Don’t Forget Who You Are is one of my favorite tracks off of Common’s new album A Beautiful Revolution Pt1. Everything about this song is beautiful! From the amazing production crafted by the great Robert Glasper. Anything Robert produces is soulful perfection. Common’s bars and delivery fit the vibes on this track perfectly but the icing on this cake are the addictive vocals by PJ. Her voice make this track transcend to higher heights. This might be my favorite song of 2020.
Lyrics:
Don’t forget who you are
Don’t forget who you are
You’re blessed with it
Baby, so marvelous
No one like you, just look around
Yeah, you’re too strong to turn around Don’t forget who you are
Don’t forget who you are Beautiful baby, I love you, baby
Pray these words may hug you, baby
Look into the mirror and say “I love you” daily
Remember your light when the world seem shady
You’re born with it, adorned with it
A gift to the world, go on, give it
Fearlessly made, no need to be afraid
Angels are with you, the path is laid
Waning thoughts of you being the star
Truly you’ll shine by seeing who you are
Reflections of you, reflections of me
The beauty more than any eyes can seeDon’t forget who you are
Don’t forget who you are
You’re blessed with it
Baby, so marvelous…
