You Remember
Gentleman Lyrics

(You remember) When we used to write letters
Remember the good old way of sending letters through pen and paper

And we never used to send text messages
We never used to rely on technology to communicate like we do now

(You remember) when there was no Facebook, no Youtube
Remember the time when social media platforms were not there to consume our time

Never invalid the colleges
Don't undermine the importance of getting an education

(You remember) that technology's a good thing
Remember that technology has enabled us to do great things

But many misuse it and cause pier damages
However, many people misuse technology and cause harm to themselves and others

The future is so great, but we can't forget the past (No)
We must look forward to the future, but we should never forget our roots and history

I'm passionate about this memory I got this feeling
I am deeply connected to these memories and emotions

Question to the leaders and me ask them what them dealin'
I have a question for the leaders of the world

See seh that the world need a spiritual healin'
I believe that the world needs spiritual healing

What about the youth that we leavin'?
What about the younger generation that we are leaving behind?

Cyberspace take their mind only that them a believe in
The online world has captured their attention and influenced their beliefs

The elders get bitter so them stop from teachin'!
Older generations become bitter and stop teaching the younger ones

Miles from the youth than how you ago reach him
The gap between the older and younger generation is too big to bridge sometimes

Tell me how you ago reach him
How can we reach the younger generation and make them listen?

Certain good things happen in the past
Certain good things happened in the past

Now everything change everybody move fast
Now everything has changed and everyone moves quickly

And the youths me see dem act like dem lost
The younger generation seems lost to me

Everybody wanna be a rebel without a cause
Everyone wants to rebel without knowing why they are rebelling

Now the tension so high like it want touch the sky
Now the tension is very high and seems like it could lead to a breaking point

Dem a plan now fi try get you out
They are planning to get rid of you

Mannerism is depleted the past is deleted
Good manners have disappeared and the past has been forgotten

Dem fi know life s more than a flaas
They need to know that life is more than just showing off

And the children used to listen to the teacher
Children used to respect and listen to their teachers

Now the children dem a gwaan like dem a the teacher of the class
Nowadays, children act like they are the ones in charge

Dem used to say thank you and good morning
They used to show gratitude and respect by saying thank you and good morning

Now not even question a ask
Nowadays, not even a simple question is asked

But you can t blame the youth 'cause they don t know the truth
You can't blame the younger generation because they don't know the whole truth

There is no one to help dem stick to the task
There is no one to guide them and help them stay focused on their tasks

(Can you you remember) When we used to write letters
Do you remember when we used to write letters?

(Do you remember) when there was no Facebook, no Youtube
Do you remember when there was no Facebook or Youtube?

Remember, remember
Remember the good old days
