I Remember

[Verse 1: Black Thought]I drew a 2 of hearts from a deck of cardsA stock trick from my empty repertoireAnother hopeless story never read at allI'm better off looking for the endWhere the credits areIt's a pain living life against the grainI'm looking back and y'all look the sameTroy, Mark, and little what's his nameMemory is rerunning it allIt's the flight of my fall and it's right on the wall[Hook]I rememberCan you remember?How it wasI doRemember, do you? (2xs)[Verse 2: Black Thought]I used to ride the train to the same two stopsAnd look at the graffiti on the rooftopsLike the same song playing on the jukeboxJoint called "Faded Polaroids In A Shoebox"Regardless to what the cadence isIt can't be forgotten like old acquaintancesI realize how depressing of a place it isAnd when I notice my reflection whose face it is[Hook][Musical break][Hook]It's only human to express the way you really feelBut that same humanity is my Achilles' heelA leopard can't change his spots and never willSo I'm forever illNow I can never chillWhat's keeping me from breaking out like BenadrylWhen my baptism of fire resulted in a killSometimes it's as cut and dry as a business dealYou gotta cause the blood of a close friend to spillBut you remember stillTip the ScalesI'm a side of suicideHeads or tails
