Story behind the song
A song reminding you that you have it better than most people
Lyrics
I'm addressin' the world when I this stuff
This is for the people who think their life sucks coz they have it rough
But you should remember some things when ya goin through it
Things to consider, to again make ya life fluent
Ignorance and selfishness fill the earth we live in
So I've felt the need to tell it through rhyme and rhythm
When we think we're losin', we're actually winnin'
We have it better than most but we have chosen not to listen
What's needed from people is attention and time devotion
Coz too much sh** across the world goes unnoticed
It needs to be told coz we need to know this,
Noone's ever realised coz we look past whats shown to us
Like, "That ain't our country", or
"It doesn't matter coz I have a mum that loves me"
That's what really stumps me, ignorance when there's a kid blatantly hungry
Just remember there's someone worse, lend 'em ya jump leads
______________________________________________________________________________
CHORUS x 2
Just Remember,
If ya down and out and don't see an answer
Just Remember,
If ya can't meet the bills that they've sent ya
Just Remember,
Families lose kids to cancer
You need to remember there's always people feelin' even lesser
_____________________________________________________________________________
There's always times in our life where we don't know where to go
We cry in privacy coz we want noone to know
Times where sh** s so bad we just want to be left alone
Or you just can't pay the bill that's been racked up on ya phone
It's times like this that your oblivious to the world
The severity intensifies coz ya used to bein' with ya girl
In debt, or unemployed, the thought almost makes ya hurl
Just wishin' to be rich as a couple million pearls
Or maybe ya strugglin' on the streets, no home to possess
Findin' which shelter's the best, you can't handle the stress
No income so you steal to survive and save ya neck
Not in touch with ya family, coz you've lost their respect
In our lives, this sh** 's severe,
But people all over the world work a week to earn the price of chips or beer
I gotta make it crystal clear,
That you don't have the worst life, ya no where near
______________________________________________________________________________
CHORUS x 2
Just Remember,
If ya down and out and don't see an answer
Just Remember,
If ya can't meet the bills that they've sent ya
Just Remember,
Families lose kids to cancer
You need to remember there's always people feelin' even lesser

Over 25 thousand kids die everyday
Their families can't keep 'em livin' on minimal wage
Countless contract the AIDS, react and rage,
See 3rd world violence rise and population fade
No matter how hard we have it you need to stop and think
Drop the drink, at least you weren't the kid that needs fostering
We're late for work and worry what the boss will think
At least your not waking up from hearing shots ring-ing
All this song is trying to do is let you relax a notch
Many think they're feeling worst, but in fact your not
Don't need to trash the spot or harrass the cops
Don't take ya life for granted coz it's the last you've got
If ya losin' it you need to take notice of what I'm saying
Life is just a game that everybody's playing
You control ya life so you've only got you for the blaming
You've only got yourself, that's all I'm saying
