Album: Flying Colours
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I forget so often, God, no wonder I feel lost
When I forget where I came from
Or how I got past. Now we ain’t young
Can’t play dumb. The fun and games is done
Man, it’s a strange one
Reverend what you say, Run
Walk this Way
By the light of the same sun
That's in the sky where's the rain's from
But the clouds make it hard to see him
He's in my brother I discovered that it's not that hard to be him
I just lose him in the pm thinking if I'd have to beat him
I could hang with Mona Lisas like a piece in a museum
Uh
Human beings deep inside we decide if we free men
[Hook]

{In me now}
Remember to remember
{I need it now}
Just remember to remember
{In me now}
Remember to remember
{I see you now}
[Verse 2]
You may have to forgive him forever
Everyday they say life can make you bitter or better
I say "Hey, sacred or not it's all that we got"
Love is what it is, or maybe not what you thought
Woke up one morning started talking to pops
He said there's lots that you've learned but a lot you forgot
More often than not you don't got to be taught
Just remember to remember how you got to the spot that's hot
I'm happy and healthy and dreaming and dying
I'm loving and lonely and tired of trying
I’m fall and faded and failing with Flying
Colours fumbling forward facing sky
My aim's to entertain and inspire
Walk through the rain and the fire
Pay bills keep sane and retire
From the game with a name that's admired
Seeing the stars and aiming higher
[Hook]
Remember to remember
{In me now}
Remember to remember
{I feel it now}
Remember to remember
{In me now}
Remember to remember
{I need it now}
Remember to remember
{In me now}
Yeah
{I feel it now}
Remember to remember
{In me now}
Break it down like this...
{I need it now}
[Verse 3]
Now I ain't ever really been one for image
And trying to fool the public with some stunts and gimmicks
Guys gravitate to blunts and Guinness
To get the courage to fight the urge
In 'em not to succumb to timidness
And this world is fully overrun with mimics
With a penchant for overexposing Guns and women
Few deals, funds is limited
Folks front to get in the game
That ain't kind. Everyone's a critic
But this ain't a race to win it's a run to finish
And as long as I got breath in my lungs to end it
The enemy isn't the flesh and blood thugs and cynics
We fighting fear and pride for the love within us
[Hook]
Remember
{In me now}
Remember to remember
{I see you now}
Remember to remember
{In me now}
Remember to remember
{I feel it now}
Remember to Remember
{I feel it now}
Remember to Remember
{I feel it now}
Remember to Remember
{I feel it now}
Remember to Remember

[Verse 4]
Break it down
The poor struggle with needs
The rich struggle with greed
This camel struggle to squeeze
Through the eye of a needle
Some eyes struggle to see
But we all struggle for freedom
Instead of freeing each other
By letting ourselves be
Yeah, and it never ends
We only feel better
When we feel like we’re better than
Clever men and our violence
Silence is when we shoot from the lip
Too quiet, then we talk non-violence
And stay silent when it suits
Really, it’s all violence at the root
The same James Wilkes in the booth
But tyrants aren’t tyrants in the group
Who started the shooting?
Who knows?
We were all just born inside of this truth
Taught to shoot as youth
Taught as just humans being human
But the truth is the
Truth is bulletproof
