Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You remember when we used to write letters

And we never used to send text messages

You remember, when there was no Facebook

No YouTube, never invade the colleges

You remember, that technology's a good thing

But many misuse it and cause weird damages

The future is so great, we can't forget the past

[Verse 2]

I'm passionate about this memory, I got this feeling

Question to the leaders and me ask them what them dealing

See say that the world need a spiritual healin'

What about the youth that we leavin'?

[Verse 3]

Cyberspace take their mind only them a believe in

The elders get bitter, so them stop from teachin'

Miles from the youth, then know you how to reach him

Tell me how you go reach him

[Verse 4]

We rememberin' the past, but if there wasn't no past

Just remember seh there wouldn't be no future

So I say it with all costs, on your behalf just like how Christ died for the youth, yeah

[Verse 5]

That's just a moment in time, to mesmerize your mind

You better acknowledge the truth, yeah

If your objective is crime, you keep bein' unkind

Then your own weapon will shoot ya

[Verse 6]

You remember when we used to write letters

And we never used to send text messages

You remember, when there was no Facebook

No YouTube, never invade the colleges

You remember, that technology's a good thing

But many misuse it and cause weird damages

The future is so great, we can't forget the past

[Verse 7]

No, certain good things happen in the past

Now everything change, everybody move fast, move fast

And the youth, me see them act like animals

Everybody wanna be a rebel without a cause

[Verse 8]

You remember, when we put our hands out on the road

Down south, everybody coulda rode all about

Now the tension's so high, like it want touch the sky

Them a plan now fi try get you out

[Verse 9]

Man, is a depleting, the past is deleting

Them fi no life's more than a flash

And the children used to listen to the teacher

Now the children them a guan like them are the teacher of the class

[Verse 10]

They used to say thank you and good morning

Now not even a question a ask

But you can't blame the youth, God, I don't know the truth

There's no one to help them stick to the task

[Verse 11]

You remember, when we use to write letters and we never used to send text messages

You remember, when there was no Facebook

No YouTube, never invade the colleges

You remember, that technology's a good thing

But many misuse it and cause weird damages

The future is so great, we can't forget the past

[Verse 12]

Can you remember?

When we used to write letters, and we never used to send text messages

We remember, when there was no Facebook

No YouTube, never invade the colleges

You remember, that technology's a good thing

But many misuse it and cause weird damages

The future is so great, we can't forget the past

No, remember, remember, ooh

[Verse 13]

You remember, can you remember?

Do you remember?

You remember when we used to write letters

And we never used to send text messages

Do you remember?

When there was no Facebook

No YouTube, never invade the colleges

Can you remember

That technology's a good thing, but many misuse it and cause weird damages

[Verse 14]

The future is so great, we can't forget the past

You remember

Remember

You remember
