grieve, bitch I wanted to leave)

Then I lost both my grandmothers

In the same year

How could I build a relationship without having u here?

(I tried not to shed a tear)

Then my little sister died

That shit killed me inside

That shit really changed the tide

I wanted to cry

I wanted to die

I wanted get strapped and give him a fight

All I know is struggle pain

That shit really made me change

I don't look at things the same

All I know is struggle pain

That shit really made me change

I don't look at things the same

I remember

I remember

When they tried to tempt us

And got mad when we tensed up

I remember

I remember

Them cold Winters

When we ain't have no dinner

I was in school

When Trayvon martin died

Teacher told me not to talk about it

Pull me to the side

Told me its our fault we dying

(What type of shit is that?)

No bitch you try to disguise it

Despise with violence

Now I'm deciding

Whether I'm misguided

On who I should be fighting

Fighting violence with silence

That's how I describe it

Police kick the door in

No warning or warrant

Or reason to make the decision

Policed hated to listen

So we fated as victims

Said he fit the description

Shoulda known

Straight through my home

I was 13

AR 15s pointed right at me

I was scared to speak

Fuck you know about paying them dues

Fuck you know about gripping them tools

Fuck you know about niggas aiming at ya manz

Said they looking for you

Getting called racist

Getting kicked out of school

For having differing views

This life I didn't choose

And I wish I knew

I tried to take it away

My mother wanted me taken away

For being insane

So I locked away my inner decay

So that I could stay

And what's displayed is the remains

When I attained the reigns

I tried to kill me

Before you tried to kill me

But I'm still me

And I'll still be

AT
