Mary J. Blige - Reflections (I Remember) lyrics
rate meI remember, I remember<br />
I remember, I remember<br />
I remember, I remember<br />
I remember<br />
<br />
Back before the record deal and the cars<br />
And the cribs and the way that things took off<br />
I was signin' at Lucy's on 1-25th, just tryin' my best to get on<br />
Back when me and Puff and B.I.G. was kids and I knew Jodeci<br />
I was young and tough and fresh in love and it was all a dream<br />
<br />
Signing a contract, no guiding light, just hopin' I<br />
I can get out the projects<br />
And get my family right 'cause they were my life<br />
In Red Zones, in Bentley's, you can catch me, tryna do me<br />
I was jaded on the block, I coulda faded on the block<br />
But I made it off the block and I<br />
<br />
I remember, back when I didn't know which way to live<br />
I remember, back when pain was all I had to give<br />
The reflections of my life, I see the lessons that I've learned<br />
And now I know, heartbreak don't exist when it's been torn apart by love<br />
<br />
I use to throw a fit, I use to shed a doubt<br />
And blame it on a man but that was Mary than<br />
And this is Mary now, you gotta understand<br />
It's about how we respect ourselves<br />
And the men have no control of our self-esteem<br />
And when we see that then we can let go, oh<br />
<br />
I remember, back when I didn't know which way to live<br />
I remember, back when pain was all I had to give<br />
The reflections of my life, I see the lessons that I've learned<br />
And now I know, heartbreak don't exist when it's been torn apart by love<br />
<br />
Now I made some mistakes, I lost some friends along the way<br />
But I don't carry it 'cause it made me a better chick<br />
It's my life and I know that there's more for me to see<br />
(So much more)<br />
I may not be what I'm suppose to<br />
But I can tell you right now, I ain't what I use to be<br />
<br />
(I remember)<br />
I remember when I didn't know which way to live<br />
(I remember)<br />
I remember when pain was all I had to give<br />
The reflections of my life, I see the lessons that I've learned<br />
And now I know, heartbreak don't exist when it's been torn apart by love<br />
(I remember)<br />
<br />
I remember, I remember<br />
(I remember)<br />
I remember, I remember<br />
The reflections of my life, I see the lessons that I've learned<br />
And now I know, heartbreak don't exist<br />
When it's been torn apart by love, by love<br />
(I remember)<br />
<br />
Don't exist no more<br />
(I remember)<br />
But I remember, I remember<br />
(I remember)<br />
I remember, I remember<br />
(I remember)<br />
I remember<br />
<br />
I remember<br /><br />
