Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Try to remember when life was low
Try to remember when you were young
Try to remember when life was low
Try to remember when you were young
[Verse 2]
You used to be my man, we ran the streets
Had a plan to make two-fifty grand
Started rapping, rocked the lamb from here to Japan
I used my knowledge to expand my thoughts
Caught you tryna sabotage
Betrayed me with a kiss, you used your smile as camoflauge
We used to spar in your garage when we was little
Now I write riddles and string together rhythms like fiddles
Like skittles sticks, I pick you up, shit was thick in the middle
Be trailing new to me, in fact, it's the only thing that's true to me
I'm soon to be gone since I grew to be strong
What you doin' is wrong and so long as the mic in my palm
Going out like Genghis Kahn on this track, taken right back
To the essence, count my friends as blessings
It didn't take me long to write this song, I learnt a lesson
Dressing mics like a phenomenon, hanging like gardens do in Babylon
But you need the power to keep moving on, I'ma lift you
Upon my shoulders, and in the end forgive you
[Verse 3]
Watch who you trust, 'cause your friends could be your enemies
They just pretend to be to hide they true identity
Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be
But love is gone, it's erased from the memory
[Verse 4]
Watch who you trust, 'cause your friends could be your enemies
They just pretend to be to hide they true identity
Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be
But love is gone, it's erased from the memory
[Verse 5]
Try to remember when life was low
Try to remember when you were young
Try to remember when life was low
Try to remember when you were young
[Verse 6]
She was like the warmth of the sun
Didn't think it could be done
She lead me to believe she was the one
Who'd love me till the end
A friend I could depend on, life got complicated
I knew it from the start, she'd be the one who broke my heart
My life, it fell apart, emptiness took her place
Bitter was the taste of hate that made me recognize her face
Love was gone without a trace of ever being felt
It wasn't love that helped me when I was down and out
I couldn't cope, my only hope was rope around my neck
The only way to escape the things you can't forget
A lesson learned, don't give your love away unearned
'Cause time turns and hearts burn can never be returned
To sender, when I think about the bitch I can remember
Times that I would shine for her like Summer in December
Defender, representative, the end
But had to make a promise to my heart that I could never love again
[Verse 7]
Watch who you trust, 'cause your friends could be your enemies
They just pretend to be to hide they true identity
Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be
But love is gone, it's erased from the memory
[Verse 8]
Watch who you trust, 'cause your friends could be your enemies
They just pretend to be to hide they true identity
Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be
But love is gone, it's erased from the memory
[Verse 9]
I was a kid and I was full of life, I didn't know
Things like hate didn't even have a chance to grow
My parents didn't know, 'cause there was no way I could tell
Them that the angel secretly lived in a private hell
Yo, I could smell the alcohol upon his rotten breath
I prayed for death as he laid his hands upon my breasts
I cried and screamed, said you're not allowed to do these things
But he was mean, he told me if I told he'd tax my spleen
I was a queen, but subjected to being disrespected
I was infected with this hate without an antiseptic
And disgusted with this man of whom my dad had trusted
I tried to fight it, yo, but in the end I had to hide it
Deep in my soul, what part of no didn't he understand?
Another oh or was it simply 'cause he was a man
I coulda ran and escaped to a foreign land
But I stayed and today it makes me who I am
[Verse 10]
Watch who you trust, 'cause your friends could be your enemies
They just pretend to be to hide they true identity
Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be
But love is gone, it's erased from the memory
[Verse 11]
Watch who you trust, 'cause your friends could be your enemies
They just pretend to be to hide they true identity
Life is love, that's the way that it was meant to be
But love is gone, it's erased from the memory
