lirik lagu i remember – the reminders

[intro: aja black]
and i remember, i remember, i remember, i remember, i remember

[verse 1:aja black]
i used to rock a 32 on my shoes
long pony tail and bangs
i wore my brothers hand me downs
no make up on my face
remembering in them days that they used to call me g-y
because the charms i ain’t displayed made me target for their play
dynamics of the school yard was predators and prey
shut ’em up quick, with my fists, when they called me names
and then i’d runaway to the recesses in my brain
and place upon the page all the things i couldn’t say
i had scars from head to toe, they embarr-ssed me much
because the other little girls would call them ugly and such
it’s like i was the duck, it’s like they were the swans
while i was drowning in muck, they were swimming on ponds
and then one day i had enough
of always being tough
of hiding my scars, and being afraid
and always trying to fit inside boxes they made
i quit, following the crowd and started finding my way
i learned i’m blessed to be me, just the way i am
my mother made sure of it, she’d always tell me that
the differences in people is where you find the beauty at
the differences in people is where you find the beauty at
and i remember

[hook]
and i remember, i remember, i remember [x4]

[verse 2:big samir]
couple of years going to school, rocking the same shoes
broke and embarr-ssed hood was always on the morning news
no daddy home momma raised us on her own
she worked hard and partied i was out with the crew
acting grown, covered my true self by always being wild for the night
but really shy and insecure until i learned how to fight
stopped running from skin heads but still picked on for my color
got on that black and proud ’74 soul power
but back in the congo they called me ?? a child of europe
grew up a little confused about where i belonged hold up
i’m a true product of colonization, discrimination
humiliation, no self determination

[hook]

[aja black]
back in the day when i was young i’m not a kid anymore [x2]

you see life ain’t always harmonies and dreams
and everything in life ain’t always what it seems
no matter what they do to bring me down to my knees
i’ll always believe in me [x3]

no matter what they do to bring me down to my knees
i’ll always believe in me

and i remember, i remember, i remember [x4]
