I Remember
J. Monty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The words just don't come out
With every stutter or a stammer
I think a lot more than words out my mouth
But that's okay
I am who I am
Everyone is their own Superman
If life was like the comics
I'd spend it just the way I do
One blessing at a time
I remember
And I miss that mindset
I remember when I dropped that ball
I remember how I felt excited
I remember so much more
The world has changed it's ways
Not everybody seems to be tough
What more can we learn today?
Besides full how to love
But that's okay
We are who we are
Everyone has a savior
If life was like the comics
We wouldn't take that dime
We'd spend it just the way we do
One blessing at a time
I remember
And I miss that mindset
I remember when I dropped that ball
I remember how I felt excited
I remember so much more
I remember
And I miss that mindset
I remember when I dropped that ball
I remember how I felt excited
I remember so much more
In "I Remember" by J. Monty, the rapper talks about the struggle of not being able to express oneself and the beauty of being true to oneself.
