P-Money - Remember? lyrics

[Chorus]

Try to remember when life was slow

Try to remember when you were young

Try to remember when life was slow

Try to remember when you were young

[Scribe]

You used to be my man, we ran the streets, had a plan to make two-fifty grand

Start a rap band, rock the land from here to Japan

I used my knowledge to expand my thoughts

Caught you trying to sabotage

Betrayed me with a kiss, you used to smile as camouflage

We used to spar in your garage when we was little

Now I write riddles and string together rhythm like fiddles

Like skittle sticks, I picked you up, she was thick in the middle

Betrayal ain't new to me

In fact it's the only thing that's true to me

I'm soon to be gone, since I grew to be strong

What you're doing is wrong, and so long as the mic's in my palm

Going out like Genghis Khan in this track

Taking it right back to the essence, count my friends as blessings

It didn't take me long to write this song, I learned a lesson

Dressing mics like a phenomenom, hanging like gardens to a Babylon

But you need the power to keep moving on

I'm-a lift you upon my shoulders, and in the end forgive you

Watch who you trust, 'cos your friends could be your enemies

They just pretend to be to hide their true identity

Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be

But love is gone, once erased from the memory

[Chorus]

[Scribe]

Yo, yo ... she was like the warmth of the sun

Didn't think it could be done, she led me to believe she was the one

Who'd love me to the end, a friend I could depend on

Life got complicated, I knew it from the start

She'd be the one who broke my heart

My life it fell apart, emptiness took her place

But it was the taste of hate, that made me recognise her face

Love was gone, without a trace of ever being felt

It wasn't love that helped me when I was down and out

I couldn't cope, my only hope was rope around my neck

The only way to escape the things you can't forget

A lesson learned, don't give your love away unearned

'Cos time turns, and hearts burn, can never be returned ..

... to sender, When I think about the bitch I can remember

Times that I reached out for her Summer and December

Defend her and represent her to the end

But had to make a promise to my heart that I could never love again

Watch who you trust, 'cos your friends could be your enemies

They just pretend to be to hide their true identity

Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be

But love is gone, once erased from the memory

[Chorus]

[Scribe]

I was a kid and I was full of life, I didn't know

Things like hate, didn't even have a chance to grow

My parents didn't know 'cos there's no way that I could tell

Them that their angel secretly lived in a private hell

Yo, I could smell the alcohol upon his rotten breath

I prayed for death as he laid his hands upon my breasts

I cried and screamed and said 'You're not allowed to do these things'

But he was mean, he told me if I told he'd break my spleen

I was a queen but subjected to being disrespected

I was infected with this hate without an antiseptic

And disgusted with this man with whom my Dad had trusted

I tried to fight it, yo but in the end I had to hide it

Deep in my soul, What part of 'no' didn't he understand

'N' or the 'O', or was it simply 'cos he was a man

I could have ran and escaped to a foreign land

But I stayed, and today it makes me who I am

Watch who you trust, 'cos your friends could be your enemies

They just pretend to be to hide their true identity

Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be

But love is gone, once erased from the memory

[Chorus]
