Mary J. Blige Lyrics

"Reflections (I Remember)" lyrics


[Intro:]
I remember [x7]

[Verse 1:]
Back before the record deal
And the cars and the cribs
And the way that things
Took off
I was signin' at Lucy's
On 1-25th
Just tryin' my best
To get on

Back when Me and Puff
And B.I.G. was kids
And I knew
Jodeci
I was young and tough
And fresh in love
And it was all a dream

Signing a contract
No guiding light
Just hopin' I
I can get out
The projects
And get my family right
'Cause they were my life
In the Red Zones
In the Bentley's
You can catch me
Tryna do me
I was jaded on the block
I coulda faded on the block
But I made it off the block
And I

[Chorus:]
I remember
Back when I didn't know
Which way to live
I remember
Back when pain was
All I had to give
The reflections
Of my life
I see the
Lessons that I've learned
And now I know
Heartbreak don't exist
When it's been
Torn apart
By love

[Verse 2:]
I use to throw a fit
I use to shed a doubt
And blame it on a man
But that was Mary than
And this is Mary now
You gotta understand
It's about how we
Respect ourselves
And the men have no control
Of our self-esteem
And when we see that
Then we can
Let go

[Hook]

[Bridge:]
Now I made some mistakes
I lost some friends along
The way
But I don't carry it
Because it made me
A better chick
Its my life
And I know that there's
More for me to see
I may not be
What I'm suppose to
But I can
Tell you right now
I ain't what I use to be

[Hook]

[Outro:]
I remember [x7]
