Remember What I Said Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Goodie Mob

(T-Mo) 

Trying to keep my head above water 

Selling myself short to meet the fucking quota 

Still there's niggas at my heels to get my paper 

Stacking up in the bank, the layers on the cake-a 

Thinking like Jimmy, Tami, oh it's low down 

Niggas be getting mad as I go 'round like Pac 

The shit don't stop, I hid the rock in my sock 

Did my day and a half, now it's autographs I be signing 

Instead of police papers 

Caught scheming, not pulling capers, no fed time 

Just mental healing 

What you dealing with? The angelic uplift 

It's a way to save everything with your gift 

(Yeah) 

Now a seed to a tree was to be 

(Yeah) 

A boy to a man comes up quickest like a dream 

You really don't understand why 

'Til you gone and dead 

So when your time comes 

Just remember what I said 

Human'll find truth to tell a lie 

Take away my past and don't show me I can fly 

Sly like Stone, it's on, you say peace 

I can't relate homes, I'm on the fucking streets 

Believe it or not, I'm sure there be calmer situations 

When dirty cops approach me joe, I'm on probation 

Hesitating could get me took 

What can I do? Mildew? 

Can I take your place on your next trip to 

The islands of Alto, so it's going down like that 

I'm back to bat dropping wits on wax 

To fit into the mix of the rich and scan'lous 

Can't let 'em handle us any kind of way, fuck it 

And run away, I don't want it torn joe 

I think they gay, don't wanna play my shit up north 

But that's okay, jealousy can go a long way 

And what goes around comes around in the A-town 

(Big Gipp)

Have you ever thought about what it would be like 

If everybody woke up and said "Fuck work" 

Webs of small talk, people caught up in this thing 

I try to relax, but I stay shaking like the blue flame 

It keeps coming, this and that, that and this 

Another suing me, well I add him to the list 

Flows and flows, with the girls with the tight clothes 

Saying anything to get off in these back doors 

Irritating like what's on them thirties 

Ain't looking for no more friends, I got enough buddies 

A thousand attempts with thirty cents to their name 

I got enough pine but I can't find the flame 

Sweet like honeysuckles, country like that cha cha on the green 

Jumping fences and rooms with large laughter 

Original gene grafter, more and more ways to eat 

Brews tested by the astronauts, turn the turn the watts up 

Listen to what I said 

CNN all day in your eyes and your head 

Photos 

(Khujo) 

No longer can I ask when I'm in your presence 

Now it's hard to tell whether you're trying to hurt or help me 

At the bottom of this barrel scraping 

Next time I promise to stand for self-determination 

Instead of always taking from cool 

Keeping the same color as you and me, continue to battle DNA 

Let's travel to a remote city get back, have mercy 

Unravel and break the chains of chemical dependency 

Plastic can eventually explode bits and pieces of my soul 

Shattering, just not being put back together 

We can rule, but still brothers won't use that tool 

In between their shoulders, click 

Hearts cold as bricks, nipples what better way to cripple 

An entire race on the paper chase 

Getting my toes stepped on, then kicked in my face 

Every time I open my mouth I represent the South 

Dirty like red, it was the lifestyle I led 

Worshipping vanity, fornicating out of wedlock 

Locked in yesterday's trunk of secrets, I fled 

Went from sugar to sheet rock 

Get your rocks, sweet licks turn sour 

By the hour, over on tiger flower 

If that light went on that meant go 

Say what you really mean, I atone 

For all the women I abused as a youngster 

People got four fifths out this dumpster 

(Cee-Lo) 

Compositions should be able to make the connections 

From reflections of living 

Why every breath is God-given 

Appreciating, especially waiting 

Letting time do the educating 

In order to know 

Sunshine and the rain are both needed 

Or the seed can't grow 

It's given me some form of inner vision 

How the paragraphs are prepared with precision 

Unveiling evidence that this is no coincidence 

We've been sent 

Judge not by my skin color but my character's content 

In no way is this an attempt to claim to be exempt 

From my people's situations, but I have moral obligations 

See I want to be all right with God 

Long conversations at night with God 

My arms are gonna always be too short to fight with God 

To all this might not be appealing 

But I can't help feeling the way I do 

I realize that my reward won't come from any of you 

See everybody got a little light under the sunshine 

But unselfishly I still want to share mine 

And what you choose to do is on you 

You've got to stand on your own feet cause I ain't got but two 

I can't knock you for not knowing 

But I could for you not wanting to learn 

Nor for asking, but I could for you not wanting to earn 

No I can't, cause somebody even had to tell me twice 

So this music is my sacrifice, so I'll be dedicated 

Determinated and dependable, to demonstrate directly 

And use the opportunity correctly 

So forget the gold teeth 

And uh, and uh 

Forget the bald head 

Forget it sound country 

Just remember what I said
