Remember Me? (feat. Chance the Rapper)

Yeah, ok, well, hey, yo, remember me?

The one you used to rarely meet

Yeah, I was just on BET

Didn't see? No, it's just somethin' I thought about

Probably happy you know a lot of kids that you fucked off

And forgot about

But, nah, this is not what that's all about

There's more than that to it

Look, I know we've both been through it but

You've been doing anything but what you should be doing

Like, when I call you on Christmas

And you come with excuses

And tell me how you're sorry, Kyle

But this year I'm Jewish

But last year you was Hindu

And the year before it was Buddhist

To keep from buying me clothes, I bet you'd probably be a nudist

I probably have my moms on Maury asking him to prove it

So I put my face on the album so you'd have to face the music

And I when I think about it, it couldn't have been that hard

I didn't need the money, man, I just wanted the card

But you was always busy or like somewhere hella far

But ever since I made it, it seems like you never are

That's weird

I said, you gon' remember me?

You said, what's your name again?

Frankly, don't come and it's all right

I'll re-jog your memory

I said, you gon' remember me?

You said, what's your name again?

Frankly, don't come and it's all right

I'll re-jog your memory

(August 24, 2013, journal entry 87)

(The past is just a story we tell ourselves)

(Do you remember ours?)

(Tell me the story, would you please?)

Yeah, yeah, hey look, the happy rapper's not so happy now

I remember when I used to laugh aloud

Nowadays, I only LOL

Through text 'cause I don't wanna talk

Don't touch me, I don't wanna feel

Rewrote this verse a couple times

First time I kept it way too real

Back before dropping, keep it real

You really dropped me on my ass

I sent a hundred thousand texts

Don't think you ever sent one back

Let's backtrack back to 2012

Packed our backpacks and hit the road

Felt like I died and went to heaven

My life at home was living hell

I told you you was all I had

It's funny that you couldn't tell

When all your friends was talking shit

It's funny that you couldn't smell

It's funny then you couldn't spell

When I got no answers to the texts

These things get harder to forgive

And even harder to forget

But when I think about it

I'm kinda glad that you did

Don't try to eat with me now

If you couldn't starve with me then

A couple months ago, fuck

It was hard for us to be friends

Your heart is so much bigger

Ever since I made it big

Man, that's weird

I said, you gon' remember me?

You said, what's your name again?

Frankly, don't come and it's all right

I'll re-jog your memory

I said, you gon' remember me?

You said, what's your name again?

Frankly, don't come and it's all right

I'll re-jog your memory

I said, you gon' remember me?

You said, what's your name again?

Frankly, don't come and it's all right

I'll re-jog your memory

I said, you gon' remember me?

You said, what's your name again?

Frankly, don't come and it's all right

I'll re-jog your memory
