Reflections (I Remember)

I remember I remember I remember I remember

I remember I remember I remember I remember

I remember I remember

I remember

Back for the record deal and the cars and the cribs

And the way that things took off

I was singing at lucy's on one twenty fifth

Just trying my best to get on back

When me and puff and big was kids

And I knew jodeci

I was young and tough and fresh and loving

It was all a dream signing the contract

No guiding light just hoping I

I can get out the projects

And get my family right cause they bore my life

At a red zone oh at a bentleys oh

You can catch me oh trying to do me

I was jaded on the block

I be faded on the block

But I made it off the block and I

I remember back when I didn't know which way to live

I remember back when pain was all I had to give

The reflections of my life

I see the lessons that I've learned

And now I know heartbreak don't exist

When it's been torn apart by love

I used to throw a fit

I used to shut it down and blame it on a man

But that was mary then

And this is mary now you gotta understand

It's about how we respect ourselves

And the men have no control of our self esteem

And when we see that thing we can't

Let go oh I remember

Back when I didn't know which way to live

I remember back when pain was all I had to give

The reflections of my life

I see the lessons that I've learned

And now I know heartbreak don't exist

When it's been torn apart by love

Now I've made some mistakes

I lost some friends along the way

But I don't carry it

Because it's made me a better chick

It's my life and I know

That there's more for me to more

I may not be what I'm supposed to

But I can tell right now I ain't what I used to be

I remember

I remember when I didn't know which way to live

I remember I remember when pain was all I had to give

The reflections of my life

I see the lessons that I've learned

And now I know heartbreak don't exist

When it's been torn apart by love

I remember I remember

I remember when I remember

I remember I remember

The reflections of my life

I see the lessons that I've learned

And now I know heartbreak don't exist

When it's been torn apart by love

I remember but love don't exist no more

I remember but I remember

I remember I remember

I remember I remember

I remember I remember

I remember
