Shad - Remember to Remember

Clever men in our violence, silence is when we shoot from the lip to quiet. When we talk non-violence and stay silent when is suits. Really it's all violence at the root.

Like any music loving maniac I rotate my top 5 emcees as if they were wheels of steel. Shad always stays at #1. Music has this innate ability to find me at the right time and enlighten my mood. No one is able to keep me more focused than Shad. He's wise, kind, and jovial which are attributes stripped from most artists these days. His morale fortitude is unparalleled and it's so clearly seen in each and every track and every one of his albums. I can honestly say that if more people were like Shad this world would be a far better place. Do yourself a favor and listen to his new album - Flying Colors.



Lyrics: Shad - Remember to Remember

Yeah
I forget so often God no wonder I feel lost
When I forget where I came from
Or how I get passed now we ain't young
Can't play dumb the fun and games done
Yeah man it's a strange one
Reverend what you say Run
Walk this way
By the light of the same sun
That's in the sky where's the rain's from
But the clouds make it hard to see him
He's in my brother I discovered that it's not that hard to be him
I just loose him in the pm thinking if I'd have to beat him
I could hang with Mona Lisas' like a piece in a museum
Uh
Human beings deep inside we decide if we free men

Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Just remember to remember
Remember to remember

Ohh
You may have to forgive him forever
For everyday they say life can make you bitter or better
I say hey sacred or not it's all that we got
Love is what it is or maybe not what you thought
Woke up one morning started talking to pops
He said there's lots that you've learned but a lot you forgot
More often than not you don't got to be taught
Just remember to remember how you got to the spot that's hot
I'm happy and healthy and dreaming and dying
I'm love and lonely and tired of trying
I'm fall and faded and failed with flying
Colors fumbling forward facing sky
My aim's to entertain and inspire
Walk through the rain and the fire
Pay bills keep sane and retire
From the game but the name that's admired
Seeing the stars and aiming higher

Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember

Break it down like this
Now I ain't ever really been one for image
And trying to fool the public with some stunts and gimmicks
Guys gravitate to blunts and Guinness
To get the courage to fight the urge in 'em not to succumb to timidness
And this world is fully overrun with mimics
With a pension for overexposing guns and women view
Deals funds is limited folks front to get in a game that ain't kind everyone's a critic
But this ain't a race to win it's a run to finish
And as long as I got breath in my lungs to end it
The enemy isn't the flesh and blood thugs and cynics
We fighting fear and pride for the love within us

Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember
Remember to remember

The poor struggle with needs
The rich struggle with greed
As camels struggle to squeeze
Through the eye of needle some eyes struggle to see
We all struggle for freedom
Instead of freeing each other by letting ourselves be
And it never ends
We only feel better when we feel like we're better than
Clever men in our violence
Silence is when we shoot from the lip to quiet
When we talk non-violence and stay silent when is suits
Really it's all violence at the root
Same James Wilkes in the Booth
But time is all tyrants into groups
Who started the shooting who knows
We were all just born inside of this truth
Taught to shoot as youth
Taught it's just humans being human
But the truth is the truth is bulletproof

Just remember to remember
