Sly & The Family Stone - Remember Who You Are Lyrics






When we know we are hearing
Everything we say
What they think they're feeling
Are the games they think we play
And if you're like nobody
Remember you're nobody else, too
Know you tried too hard to get along
Then you're only bein' yourself

Remember who you are
Remember, that's who you will be
Remember who you are
Remember, that's the person
Who's gonna be free

When things seem so hazy
And facts attempt to blind
The few that think it's crazy
Confused with peace of mind
They must know you're hearing
Everything they say
Giving you more of a reason
To keep on goin' your way

Remember who you are
Remember who you are
Remember who you are
Remember who you are

Flirtin' with what you shouldn't
Very little chance to grow
Hurtin' when you know you wouldn't
No win, no place, no show
Somebody else's medicine
Could be a poison to you
But you can always bet it some
'Cause when yon play yon play

Remember who you are
Remember who you are
Remember who you are
Remember who you are
[fade]

  1. L.... M....

    Sly is just perfect to me. He is one of those celebs, I will argue and debate about till my point is heard and they know I'm correct lol

  2. H.... G....

    His message is clear, as always

  3. M.... Y....

    🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥

  4. m.... o....

    2:52-3:26 my fav part!!!

  5. W.... d....

    @pikxyful 💯🤟🏽.

  6. S.... P....

    When people keep on telling you what to do, and you see it leads to nowhere you want to go. Flirting with what you shouldn't Very little chance to grow You try to hard to get along then you know you have to be yourself. When things seem so hazy and facts get you blind the few who think it's crazy confuse you all the time…Just Remember Who You Are, hurting when you wouldn't no win, no place no show, somebody else's medicine could be poison to you, Sly, it the nail on the head, ya dig… peace

  7. K.... G....

    After hours it was cool

  8. S.... B....

    The first sample of this song was by Prince on Ballad Of Dorothy Parker

    S.... B....

    Sample not.. replayed

  9. h.... d....

    after hours. tribe called quest

  10. J.... W....

    Yeah, the Tribe sample is an easy one. But the vocal sample (then after hours, it was cool) is Richard Pryor. *sticks out tongue*

    J.... W....

    Let's not forget the Sugarhill Gang sample also! Freak freak fu fu fu fun fun!!

  11. G.... B....

    Afteer hours it was cool  YOU GOTTA

    G.... B....

    Grant Barnes GET OFF

    G.... B....

    Beat beat the funk the funk funk, beat beat the funk the funk fuuuuunnnkk

  12. G.... M....

    It's really impressive that the song Tribe did with this sample can hold it's own and is as good a song as the original.

  13. E.... ....

    I don't think Sly gets the credit he deserves.  Lots of musicians owe him lots. 

    E.... ....

    Sly should've kept it rockin' like Grateful Dead

    E.... ....

    I agree!

    E.... ....

    more important than the beatles

  14. m.... ....

    ya he and larry had a serious falling out. they had like, mafia wars and s^*t. ;)

  15. m.... ....

    how could even ONE person not "like" this.... weird. not "everyday" people up in heeya!

  16. G.... ....

    @ ROCKNROLLFAN, that's not Larry Graham on bass. Larry had his own thing going as a solo artist,when this was released. The person playing bass on this track was a protege of Larry Graham. His name is Keni Burke,from the group the Five Stairsteps.

  17. R.... ....

    as always.....4 words...LARRY GRAHAM ON BASS

    R.... ....

    Larry was long gone from the Family Stone by that point, ROCKNROLLFAN...he left the nest to form his own funk band, Graham Central Station, after a falling out with Sly.

  18. j.... W....
