Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
I drew a 2 of hearts from a deck of cards
A stock trick from my empty repertoire
Another hopeless story never read at all
Im better off looking for the end where the credits are
Its a pain living life against the grain
Im looking back and yall look the same
Troy, Mark, and little whats his name
Memory is rerunning it all
Its the flight of my fall and its right on the wall

[Chorus]
I remember
Can you remember
How it was
I do
Remember
Do you
[x2]

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
I used to ride the train to the same two stops
And look at the graffiti on the rooftops
Like the same song playing on the jukebox
Joint called 'Faded Polaroids In A Shoebox'
Regardless to what the cadence is
It cant be forgotten like old acquaintances
I realize how depressing of a place it is
And when I notice my reflection whose face it is

[Chorus]
I remember
Can you remember
How it was
I do
Remember
Do you
[x4]

[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Its only human to express the way you really feel
But that same humanity is my Achilles heel
A leopard cant change his spots and never will
So Im forever ill, now I can never chill
Whats keeping me from breaking out like Benadryl
When my baptism of fire resulted in a kill
Sometimes its as cut and dry as a business deal
You gotta cause the blood of a close friend to spill
But you remember still
