Intro
Echoes in the hallway photographs that breathe
Some stains stay forever some leaves must leave
Remember Forget
The heart keeps its own ledger
Verse
Found that old mixtape dust on the plastic case
Pressed play click-hiss suddenly Im back in that place
Remember her braids smackin time with the bass
Forget how the end left cracks in the vase
Remember pops teachin chess moves on the porch
Forget the harsh words when the bottle took torch
Memorys a knife it can carve or it can gash
Some lessons stick fierce some pain turns to ash
Polaroids fade where the grins used to bloom
Do I box up the joy just cause it met doom
Nah hold the gold let the rust fall away
Survivin aint erasin the price that you pay
Chorus
What do we remember
What must we forget
The sun through the broken glass
Or just the silhouette
What stays engraved in stone
Whats carried then let go alone
Remember Forget
Verse
Forget the debts owed by ghosts in my past
Remember the strength built to make the peace last
Forget the betrayals that poisoned the trust
Remember the hands that still lifted me up
Therapy notepads filled with let go in ink
But remember the fire that made the soul think
Yeah trauma leaves fingerprints deep and defined
But wisdoms the scar showin light you refined
Cant delete the chapters that carved out the pain
Just rewrite the meaning let purpose remain
The art of release aint the same as defeat
Its curatin the gallery where sorrow and sweetness meet
Bridge:
Female: Do we bury or build upon the ache
Rapper: Keep the roots just prune for heaven's sake
Female: Can a wound become a compass true
Rapper: If it points you towards a brighter view
Together: Remember Forget Breathe
Chorus
What do we remember
What must we forget
The warmth before the embers
Not just the regret
What stays to make us whole
Whats freed to heal the soul
