Reflections (I Remember) Songtext

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 signin' At Lucy's On 1-25th Just tryin' My best To get on Back when Me and Puff And B.I.G. Was kids And I knew Jodeci I was young And tough And fresh in love And it was All a dream Signing a contract No guiding light Just hopin' I I can get out The projects And get my Family right 'Cause they Were my life In Red Zones In Bentley's You can Catch me Tryna do me I was jaded On the block I coulda 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 use to Throw a fit I use To shed A doubt And blame it On a man But that Was Mary than 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 Then we can Let go 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 made Some mistakes I lost some Friends along The way But I don't Carry it 'Cause it Made me A better chick Its my life And I know That there's More for Me to see I may not be What I'm Suppose to But I can Tell you right now I ain't what I use to be 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 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 I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember I remember
