De La Soul - Memory Of... (Us) lyrics

[Hook: Estelle] And it's so easy to fall back to the memory of And it's easy to recall the good and fall into place But you're not easy to love I love the memory of... I remember your face, I remember your way [Verse 1: Estelle] I remember you now Part of my existence I remember your face You came in and got me All in a day Yeah, all in a day I remember your lips Do you remember the taste? Remember family names Your child, my child, our child Whitney and Dwayne Different to my world now Remember the way You gripped my hips so tight now? Slow up the pace Maybe erase, don't remember my words [Hook: Estelle] Cause it's so easy to fall back to the memory of And it's easy to recall the good and fall into place But you're not easy to love I love the memory of... I remember your face, I remember your way [Verse 2: Posdnuos] How could I forget? A ballad was born upon a demo of a fly love song Didn't take long before the archer with the wings heard it Shot us in the heart with a contract, he knew we were a hit The right amount of soul with a parallel amount of grit But the archer couldn't see the target of departure Gave in your pink slip and called it quits It's understood you would Label me a mate who wronged you Cause I kept wanting to feature With them other females on they songs too Your words spoken in mono for monogamy Telling me I had to go cause I chose Stereo for stereotypical male biology And now I'm left setting traps For you to fall in for me again Who hates you to tell me "Slow up the pace, maybe erase, don't…" [Bridge: Estelle] Slow up the pace Maybe erase, don't remember my words [Hook: Estelle] Cause it's so easy to fall back to the memory of And it's easy to recall the good and fall into place But you're not easy to love I love the memory of... [Verse 3: Dave] Our last trip to Vegas had me feeling like we had a chance But chance just showed up at the wedding I guess I didn't read the heading "Forgive and won't erase the bitter past" But I ain't up for kissing a** I bought you everything your pretty feet could fit in Put you behind the finest steering wheels Fearing you would drive a n***a crazy Told you grow up, but sh**, you was my baby Bits and pieces never made nothing decent When I accommodated you, you played me like a stranger [Bridge: Estelle] I remember you now (Accountability is major) A part of what I did then Remember your face Just don't let me trip over memory lane Cause time can't be replaced And I don't want to stay [Hook: Estelle] Cause, oh, it's so easy to fall back to the memory of And it's so dah-dah-dee-dah Dah-dah-dah-dah-dee-dah It's so easy to fall In dah-dah-dah-dah-dee-dah Remember your way Remember your way [Adlib: Posdnuos] It's De La featuring Estelle With the Soul Brother Pete Rock
