[INTRO]
Woo!
‘Memba that time
‘Mem, ‘memba that
‘Mem, ‘memba that time
‘Mem, ‘memba that time
‘Mem, ‘memba that time
[Hook]
I ‘memba that time that you threw me away
I ‘memba that time I couldn’t be in your space
I ‘memba that time that you was outta line
I ‘memba that time so I’m going for mine
I ‘memba that time that you threw me away
I ‘memba that time I couldn’t be in your space
I ‘memba that time that you was outta line
I ‘memba that time so I’m going for mine
[Verse 1]
I was a shy boy
Had no voice
I was quiet when y’all was makin’ a lot of noise
I was invisible, I ain’t have no choice
You ain’t see me then, now you screaming we see you boy
‘Cause you see me pull up in a Rolls-Royce
You can’t touch this, MC Hammer voice
Simon says get to the back
What’cha movin’ for
Stay where the fuck you at
Don’t be a groupie in a hooptie
Talkin’ bout don’t you remember when you knew me
My mind is playing tricks on my memory
Don’t remember you being this nice to me
You ain’t have a problem being the enemy
So keep that same energy
Keep that same energy
Don’t be gettin’ close to me
You on trial and I’m the judge
Shhhhhhh, you n***as need to hush
Nah, I ain’t got no grudge
I’m just letting you know what’s up
[Chorus]
I just ‘memba that
I just, I just ‘memba that
When you tried to play me
To the back
I just ‘memba that
I just, I just ‘memba that
Nah motherfucker, I ain’t neva gonna forget I just ‘memba that
I just, I just ‘memba that
When you tried to play me
To the back
I just ‘memba that
I just, I just ‘memba that
Nah motherfucker, I ain’t neva gonna forget
[Hook]
I ‘memba that time that you threw me away
I ‘memba that time I couldn’t be in your space
I ‘memba that time that you was outta line
I ‘memba that time so I’m going for mine
I ‘memba that time that you threw me away
I ‘memba that time I couldn’t be in your space
I ‘memba that time that you was outta line
I ‘memba that time so I’m going for mine
[Verse 2]
I ain’t acting brand new
Just being true (Just being true)
To all the shit that you said that I couldn’t do (Couldn’t do)
Now you lookin’ at me like I’m a fool (Like I’m a fool)

And when you do make sure you give ’em facts (Give ‘em facts)
Make sure you don’t leave nothin’ out (Nothin’ out)
Make sure you know what’chu talkin’ bout (Talkin’ bout, talkin’ bout)

You other motherfuckers tryin’ to figure it out (Figure it out)
I know that you want to slow me down but Sway, how? (Slow me down but Sway, how?)

Ahht, ahht, you can’t fuck with me now (Can’t fuck with me now)

[Pre Chorus]
I remember the way
You used to play me
[Chorus]
I just ‘memba that

[Pre Chorus]

[Outro]
You know, when I sit back and think about it all, I really lost a lot of people. People that I considered friends walked away from me in my darkest moments. Lost family members who didn’t see me as good enough, people that I thought actually care about me. Damn I lost a lot
