I was six years old when I fell down on Spencer Avenue

It was my Aunt, Suzy's house, and I still can see the bruise

I remember Grand Daddy and even though I never sat on his knee

He taught me life is culture, baby My Uncle David, they call him Jello, the only man that could say hello

And it sound like angels singing in your ears

And even though they all passed away, I still long for their company

And I wonder God, why couldn't they stay So I gotta remember, though I'm young

That my time will surely come

And now I gotta try to keep it together

As I watch my family pass me by So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, remember, remember

So remember, so remember, so remember your family I was twelve years old when my Uncle Andrew had got sick

And jaundice turn to HIV and then his body quit

It was strange the numbness I felt, watching him all dressed in black

Wasn't thinking about what he gave up but about all that I lacked So I gotta believe, that if I give

I can live through eternity

And I gotta know, if I don't share myself

Know one will ever So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, remember, remember

So remember, so remember, so remember your family

Remember So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, remember, remember

So remember, so remember, so remember your family I always, remember what my Mama told me

I always, always take the bitter with the sweet

I always, remember what Auntie taught me

I always, even when it's hard be a lady, baby I always, remember what Grand Daddy said

I always, you got to lay in the bed you make

I always, remember what my Uncle taught me

I always, don't give up when it gets hard keep pushing, baby And you got to, remember everything they taught you

And you got to, hold on what is true

And you got to, never forget where you coming from

And you got to, and you got to, and remember Remember, remember, I said one more time, remember So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, so remember, so remember

So remember, remember, remember
