Supastition - I Remember lyrics

Seems like everything is a
Little different now
M-Phazes, you know what I mean man
It's funny how people treat you
When they see your name on a CD or somethin
I didn't forget y'all
The ones who fronted on a nigga when
I was tring to get some shine
But now the tables turn "And it's showtime"

I remember rockin' shows for free
Tryin' to sell a CD
Hand in hand I can't go there again
I can't forget
Dealin' with the BS, yes the bullshit
When nobody was givin' a damn

I feel like I'm in
Another world another place
Within the span of two years
The way they see a brother's face
Has taken a drastic change 360
Ladies and cats don't act the same
I guess that explains why my
Phone keeps continuously ringin'
People reachin' out
Before they were deep in doubt
They didn't think I'd even amount
To be more than a battle MC with punchlines
Or rapped over mediocre beats but
Now it comes time
For me to explode, shine and get some love
Like Michael J fox
Nobody knew how sick I was
But at the end of the day
It ain't even about the way I spit
It's about the bigger names
That I'm associated with
The rap game is nothing more
Than bullshit and politics
With shady cats tryin' to squeeze
Ever dollar out of it
Now everybody's askin' for favors
Out of the blue
But, I don't break my neck for
Anyone outside of my crew
I used to walk around the
Club every week feelin' foolish
Gettin' zero amount of love
Tryin' to hustle my music
And local heads looked at me like
I was kidnappin' they shine
Actin' like it's cool
But, I know what's in the back of their minds
Cause half of the time
Little motherfuckers wouldn't speak
Now they askin' me to rhyme
Tryin' to slide me beats
Now everything changed
Now everyone's a little more friendlier
With hidden agendas

I remember rockin' shows for free
Tryin' to sell a CD
Hand in hand I can't go there again
I can't forget
Dealin' with the BS, yes the bullshit
When nobody was givin' a damn

I remember (I remember)
Hell yeah (Hell yeah)
I remember (I remember)
Don't you? (Don't you?)

M-Phazes what, what? Illmind d-minor
And Muneshine wax Reform y'all

I'm from a place where local
MCs never get applause
Unless they make music for crunk
Clubs and titty bars
So many people think this
Music biz isn't hard
So every other dummy got a
Label or a business card
You gotta watch these fake
Barry Gordy sellin' dreams
Cause you could sign your life away
They'll walk away with everything
These clowns need to watch the
Bullshit they promise people
Like A&R's with less power
Than the Amish people
"I can make you a star!"
Yeah, right I don't believe you
"Your album is coming out in March!"
Man, I'll believe it when I see it
Leave it to some companies I'll never
See the light of day
But Supa is a business man, regardless
I'll find a way
And some of y'all are good cats
But my landlord and baby mom don't wanna
Hear about my album gettin' pushed back
I look back
Learn from my mistakes and keep makin' moves
April Fools to anybody thinkin'
I'mma wait for you
I've put too much time in it
To waste it on people
And have niggas holdin' me
Up like K-Swiss sneakers
I'm faced with deceivers every
Day on the regular the norm
But, I refuse to settle or conform
I came way too far to let these
15 seconds of fame slip away
It's the same shit a different day
And I ain't gon' change son what you think
My memory's shot and I forgot
Where I came from? Man

I remember rockin' shows for free
Tryin' to sell a CD
Hand in hand I can't go there again
I can't forget
Dealin' with the BS, yes the bullshit
When nobody was givin' a damn

What? What? It's like that y'all, uh
Now, class is over dismissed
