Just Remember Now - Fashawn

I remember back in the days when I was young

I always wanted tattoo tears just for fun

I didn’t have a gun

Cause Mike Reynolds taught us three strikes and you’re done

on the run

Then I heard «One Love,» and what I’m thinking next is:

What a brother got to do to make it out the 'jects?

No more picked pockets, no more Zip-Locs

And innocent girls putting ends in the pimp’s pocket

No more battle scars, I’m thinking caviar

You know ribeyes, wave her bye-bye

To rocking Dada, dipped in Prada, twisting la-la

I want the whole enchilada, if not, nada

In need of a lot-a inspiration for dreams I’ve been chasin'

Somebody say, «Amen» (Amen)

Waiting for the day when, one day it’ll make sense

So just remember now

(It'll all be over)

So just remember now

(It'll all be over)

So just remember now

(It'll all be over)

So just remember now

(It'll all be over)

Back in the days, I let my pants sag

JanSport bag and a .44 mag

XXL used to be my favorite mag

Used to use the word 'fresh' way before 'swag'

I seen Money Boss pull up in his new Jag

Shaq in his E-Class taught me about street cash

Belly had me rocking bow ties, playing both sides

Pushing bean pies, living la vida loca

I couldn’t take it anymore, long nights, cold weeks

No heat, hand-me-downs, torn sneaks

Take a break from the routine

Try and see where you’ve been, where you’re at

And right where you need to be

Instead y’all CB4, y’all got low cash

Limousine, Rolls-Royce as I rose past

From Shields Ave. to Rosecrans

Where gun control means to use both hands

Just waking in up in the morning, gotta thank God

I’m not the reason that your momma got her bank robbed

If I wasn’t rhyming, probably be smuggling diamonds

Or juggling jobs for pay, hustling chronic

But I would make the decision to make it out

Took the road less traveled, yeah, my favorite route

Prepared for the worst, and hope for the best

I let my tires taste the road to success

Memories of the projects, bopping to an older cassette

Fantasizing about unloading a Tec

I had a lot of rage bottled in at a young age

I smoked haze, swallowed gin, jot on a page

Til' Planet As' sat me down, so did Aren, yes

They was preparing the prince, it was apparent

That my struggles would only be temporary

No need to sit and worry, I felt rich already
