Wake up and smell the Wednesday: it's halfway to the weekend!
Buat lo yang suka banget nongkrong di TikTok, familiar ga dengan lirik yang lagi sering muncul nih di FYP yang bunyinya “You know me , You know me”? Inget gak kalau itu lagu yang dirilis The Weeknd sekitar 7 tahun lalu loh. Emang ya, TikTok bisa banget bikin lagu-lagu yang udah tenggelam populer lagi.
Lagu Reminder sudah dirilis The Weeknd dari tahun 2016 yang merupakan salah satu track di albumnya bertajuk Starboy. Kemudian di tahun 2017, The Weeknd merilis versi Reminder Remix yang berkolaborasi dengan dua rapper Amerika, ASAP Rocky dan Young Thug. Kedua versi menurut gue sama-sama punya beat yang catchy dan head-bopping banget sih.
Lagu Reminder sebenernya unik loh dari segi lirik dibandingkan lagu-lagunya yang lain di Album Starboy. Well, lagu-lagu doi yang lain biasanya liriknya fokus ke hal yang berbau 21+ lah ya tapi untuk lagu Reminder berfokus pada definisi dirnyai dalam kaitannya dengan industri musik. Basically sih lagu ini ditulis agar pendengar bisa mengenal The Weeknd lebih dalam dan mengenal karakternya Starboy.
Anyway, let’s bop our head together to this banger!
Lirik Lagu Reminder - The Weeknd
Record man play my song on the radio
You too busy tryna find that blue-eyed soul
I let my black hair grow and my weed smoke
And I swear too much on the regular
We gon' let them hits fly, we gon' let it go
If it ain't XO then it gotta go
I just won a new award for a kids show
Talkin' 'bout a face numbin' off a bag of blow
I'm like goddamn bitch, I am not a Teen Choice
Goddamn bitch, I am not a bleach boy
Whip game, make a nigga understand though
Got that Hannibal, Silence of the Lambo
Hit the gas so hard make it rotate (rotate)
All my niggas blew up like a propane (propane)
All these R&B niggas be so lame
Got a sweet Asian chick,
she go low mane
(lo Mein, oh, oh, oh)
You know me
(know me, na, na, na, na, na)
You know me
(know me, know me, oh, oh, oh)
You know me
(know me, know me, na, na, na, na, na)
Every time you try to forget who I am
I'll be right there to remind you again
You know me (know me, pow, pow)
You know me (know me, oh, yeah)
Said I'm just tryna swim in
somethin' wetter than the ocean
Faded off a double cup,
I'm mixin' up the potion
All I wanna do is make that
money and make dope shit
It just seem like niggas
tryna sound like all my old shit
Everybody knows it, all
these niggas know me
Platinum off a mixtape,
sippin' on that codeine
Pour it in my trophies,
rollin' 'til my nose bleed
I'ma keep on singin' while
I'm burnin' up that OG
All my niggas get it, they
make money all alone
Rock a chain around they neck,
makin' sure I'm gettin' home
When I travel 'round the globe,
make a couple mil' a show
And I come back to my city,
I fuck every girl I know
Used to walk around with a slouch,
had a mattress on the floor
Now my shit straight
Eatin' all day, tryna lose weight
That good sex, we'll sweat it out
Hotel bedsprings we'll wear it out
I ain't gotta tell you 'cause
You know me (oh, oh, oh)
You know me (know me, na, na, na, na, na)
You know me (know me, know me, oh, oh, oh)
You know me (know me, know me na, na, na, na, na)
Every time you try to forget who I am
(try to forget who I am)
I'll be right there to remind you again (hey)
You know me (know me, pow, pow)
You know me (know me, know me)
Why don't you shake somethin',
shake somethin'
For the Don, don't you break nothin',
break nothin'
Baby girl, won't you work somethin',
work somethin'
For the Don, don't you hurt nothin',
hurt nothin'
Baby girl, won't you shake somethin',
shake somethin'
For the Don, don't you break nothin',
break nothin' (break)
Baby girl, won't you work somethin',
work somethin' (work)
For the Don, don't you hurt nothin',
hurt nothin'
'Cause you know me, they know me
You are a no-man, yeah, you know man
Oh, oh, oh, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, na, na, na, na, na
