Reflections (i Remember) Lyrics - Mary J Blige

[Intro:] 

I remember [x7] 

[Verse 1:] 

Back before 

The record deal 

And the cars 

And the cribs 

And the way 

That things 

Took off 

I was signin' 

At Lucy's 

On 1-25th 

Just tryin' 

My best 

To get on 

Back when 

Me and Puff 

And B.I.G. 

Was kids 

And I knew 

Jodeci 

I was young 

And tough 

And fresh in love 

And it was 

All a dream 

Signing a contract 

No guiding light 

Just hopin' I 

I can get out 

The projects 

And get my 

Family right 

'Cause they 

Were my life 

In Red Zones 

In Bentley's 

You can 

Catch me 

Tryna do me 

I was jaded 

On the block 

I coulda faded 

On the block 

But I made it 

Off the block 

And I

[Chorus:] 

I remember 

Back when 

I didn't know 

Which way 

To live 

I remember 

Back when 

Pain was 

All I had 

To give 

The reflections 

Of my life 

Photos 

I see the 

Lessons that I've learned 

And now I know 

Heartbreak don't exist 

When it's been 

Torn apart 

By love 

[Verse 2:] 

I use to 

Throw a fit 

I use 

To shed 

A doubt 

And blame it 

On a man 

But that 

Was Mary than 

And this is 

Mary now 

You gotta understand 

It's about 

How we 

Respect ourselves 

And the men 

Have no control 

Of our self-esteem 

And when 

We see that 

Then we can 

Let go 

[Hook] 

[Bridge:] 

Now I made 

Some mistakes 

I lost some 

Friends along 

The way 

But I don't 

Carry it 

'Cause it 

Made me 

A better chick 

Its my life 

And I know 

That there's 

More for 

Me to see 

I may not be 

What I'm 

Suppose to 

But I can 

Tell you right now 

I ain't what 

I use to be 

[Hook] 

[Outro:] 

I remember [x7]
