remember how i used to get, and used to be about us don't ya
remember my daily quotas, never be dancin with the cobras
remember my hunger? i was gluttonous and struttin
stuffin up my stomach lovin it, with crumbs on my upperlip
remember when we talked alot, formal or nonchalant
vocal or vocal chords cut like barbershops
young and less cocky i was, careless if you watch me
this joe was sloppy, underestimated like young spock
remember how much bigger, you really were to me
remember more than makin figures but for you my urgency
while it brings you most glory when in you i'm most satisfied
through the hands of time i saw me slippin but i let it slide
remember my, state of mind, and my former ways
it was like, not from this world that i was born and raised
remember when i felt what you felt, in every situation
sensitivity went on vacation, you know me too well
remember how i used to go to sleep and wakeup
remember before the gadgets when i loved the nature
major now was like the minor then
this old passion's like an old song just fading out
just thinkin bout the past gettin lost in the drums
tell me what's going on, i'm growin up but growin numb
