ANTHM - I Remember lyrics

[Pre-Hook] You used to hold me Told me that I was the best Anything in this world I want, I could possess All that made me want all that I could get In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets [Verse 1] Life is good, n***a Life is bad, n***a In contrast to the past, ain't quite a sad n***a Joy & Pain to a Handful of Dust Standing from dawn til dusk With a handful of trust Hard to dismiss the simplicity of ignorant bliss Confiscated like some stick up kids What it is? Voice raspy when he lifts up his Unofficial spokesperson for all of my folks nursing they wounds From the womb to a spoonful of knowledge Deposit the collagen in your lips Your lips [serves as eclipse?] My religion exists inside of my mind Diving sublime Space still arriving on time Like a spaceship College Dropout ready to hop out Without a smashed jaw Still rapping like it's my Last Call Tryna live it like it's good, 'til the last drop A gla** of Scotch Leave a footprint like I'm Sasquatch sh** is real Ain't no memory lapse If I stick to the facts, I can never relax 'Till it's 30 racks a show and I blow, then reach my max My homie's having a son Little boy named Jax Damn near impossible not to believe in this world That you can make it And still bring a seed in this world So we gon' make it And by extension, it's deeper than friendship I never mentioned but sh**, it makes sense, don't it? [Hook] You used to hold me Told me that I was the best Anything in this world I want, I could possess All that made me want all that I could get In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets (When you would hold me, I remember you told me That I could be a-ny-thing) [Verse 2] Yo, Yo Aw, f** it I'm in the corner sitting with my wash bucket Knuck If You Buck Getting bloody, gotta call something I ain't ducking from bra** knuckles {?] all tuck it Climbing a mountain even if God struck it with lightning Just to ruin my outlet Wardrobe changed to an aluminum outfit Electrocute me cause I ain't through with my route yet Am I confusing what being human's about? No doubt, if I'm a human, then I got a brain What you want me to do with it? Using my tools is intuitive How can I say that? Nature so vast Walking in this b**h and never shape my own path Good with the bad Mad basic math I be sipping my wine, plucking my grapes of wrath You be saying all hardships evil But you gotta question when does a hardship leave you Nah mean? [Hook] Check the prognosis Like the seven seas and the five oceans My thoughts flow, never denied motion [?] downpour, round 4 Brain storming like a plane swarming Imagination, I found war Gotta fight for your dreams Why would I clown for? Cashmere compared to last year when I was sound poor Illmatic fabric, I feel mad erratic I'm tryna mature, gathering my thrills while I'm at it, uh [Hook] [Outro] I been working this grave shift Damn, I ain't really made sh** But I'ma buy me a spaceship And fly, I ain't bout to die here
