De La Soul, Pete Rock, Estelle - Memory of... (US) lyrics

Cause it's so easy to fall
Back to the memory of
And it's easy to recall the
Good and fall into place
But you're not easy to love
I love the memory of
I remember your face, I remember your way

I remember you now part of my existence
I remember your face you came in and got me
All in a day yeah, all in a day
I remember your lips
Do you remember the taste?
Remember family names
Your child, my child, our child
Whitley and Dwayne different to my world now
Remember the ways
You gripped my hips so tight now?
Slow up the pace
Maybe erase, don't remember my waist

Cause it's so easy to fall
Back to the memory of
And it's easy to recall the
Good and fall into place
But you're not easy to love
I love the memory of
I remember your face, I remember your way

How could I forget?
A ballad was born upon a demo
Of a fly love song
Didn't take long before the archer
With the wings heard it
Shot us in the heart with a contract
He knew we were a hit
The right amount of soul with
A parallel amount of grit
But the archer couldn't see
The target of departure
Gave in your pink slip and called it quit's
It's understood you would
Label me the mate who wronged you
Cause I kept wanting to feature
With them other females on they songs too
Your words spoken in mono for monogamy
Telling me I had to go cause I chose
Stereo for stereotypical male biology
And now I'm left setting traps
For you to fall in for me again
Who hates you to tell me
"Slow up the pace, maybe erase, don't…"

Slow up the pace
Maybe erase, don't remember my waist

Cause it's so easy to fall
Back to the memory of
And it's easy to recall the
Good and fall into place
But you're not easy to love
I love the memory of

Our last trip to Vegas had me
Feeling like we had a chance
But chance just showed up at the wedding
I guess I didn't read the heading
"Forgivin' won't erase the bitter past"
But I ain't up for kissing ass
I bought you everything your pretty
Feet could fit in
Put you behind the finest steering wheels
Fearing you would drive a nigga crazy
Told you grow up, but shit, you was my baby
Bit's and pieces never made nothing decent
When I accommodated you
You played me like a stranger

I remember you now (Accountability is major)
A part of what I did then remember your face
Just don't let me trip over memory lane
Cause time can't be replaced
And I don't want to stay

Cause, oh
It's so easy to fall back to the memory of
And it's so dah dah dee dah
Dah dah dah dah dee dah it's so easy to fall
In dah dah dah dah dee dah remember your way
Remember your way

It's De La featuring Estelle
