Remember When

Lyrics

Just Move 2 Rise


Remember When

Aka, Deadbeat?


Remember when
that feeling came
Remember that pain, and the shame
you felt when reality smacked you dead in your face, and tears poured all over the place
Remember the intensity
Of the fear that went through your whole body,
Remember when that thought flashed in your head?
Begging, praying, wishing you were dead
Remember that feeling of never being their dad again?
Remember feeling like you were just a fake mother fucker,
and everything you say you hate.
Never forget how that feels.
The fear in your mind, the emptiness in your heart, and the fears that have torn you apart.
Do you really want to die with those regrets?
Remember how sick you were.
So sick you thought you might die and never make it back to be a Dad to your beautiful little girls again.
Remember those thoughts that were running nonstop in your mind?
Seeing your little girls growing up without you as their dad.
Because you were too weak to deal with life,
And to broken to stop using drugs
Man the fuck up,
And handle your fucking Responsibilities.
Always blaming your disabilities
Oh ya, there it is. Your praying to the God you have so much doubt about now ain't you? Ya, you think he's going to save you after the things you've said.
But you can't just sit and wait, you gotta take action. You gotta stand up and fight for what's right, for your daughters, for your life. It's never too late to start over, to make a change, to break the chains of the mental affliction or addiction and shame. It won't be easy, that's for sure,
but it will be worth it, don't you want something more?
Do you want to look back and regret all the time you wasted, all the love you never gave? So get up, get moving, and start living the life you want to live. Don't let fear and doubt hold you down, rise and be the Dad your daughters need around.
The Dad they deserve. Remember when, but look forward to the future, with hope and determination,
and never give up on yourself, no matter the situation.
