When I was growing up, my mother used tell me right before I would walk out of the house, "Son, remember who you are'. I've spent my life trying to never forget. This is my personal reminder.
lyrics
VERSE 1
The knowledge unseen on the surface, gotta dig for it
You could kill a dream, that’ll make us live for it
I gotta a daughter, she’s a princess…long live the queen
And I’ll body anybody for her, nah mean
Brain power, never cower… always water our flowers
Until they grow to know the whole story, but mostly ours
Long live the king, X marks the spot… Marcus said to educate yourself from the start
Life long lessons learned from the old slave
The blood stained soaked soil spoke from the old grave
It said walk tall and look straight, you're the lineage of antiquity… know your place
Who built the pyramids, you will give our respect
Don’t give the credit to aliens, no we were the architects
And sweet little queen, you gotta know your worth
The power of your mind alone can reshape the earth
CHORUS
If you don’t know who you are, boy you better learn who
If you don’t know what you're worth, sister I will teach you
Remember who you are - x4
VERSE 2 (Kaimbr)
Kaim and wasn't afraid to get paid, soon as they started bubbling cane I switched states
Cause she ain’t want me to see the pain we might face
All she did was make a heart that won’t break, a little older I’ve been humbled by the faith
My hologram of life, is more like shades of grey
So I bathe in the sunshine, knowing that I’m god’s child
Everything i’ve been through, the good to the going wild
They could never hold me, cause Ion overstand them
So even when I fall, everything in me is standing
And I’ll admit its nothing short of hate
Thats why I see aside everything considered fake
And that includes the friends and the family
The energy, the music… everything to keep my sanity
Cause here on out, I’m all that I got
The ladder of success is never crowded at the top
If you don’t know who you are, boy you better learn who
If you don’t know what you're worth, sister I will teach you
Remember who you are - x4
