Memories (Part II) - Big Sean, John Legend

Sometimes I dream bigger than I live

Sometimes I think better when I’m lit

So go on and light it

Roll it up, ignite it

One time for all my niggas that dreamed it than real life’d it

I swear I’ve been through everything in life but a coffin

They say sky’s the limit, how bitch?

I’m moonwalking

And my middle name Michael, ho

Success is my idol and being broke is my rival

But it’s cool because I got the title, ho

See I just want my fantasies in real life

You got everything tell me what it feel like

Motherfuck the radio if I can’t hear mine

They give the wrong people more airtime than airlines

Is you feeling me?

If not you feel my energy

See I know I’ma make it, but even if I don’t

Don’t feel bad cause honestly all these times that I had

Those will be the best memories

Let’s reminisce on the good times and the bad

Be the best memories

I hope that you remember me

Reflect on everything we missed

Cause you know we’ll never get it back

These will be the best memories

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories

Cause in the end all you really have is memories

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories

Are you willing to give up what you love, for who you love

Or lose your girlfirend to groupie love

Everywhere I go I get a group of hugs

That’s what happens when they need connections and you the plug

How many trends you gotta set til you considered great?

How many missed calls til you considered fake?

How many dreams til it’s considered fate?

I’m eating in a world where I’m considered bait

A workaholic addicted to bills

People addicted to me cause they addicted to real

My best friend got addicted to pills

I can’t look at him in his eyes

You don’t know how that shit feels mentally

I ain’t trying to rock no shirts that say in memory

I’m praying that he make it, wishing we could go back

Cause honestly all the times that we had

Those will be the best memories

Let’s reminisce on the good times and the bad

Be the best memories

I hope that you remember me

Reflect on everything we missed

Cause you know we’ll never get it back

These will be the best memories

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories

Cause in the end all you really have is memories

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories

Sometimes reality checks are too big to be cashed

Mailed one when I heard Unique had died in that crash

Seems like yesterday I just seen her smile and laugh

I’m stressing over little shit

When I should be happy I can

They say my music beating, cause I follow my heart

I always have faith, light will swallow the dark

Hurtin' with my Mama looking at cribs we can’t purchase

Houses bigger than the Palace

But she a queen, so she deserve it

So I’m focused, they try to throw me off track

But they just hurdles, I’m marathoning

To the money and you just running off in a circle

I’m huddled up with my team, in other words my inner circle

Fast forward a few years later

Now we the fucking winner’s circle

Remember the first time I was rhyming for Kan

Almost as nervous as the first time I rhymed for my mom

Sold out the theater downtown, she said it was perfect

But I already dreamed it

So it felt like I rehearsed it

Much as my grandma took care of me since I was birthed

Sad I used to steal twenty dollar bill right out her purses

No I ain’t perfect, tryna make a gift out of a curse

Life out of a hearse

And if I die first then I have the memories

Let’s reminisce on the good times and the bad

Be the best memories

I hope that you remember me

Reflect on everything we missed

Cause you know we’ll never get it back

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories

Let’s reminisce on the good times and the bad

Reflect on everything we missed

Cause you know we’ll never get it back

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories

Woah woah, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh, the memories
