Remember (feat. Samara Joy & Robert Glasper)

Remember the night
The night you said, "I love you"
Remember, you promised that you'd forget-me-not
But you forgot to remember
Uh, huh, uh, huh
Yeah, mm (remember)

Look
Heart just like a firecracker, fireworks and jack-o-lanterns
Lit up like a cabin's lantern, like a black activist
In the past, way too passive, in the past, way too massive
Takin' up the space, hot air balloons, so we're in Kansas
But I don't know what happened, did I lose the magic?
Helium and hot dogs, tryin' through this purple planet
But I'm way too up to come down, to music, to no sound
To live on the brown

I tried to catch a rainbow in the sky
But it's so high, so high, so high, so high
Maybe I should fly below, then again, that's way too low
Tryin' to catch a shootin' star, maybe have to go so far (remember)
But there's a rivet in the sky for our love, that's what Stevie say
Tryin' to get to the place up above, that's where heaven lay

Can I be honest? I'm so self-conscious, so self-conscious
So, so, so, so very smart, so, so, so, so very mighty
Lookin' in the mirror, I figure I can be honest
With the figure starin' back at me
The killer that's inside of my biggest dreams
Heart desire bleedin', ten toes down
Tears of a sad clown, my heart so broken, my vengeance

Remember the night
The night you said

My heart desire bleedin', ten toes down
Tears of a sad clown, my heart so broken, my attention in denial
The pieces that aren't beautiful are the pieces that need love now
The healing is so slow, the beatin' is so beat down
But how else will I grow if the shit only grows down?
How do I get there? How do I get out?

I'm a million miles from this place, but hey, I'm gettin' there
Tryin' to reach a star out in space
And I'm so unaware that I'm already who I'm climbin' towards
Been who I've been aimin' for
Pretty black and dope, not on dope and travelin' abroad
I got my clothes from malls with a thrift store scar

With a thrift store heart, with a Hermes bag
With a Walmart tag, tryna play my jazz
It don't matter where you got it, it ends up in the trash
Used like some shit you ain't never grabbed
Been a beautiful child, been so beautiful

Remember the night
When I held you in my arms
Remember
You made me promise that I'd love you
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
