REFLECTIONS(I REMEMBER)

I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember Back before the record deal and the cars And the cribs and the way that things took off I was singing at Lucy's on 125th 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 loved and it was all a dream Signing the contract No guideline or, just hoping I I can get out the projects And give my family right cuz They brought me life And I wrestle, outta Bentley's You can catch me, trynna do me I was jaded (on the block) I'd 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 feel I remember Back when cane was all I had to give In 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 that men have no control Of our self-esteem and when we see that thing we can't let go I remember Back when I didn't know which way to feel I remember Back when cane was all I had to give In 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 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 God know that there's more for me to see (So much more) I made out to be what I'm supposed to But I can tell you right now I ain't what I used to be (I remember) I remember Back when I didn't know which way to feel (I remember) I remember Back when cane was all I had to give In 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 (I remember) I remember I remember In reflections of my life I see the lessons that I've learned That's why I know Heartbreak don't exist when it's been torn apart by love (I remember) By love... It don't exist no more (I remember) But I remember I remember (I remember) I remember I remember (I remember) I remember (I remember...)
