Timing of Remember Lyrics:
Running time: 4:29
Introduction: 0:13 seconds
I hope you're proud of me -0:15
Dude I grew to be -0:17
Ingenuity influenced by your eulogy -0:20
Going through memories -0:22
Like they're were movies scenes -0:24
I know I've been the shit -0:25
All these people fooling me -0:27
I'll admit I guess I'm full of myself too -0:28
There's just a bunch of shit -0:30
I wish i could tell you -0:32
This life move's fast, I never knew that -0:34
Yours wouldn't have lasted -0:37
The dirt hitting your casket, like raindrops - 0:39
I swear I'll let you know when the pain stops – 0:41
For now I need to run to to any place the train stops -0:44
And everybody wanna talk to me about some business shit – 0:47
Never really listening, couldn't get real interested – 0:51
My days get darker, so the haze get sparked up – 0:54
All this hate, sound the same when my name get brought up – 0:57
You had a girl, I kinda wish you knocked her up – 1:01
So I could meet your son and talk you up (Talk you up) – 1:09
1:22
I remember when we were just kids – 1:28
We knew nothing at all – 1:31
We'd talk about the life we lived – 1:34
West Virginia – 1:38
Lost somewhere out in – 1:43
West Virginia – 1:46
2:02
It's a dark science, when you're friends start dying – 2:06
Like how could he go, he was part lion – 2:09
Life goes on, tears all dryed in - 2:13
Couple years are gon' by, bye then – 2:16
Can you please tell me help me find my friend 2:19
I'll give you anything you need multiplied by ten – 2:23
I heard he moved to a place where the time don't end – 2:26
You don't need money, all you got is time to spend – 2:30
Life is short, don't ever question the lengths – 2:34
It's cool to cry, don't ever question your strength – 2:37
I recommend no limits, intricate thought, go 'head just give it a shot – 2:42
You'll remember shit you've forgot – 2:44
'Cause way back then I didn't know shit – 2:48
And I don't know shit now – 2:51
And when the whole world is looking hopeless – 2:54
I'mma still hold shit down – 2:58
3:12
I remember when we were just kids – 3:18
We knew nothing at all – 3:22
We'd talk about the life we lived – 3:24
West Virginia, lost somewhere out in – 3:33
West Virginia – 3:35
From my own perspective, I think that this song is about living life to the full, enjoying it, appreciating what and who you have. Reuben had a short 20 year life and he was taken suddenly and throughout this song Mac reinforces the fact that life is short and it goes too fast. The fact that he's looking through memories shows that he misses the time spent with his friend and how valuable it is to have time with your loved ones keeping them as close as you can.
