I Remember

[Intro]
Oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ayy, ayy, ayy, yeah
Ayy, yeah, yeah, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause I remember everything
Don't say I been trippin', nigga how could I for-
I remember everything
Yeah
Say I remember everything
I remember, I remember, I remember, ayy

[Chorus]
I remember stressin', prayin'
Hopin', waitin' for my bad days to go away
This life they never thought I would see
I remember ridin' dirty with my motherfuckin' gas gauge was broke
Ain't even know that bitch was ridin' on E
I remember droppin' out of college, watchin' all my classmates
On God, I'm sorry, mama I ain't got my degree
I remember stressin' out about it, thought it, then the cash came
And now I'm still exactly who I thought I would be
And I remember everything

[Post-Chorus: Deante' Hitchcock, Deep Deante' Hitchcock]
Really, swear to God this won't be long
Fuck the run, I had to get it on my own
I remember everything
Really, I did try to right my wrongs
Fuck the run, I had to get it on my own
So if I say that I done get it, nigga how could I forget it?
I remember everything
Really, swear to God it won't be long
Fuck the run, I had to get it on my own
I remember everything
I remember, I remember, I remember, ayy

[Verse]
Turned all my lessons into all my blessings
No more stressin', no more drama, bitch I feel like Mary J
God told me no weapon formed against could ever lessen what I got
I'm seein' double, word to Ash and Mary-Kate
Through our past transgressions, all my dawgs still reckless
Niggas out here livin' crooked, just to make sure we was straight
I empty my checkers, wouldn't ask no questions
'Cause I love 'em, they my brothers, man I know they can relate
I remember shows in Texas, back when the venue name was long as my setlist
Shit was killin' me, I just couldn't express
Grateful for what they gave me, but in my heart of hearts, I just couldn't accept
That I done feel every type of feeling but death
Remember back when my bank account was so empty, I was too scared to check it
And now I'm checkin' every check on my checklist
Benjamin Frank or Aretha, don't really care, just know you gotta respect
That this ain't no accident, I been movin' reckless
Walter Payton, Barry Sands, how I ran through my bands
Just to put my fam up and have my pockets in the low
Doin' shows across the country, makin' next to fuckin' nothin'
Still payin' everybody ridin' with me on the road
Weighin' heavy on my mental
Makin' sure we clean the rental
Incidental's just another thing a nigga can't afford
Bank account been overdraft
The shawty knew that I ain't have it, I ain't ask her but she had me
So I got it at some show
And what you know 'bout them late nights in the studio
A from 8 to 8 life, fuck it we really finna be great
Man I ain't been to my barber in like two months but I been tryna get this tape right, lookin' like "What the fuck is a break?"
I swear these niggas been steppin' on me so long that I lit up like a brake light
Flip the script just like the omelettes at Lakeside
'Fore they fired me, man
A message to those that these songs end up reachin', the second you find out your worth then increase it

[Chorus]
I remember stressin', prayin'
Hopin', waitin' for my bad days to go away
This life they never thought I would see
I remember ridin' dirty with my motherfuckin' gas gauge was broke Ain't even know that bitch was ridin' on E
I remember droppin' out of college, watchin' all my classmates
On God, I'm sorry, mama I ain't got my degree
I remember stressin' out about it, thought it, then the cash came
And now I'm still exactly who I thought I would be
And I remember everything

[Post-Chorus: Deante' Hitchcock, Deep Deante' Hitchcock]
Really swear to God, it won't be long
Fuck the run, I had to get it on my own
I remember everything
Really, I did try to right my wrongs
Fuck the run, I had to get it on my own
So if I say that I done get it, nigga how could I forget it?
I remember everything
Really swear to God, it won't be long
Fuck the run, I had to get it on my own
I remember everything
I remember, I remember, I remember, yeah

[Outro]
Oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ayy, ayy, ayy, yeah
Ayy, yeah, yeah, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
