i remember lyrics – rod wave

it was trials and tribulations
on the road to chasing that paper
seen so many faces
been so many places
caught some cases
crazy thing is
out of all life done taught me
before you get one win
you gotta take a thousand losses

i remember, n***a
how would i ever forget?
(straight up, you know me)
how could i ever forget?
i remember, oh i remember
how could i ever forget?
how would i ever forget?

i remember everything
the shine and the struggle
i remember all the pain
all the grind and the hustle
i remember elementary
when pops would come and get me
and take me to the neighborhood
with veneria and whitney

then pops had went to prison
i remember every letter
i remember bitches playing with my heart
‘cuz i would let ‘em
i remember what’s his name told me
bro let’s stick together”
but we couldn’t stick together
‘cuz n****s change just like the weather

i still remember the first night
when i met mr. raymond
i was on the block with glocks
but uncle dereck came to save me
remember back in middle school
when i met derek bailey
and he taught me how to stack that weed
stack that cheese and save it

but i still fucked it up
i remember tryna shake back
me and sir kendrick in the kitchen
cooking fake crack
i remember my first show
i remember who booked me
i remember all you opps from middle school
them n****s was pussy

i remember my first stolen car
i was with lechaz
i just jumped up off the porch
but lil bruh was moving fast
i remember when i first met corinne
we was coolin
a year later we was breaking into houses
shooting movies

if we catch a n***a late night
no pipe, it’s a wrap
we make lil whats his name
jump off his bike
and that’s a fact
remember when i first caught
a buzz with my raps
money came and n*****s
changed and stabbed me in my back

remember when i first confessed
my love and i cried
asked you about that other
fuck n***a in your life
don’t know but could
i stand to see the truth in your eyes
so i went somewhere else to find love
and you know why

remember sitting in my cell
blaming the streets
mama came to see me said
the blame is on me
remember ___ died
the city cried for a week
i remember when you n****s
testified on the seat

it was trials
and tribulations on the road
to chasing that paper
seen so many faces
been so many places
caught some cases
crazy thing is
out of all life done taught me
before you get one win
you gotta take a thousand losses

i remember, n***a
how would i ever forget?
(straight up, you know me)
how could i ever forget?
i remember, oh i remember
how could i ever forget?
how would i ever forget?
