I remember the day I moved away
Mum in tears all the fears
Of the world was upon her
Kissed her gently on the cheek
Said I love you and we cool
You have my word
That I'll call you when I land
I couldn't describe the pain I felt
Seeing my mum like that
Couldn't even look back
Heart breaking soul shaking
Feeling my heart overtaking my mind
Forsaken
Is that what I did?
Just desert the ones I love
How could I do it?
Is that what it is?
The wage of independence
That it's taking on my soul?
What if? What else? What else could happen?
Can I look myself in the mirror?
Knowing my big bro was left on his own
To protect and provide for my sister at home
And even though we far apart
Say you won't forget me nah
I pray that you'll remember me
Won't forget me nope
And even when all's said and done
At the end of the day
I pray that you'll remember me
Lord this I pray
And not a days gone by
That you weren't on my mind
The struggle was real
The pain I feel I conceal
First 3 years went by
I came back each time
But it was friends over family
Destroying my mind
And going to my family
But not really seeing them
And not appreciating them
And treat em like they worth
And being with friend and girls
Was like cocaine for my mind
Side effects made me blind
Leaving my family behind
And now my brother calls me up
Just to tell me he miss me
He ask about my struggles
Cause he want to assist me
And I try to call my sister
Now I get her or I don't
She's got a busy life now
I missed her growing up
And it brings me to tears
Just to see what I've missed
Birthdays and holidays
I didn't see the twist
That I close my eyes at night
When I lay down to sleep
And in my dreams I see their faces
They telling me not to grieve
And even though we far apart
Say you won't forget me nah
I pray that you'll remember me
Won't forget me nope
And even when all's said and done
At the end of the day
I pray that you'll remember me
Lord this I pray
Now I've come to my senses
See my family with love
Laying down my defenses
Thought this whole time
I was running from my old life
Now understanding that I've died
And using Christ as my guide
My love for my mother
And my love for my dad
You know it never faltered
Though your marriage ended bad
I applauded the divorce
It was the end of my pain
But you needed my support
A celebration in vain
I wanna mend the fences
All the pain that I've caused
Wanna show you all the love
That I'm receiving from God
He took my screw up of a life
And showed me that it was beautiful
My love for you will never be defeated
We are crucible
This life is short this
And life is hard
Sometimes sitting in my in zone
Fighting for extra yards
But I know that when it over
And they lay me down to sleep
My family will have fond memories
Of how they remember me
And even though we far apart
Say you won't forget me nah
I pray that you'll remember me
Won't forget me nope
And even when all's said and done
At the end of the day
I pray that you'll remember me
Lord this I pray
