Remember This Songtext

von KnowMads

I never planned to live a century
Because every human dies eventually
I just want you to remember me and carry on
Doing your part to make the world a better place for us
Job cuts cut family like paper cuts
Times is hard to catch the bus why won't they wait for us
Angels ain't here and anger turns to athiest
As a kid I had a different take on angel dust
I thought those angels would be saving us
But so it goes
Nothings sicker then an angel dusted bloody nose
I use to think that I was dirty wearing muddy clothes
But realized that ain't as dirty as these fucking ho's
Male and female both get exposed
The way that most humans choose to live is pretty gross
More people on the streets the more the cities grow
We're evolving but we're less of induviduals
We treat our animals the same as all the criminals
I mean we treat our criminals like they were animals
That type of punishment seems rather damaging
It doens't work for us but we just say we're managing
In the business side everything is vanity
Suporting one, to harm another ain't humanity
I think that's selfishness the cause of most insanity
I hope one day I'm man enough to raise my family
Instead of acting like lil' wayne and kanye
I think ya good but you're leading people the wrong way
It ain't all about yourself is what my mom would say
It's about making a difference on the long way
Honestly my favourite mc is Andre
I use to listen to Aquemini like all day
Think about the words and everything it taught to me
Buying a classic album use to mean a lot me
But now I download a lot of mediocrity
I plan to stand like a mondern day socrates
At the grammies being thanked my philosophies
I appreciate how mc's would talk to me
Through their music, well i guess that's how I thought you see
There ain't pyramid with one man at the top to me
Cause no one could really run this world properly
Play your position like a we're on the same soccer team
And always place hip hop above hypocrisy

So I'm calling up Jay, like what you got for me?
Cuz no I ain't a cop, but I could rock a beat
Out my headphones for miles down memory lane
See me smile cuz ya'll remember the name
From a child to a man, from the embers to flame
You get my life in your hand boy you picking my brain
A flash of the past at memorial stadium
Im breaking away from the norm that was caked to my cranium
Forget those platinum chain and how you been obtaining them,
I'm tryna earn plaques, made of paladium
Until the day im just a part of the dirt,
I'll just sing at the heavens leaving my mark on the earth (and im out)
And after everything fades into dust, i keep my faith in the people i trust
Tell them remember this
I hope you never forgot about the steps to the top
And all the blessings you got,
Always remember this
Without money we still hella rich, if they market our intelligence
Tell the kids remember this
All i needed was a blunt and a mic
Now ask my family what i done with my life
Always remember this
