I remember when I used to sweat you
But you ain't pay no mind you paid no mind
You never gave me time gave me time
I remember curving' all my ex's
I remember nights that I was stressin'
But now I'm doin fine I'm doin fine
Forward all your calls when you hit my line
I remember I remember
You ain't wanna slide when my ride was a bucket
Now you wanna vibe when you see me out in public
I remember I remember
I remember I remember
Wouldn't show me love when your boy ain't have nothin
Now you wanna cut when you see the way I'm stuntin'
I remember when I told you I'd be on round November
I was handing out my tape and you was with your girl Brenda
I was posted by the corner right across from Odellas
That was when I had the Civic right in front of the bodega
Fast forward now I'm livin' in them cities where you vaca at
Told you when I leave I ain't ever coming back
I'ma put it down for my niggas in the trap
Gotta be the reason that my city on the map
In and out of town just to double up the stack
It ain't where you from it's where you're at
I be OT low key
Mind on the business
Ridin' slabs doin dabs boy I hope you ain't offended
They ain't have faith when I told em' ima get it
They was throwin' shade now they praise cuz I'm winning
It's a cold world fuck em' all and their feelings
Told em' I'd be back in a minute
I remember I remember
I remember I remember
You ain't wanna slide when my ride was a bucket
Now you wanna vibe when you see me out in public
I remember I remember
I remember I remember
Wouldn't show me love when your boy ain't have nothin
Now you wanna cut when you see the way I'm stuntin'
I remember I remember
The song "I Remember" by B.A.P is an emotionally charged track about reminiscing over past experiences and relationships.The song starts with the memories of the singer's first encounter with their love interest. They remember being infatuated with their love interest but the latter did not reciprocate. The singer also remembers the times they were in a difficult state of mind, but now they have moved on and are doing well. The song then shifts to a more resentful tone as the singer recalls how their love interest did not want to be associated with them when they were struggling. However, now that the singer is successful, the love interest wants to be in their life. At the end of the song, the singer asserts they will not forget how their love interest treated them when they needed someone, and now they have moved on.
The song has a strong message about the importance of resilience and the power to move past hurtful experiences. It also portrays the idea that people who ignored or dismissed them are now trying to be a part of their life once they are successful. It is a powerful reminder that one should never forget the people who were there for them in their difficult moments. The song also creates an introspective atmosphere, where the listeners are encouraged to think about their own experiences and how they have grown as a person.

Told you when I leave I ain't ever coming back
I informed you that once I leave, I won't return
I'ma put it down for my niggas in the trap
I'm going to represent my friends who are still in the streets
Gotta be the reason that my city on the map
I have to be the reason why my city has become so celebrated
In and out of town just to double up the stack
I'm frequently traveling to double my earnings
It ain't where you from it's where you're at
Your hometown isn't important- it's what you do in the present that matters
I be OT low key
I am out-of-town and keeping a low profile
Mind on the business
I am focusing on my work
Ridin' slabs doin dabs boy I hope you ain't offended
I'm driving nice cars and smoking marijuana, I hope you aren't upset
They ain't have faith when I told em' ima get it
People didn't believe in me when I told them I would succeed
They was throwin' shade now they praise cuz I'm winning
Now they are congratulating me since I have become successful
It's a cold world fuck em' all and their feelings
The world is harsh, I don't care about their emotions or opinions
Told em' I'd be back in a minute
I informed them I'd be back soon
I remember when I used to sweat you
Once again, I recall being infatuated with you
You ain't wanna slide when my ride was a bucket
And again, you didn't want to hang out with me when I had a cheap car
Now you wanna vibe when you see me out in public
But currently, you want to enjoy being around me when you see me in public
Wouldn't show me love when your boy ain't have nothin
Once more, you didn't show me any love or support when I was struggling financially
Now you wanna cut when you see the way I'm stuntin'
Yet currently, you want to be with me when you see how well off I am.
