Goodie Mob - Remember What I Said Lyrics
[t-mo]Trying to keep my head above waterSelling myself short to meet the *****ing quotaStill theres niggas at my heels to get my paperStacking up in the bank, the layers on the cake-aThinking like jimmy, tami, oh its low downNiggas be getting mad as I go round like pacThe shit dont stop, I hid the rock in my sockDid my day and a half, now its autographs I be signingInstead of police papersCaught scheming, not pulling capers, no fed timeJust mental healingWhat you dealing with? the angelic upliftIts 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 dreamYou really dont understand whytil you gone and deadSo when your time comesJust remember what I saidHumanll find truth to tell a lieTake away my past and dont show me I can flySly like stone, its on, you say peaceI cant relate homes, Im on the *****ing streetsBelieve it or not, Im sure there be calmer situationsWhen dirty cops approach me joe, Im on probationHesitating could get me tookWhat can I do? mildew?Can I take your place on your next trip toThe islands of alto, so its going down like thatIm back to bat dropping wits on waxTo fit into the mix of the rich and scanlousCant let em handle us any kind of way, ***** itAnd run away, I dont want it torn joeI think they gay, dont wanna play my shit up northBut thats okay, jealousy can go a long wayAnd what goes around comes around in the a-town[big gipp]Have you ever thought about what it would be likeIf everybody woke up and said ***** workWebs of small talk, people caught up in this thingI try to relax, but I stay shaking like the blue flameIt keeps coming, this and that, that and thisAnother suing me, well I add him to the listFlows and flows, with the girls with the tight clothesSaying anything to get off in these back doorsIrritating like whats on them thirtiesAint looking for no more friends, I got enough buddiesA thousand attempts with thirty cents to their nameI got enough pine but I cant find the flameSweet like honeysuckles, country like that cha cha on the greenJumping fences and rooms with large laughterOriginal gene grafter, more and more ways to eatBrews tested by the astronauts, turn the turn the watts upListen to what I saidCnn all day in your eyes and your head[khujo]No longer can I ask when Im in your presenceNow its hard to tell whether youre trying to hurt or help meAt the bottom of this barrel scrapingNext time I promise to stand for self-determinationInstead of always taking from coolKeeping the same color as you and me, continue to battle dnaLets travel to a remote city get back, have mercyUnravel and break the chains of chemical dependencyPlastic can eventually explode bits and pieces of my soulShattering, just not being put back togetherWe can rule, but still brothers wont use that toolIn between their shoulders, clickHearts cold as bricks, nipples what better way to crippleAn entire race on the paper chaseGetting my toes stepped on, then kicked in my faceEvery time I open my mouth I represent the southDirty like red, it was the lifestyle I ledWorshipping vanity, fornicating out of wedlockLocked in yesterdays trunk of secrets, I fledWent from sugar to sheet rockGet your rocks, sweet licks turn sourBy the hour, over on tiger flowerIf that light went on that meant goSay what you really mean, I atoneFor all the women I abused as a youngsterPeople got four fifths out this dumpster[cee-lo]Compositions should be able to make the connectionsFrom reflections of livingWhy every breath is god-givenAppreciating, especially waitingLetting time do the educatingIn order to knowSunshine and the rain are both neededOr the seed cant growIts given me some form of inner visionHow the paragraphs are prepared with precisionUnveiling evidence that this is no coincidenceWeve been sentJudge not by my skin color but my characters contentIn no way is this an attempt to claim to be exemptFrom my peoples situations, but I have moral obligationsSee I want to be all right with godLong conversations at night with godMy arms are gonna always be too short to fight with godTo all this might not be appealingBut I cant help feeling the way I doI realize that my reward wont come from any of youSee everybody got a little light under the sunshineBut unselfishly I still want to share mineAnd what you choose to do is on youYouve got to stand on your own feet cause I aint got but twoI cant knock you for not knowingBut I could for you not wanting to learnNor for asking, but I could for you not wanting to earnNo I cant, cause somebody even had to tell me twiceSo this music is my sacrifice, so Ill be dedicatedDeterminated and dependable, to demonstrate directlyAnd use the opportunity correctlySo forget the gold teethAnd uh, and uhForget the bald headForget it sound countryJust remember what I said
