I Remember Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Chorus]
I remember when I was young
Watchin' the risin' sun
Wishin' that I was someone else
I remember when the nights were long
Singin' my mama's songs
Pickin' the pieces off the ground, mm
[Verse]
Pack a lunch of tuna sandwhich in a brown paper bag
Shop at Ross to cut the cost before the first day of class
Anything to save a dollar, dollar
Yeah, I got it from my mama, mama
Ain't nobody lookin' like me when I walked into math
Half the teachers treatin' me different, made me hate bein' Black
Feelings I ain't even acknowledge, acknowledge
'Til I finally got to college, college
And I was only age twelve when my first friend had died
Jumpin' off the same bridge we'd later cross drunken drivin'
Through the fog or even pourin', pourin'
Anything to escape the boredom
[Chorus]
I remember when I was young
Watchin' the risin' sun
Wishin' that I was someone else
I remember when the nights were long
Singin' my mama's songs
Pickin' the pieces off the ground
[Post-Chorus]
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Traded the monsters in my closet
For childish dreams and hopeless nonsense
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Dealin' with issues I've been dodgin'
Just give me some time, I'll shake 'em off me
[Outro]
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Traded the monsters in my closet
For childish dreams and hopeless nonsense
Do you believe me now?
Do you believe me now?
Dealin' with issues I've been dodgin'
Just give me some time, I'll shake 'em off me, mm
