Remember We

Uh, huh, uh, huh, seen, original
Yeah, what am I talking about?

Now I say day after day
We never have a thing and used to move on our way
But now we make our flakes and I try fi get pay
A my name dem a call, say the youth gonna stray

But remember we, when we never have no money
Remember we, when we never have no CD
Remember we, when we never have no party
Remember we, when we used to live a country
Remember we, when we never have no money
Remember we, when we never have no CD
Remember we, when we never have no party
Remember we, when we used to live a country

As my thoughts manifest, brain cells plus lyrics react
I think about the days when there was no contract
I used to hop the train because I had no dough
Playing beats on the chairs and ideas began to flow
Mama said there'd be days like this
When the Babyface K-oss could get paid for the lyrics
But anyway, umm, by the time I was a toddler
A kid that understood he wasn't wanted by his father
Staring out my window, broke like Mr. Wendal
And nobody knows the trouble that I went through
To get here, but where is here in this case
No friends, no foes, just people smiling in your face
But, uh, mama said life's a double-headed knife
If you get stabbed you get stabbed
Either you paid or you paid a price
Some people listen when I start to flow
But I'm that same Babyface from a while ago
So yo, remember we, remember this, remember us, son
Paid in the shade, but like Jack you get nickel, son
Thanks to those that's down to support us
Whitey, bust the track (Oh yeah), bring back the chorus

Remember we, when we never have no money
Remember we, when we never have no CD
Remember we, when we never have no party
Remember we, when we used to live a country
Remember we, when we never have no money
Remember we, when we never have no CD
Remember we, when we never have no party
Remember we, when we used to live a country

Do you remember how it was when we were not what we are
Now that we've become what we became and you didn't know the name
I never really was all of that
But nowadays, my man, if you're fat, you're fat
Most thought that I was corny, calling me a wack-ass
But now who's the jackass, kissing my black ass
Girls never kissed me, always tried to diss me
But now it's like if the whole world is hanging with me
Is it because I never ever
Sever my connection with my personal reflection
I simply started rapping and look at what is happening
Every time I come around, people start clapping and
I don't understand what is the reason for the treasonal behavior
Save the bullshit for later, it seems you have forgotten
That the original being that you're seeing was not always emceeing
I used to get rejected, neglected and ejected
Disrespected, treated like I was infected
Now everybody seems to think that here is where it's at
But you were saying I would never be fat, remember that

Remember we, when we never have no money
Remember we, when we never have no CD
Remember we, when we never have no party
Remember we, when we used to live a country
Remember we, when we never have no money
Remember we, when we never have no CD
Remember we, when we never have no party
Remember we, when we used to live a country

I say 'member when we never have a thing
I say 'member is when the Whitey ah sing
I say 'member when we never have a thing
Do you remember the song where the ghetto people sing?

Remember we, when we never have no money
Remember we, when we never have no CD
Remember we, when we never have no party
Remember we, when we used to live a country

Blue butterfly, flying through my mind daily
Walking down the street and I seen this blue butterfly-y-y
Yeah, it was a blue
I just said it was blue man
