Remember

Yeah, I like that, keep playing
Back in the day when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again
Remember that?

Do you remember? Do you remember?
How it used to be back in the day?
Do you remember? Oh, do you remember?
Being kids just having fun
All the memories I'll never forget

Not old enough to be drinking, not old enough to be smoking
I wanted to make a living of rapping since I was young
And doors locked, had to figure a way I could make 'em open
Thinking dreams come true if I only put it in motion
Long time coming, but I'm finally here
And now I'm tryna be the man of the year
The fresh prince of my city and my mom always told me to get a job
But instead I gave it a hundred percent, and I didn't stop
Now I'm sitting at the top of the world spending my money
Reminiscing 'bout the days it wasn't always this sunny
It's like I made a transition into a man
But I couldn't do it without support and love from my fam
Understand, no offense, they never thought it would happen
Had to face the man in the mirror like I was Michael Jackson
I made a change, now I'm flying like I'm the captain
A lot of dedication and I ain't been looking back since

Do you remember? Do you remember?
How it used to be back in the day?
Do you remember? Oh, do you remember?
Being kids just having fun
All the memories I'll never forget

Thought it was over, it was just the beginning of something new
Did the opposite of what all of the teachers told me to do
Like study a little harder, the things you could've accomplished
School was never a problem, man, they already knew
The other kids taking notes and I was writing my rhymes
I was tryna impress the girls when it's lunch time
They thinking I'm all cute, I'm saying they all fine
And it's funny cause they used to be paying me no mind, yeah
I remember that, and I remember I swear
If I ever get a chance I'ma make it last
If I could change the past, I wouldn't do it though
I'm still the same young boy that you used to know
Well, maybe a little older I guess
Done things I ain't proud to confess, but at the end of the day
I learned from my mistakes and I chose a better way
Doing what I love on a day to day and I'm getting paid

Do you remember? Do you remember?
How it used to be back in the day?
Do you remember? Oh, do you remember?
Being kids just having fun
All the memories I'll never forget

I remember way back when
Young boy, big dreams, let the story begin, now come on
I remember way back when
Young boy, big dreams, let the story begin
I remember way back when
Young boy, big dreams, let the story begin
