How Do You Want to Be Remembered Lyrics

How Do You Want to Be Remembered?
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered?
When they're standing at your grave
On your tombstone, what is written?
Think about the steps you take

All my life I've been searching for the answers
How did I lose so much of the things that really mattered
Is there no paradise 'cause I feel no joy or laughter
Seems everything I touch only turns into disaster
So I ask myself.

How do you want to be remembered?
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered?
When your children come to aid
And they need some inspiration
Think about the steps you take

Do I reach for love only when she says she's leaving?
Do I pray above only when I feel I'm needed?
See I can't sleep at night, when my sheep turning to demons
There's no alibi when the jury knows your secret
So I ask myself.

How do you want to be remembered?
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered?
When your children come to aid
And they need some inspiration
Think about the steps you take

'Cause on the day when you face judgment
You better have your story straight
Were you a good friend and a husband
To the ones that give you love, love, love
Who you love, love, love, oh

How do you want to be remembered?
As a sinner or a saint, as a hero or a villain
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered?
When they're standing at your grave
On your tombstone, what is written?
Think about the steps you take

How do you want to be remembered?
How do you want to be remembered?
Think about the steps you take
How do you want to be remembered?
How do you want to be remembered?

How Do You Want to Be Remembered

This song is the closing track of Don't Kill the Magic, the debut studio album by Magic! The Canadian Reggae fusion band are fronted by hit-making producer Nasri Atweh (Justin Bieber's "Never Say Never," Chris Brown's "Next 2 You," Pitbull's "Feel This Moment").

Before this song came to the table, "One Woman One Man" was earmarked to be the closing track on Don't Kill The Magic. Atweh recalled to Artist Direct : "I was in Barcelona, working with Shakira. I ended up on her album. One of the days she wasn't there, I had this guitar and I thought, 'I want to do a James Taylor meets Bob Marley-esque melody.' We didn't have a hulky kind of song."

"I always had that melody in my head for 'How Do You Want To Be Remembered,' he continued. "I couldn't figure out the lyrics until after that. Once I figured out 'as a hero or a villain,' I was like, 'This is a song to inspire people.' Once I made that commitment to that, it just started to come to life."

"I went back to L.A. and said, 'Guys, we've got to do this song," Atweh added. "The guys loved it, and it was done. It was great because I really took the reins. It was the only one on the album where I was like, 'I really want to control this one. I have a vision for this. Let me run with it.' That's it. It just came together."

Nasri Atweh is generally a relaxed kind of guy, having learnt over time that there's nothing he can force and the decisions he makes affect the next ones. He sings here about his laid-back state of mind. "In that song, I'm saying, 'Think about the steps you take, because everything, there's cause and effect,'" Atweh explained to Spin magazine. "And I've been through enough and seen enough that now I could kind of see a little bit of the future from my actions. So I have nothing to worry about."

"I'm in a good headspace and my bandmates are smart and Sony Music and Latium are great," he added, "and I have a very good family and friends."

Mama Didn't Raise No Fool Lyrics

Woah (Oh)
Eh (Oh)

Mama says love is once in a lifetime
How you gonna find love and nights for the one time
See the thing about me, it's just not the right time
My mama says, "Son, you can't fight the sunshine"

I did not go, here tonight
To be struck by your light
But here I stand in your ?
Should I stay, should I go?

I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama Didn't Raise No Fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool

Woah (Thank you mama, thank you mama)
Eh (Thank you mama, thank you mama)

Mama says, "Lately I don't recognize you
But if this is who you want to be you've got the right to"
(You buried your heart so guilt could never find you)
Mama says, "Love will find the boy that I knew"

I did not come, here tonight
To be brought back to life
But here I stand in my greed
Second chance is your name

I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool

I loved you since I said, "Hello"
I need you much more than I know
I did not come, here tonight
To be struck by your light
But here I stand in your ?
Should I stay or should I go?

I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
I want to run, I want to run from you
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool

Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool
Mama didn't raise, mama didn't raise, no
Mama didn't raise no fool

Mama Didn't Raise No Fool

Magic! is a Canadian reggae-pop band based in California. They are fronted by producer Nasri Atweh, who is best known for his pop resume having co-penned hits for the likes of Justin Bieber ("Never Say Never") Chris Brown ("Next 2 You") and Pitbull "Feel This Moment"). He recalled to Billboard magazine in June 2014, "Four or five years ago, I want[ed] to do this Police thing. So we did this song 'Mama Didn't Raise No Fool.'"

"For years, everybody would say, 'That song is crazy. You should do this style,'" Atweh added: "I'd go, 'I'll never find the right musicians.' But, I met [Magic! guitarist Mark Pelli] and the rest is history."

Don't Kill the Magic Lyrics

If you want space (you could have it)
If you want change (you could have it)
Sleep on your bed (you could have it)
Bullet to my head (you could have it)

If you want love! (you could have it)
The way that you love (you could have it)
If you want time (you could have it)
I’ll tell you no lie (you could have it)

Just don’t kill, don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
Just don’t kill, don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
I’m not ready to give up just yet
We could stay until we both forget
So baby, don’t kill, (don’t kill) don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
Ooh

If you want space (you could have it)
If you want change (I’ll make it drastic)
Sleep on your bed (I’ll be your mattress)
Bullet to my head (you could blast it)

Oh if you want love! (I’ll be tragic)
The way that you love (I can match it)
If you want time (I’ll be elastic)
Tell you no lie (You can have it)
No lieee

Just don’t kill, don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
Just don’t kill, don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
I’m not ready to give up just yet
We could stay until we both forget
So baby, don’t kill, (don’t kill) don’t kill the magic (ohhh)

Take my arms, take my legs, take my vision
Take my tongue, take my lungs, if you need it
Hold my knees, hold my knees, hold my knees, I beg
Hey ey ey ey ey

You know I said I’m trying fix this baby
Let me be in my heart God’s pleasure
I will do, I will do anything instead

Just don’t kill, don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
Just don’t kill, don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
I’m not ready to give up just yet
We could stay until we both forget
So baby, don’t kill, (don’t kill) don’t kill the magic (ohhh)
You could have it, you could have it
You could have it, you could have it
You could have it, you could have it

Don't Kill the Magic

Magic! took their name from this song, which also acts as the title track of their debut album. Frontman Nasri Atweh explained to Spin magazine: "It was one of the first songs we wrote, in the first two weeks of songwriting when we first came together. And it felt kind of magical, the connection between us. That is the connection of music for us, it's magical."

The exclamation point in the band's name came from Nasri's producer and sonwriting partner, Adam Messinger. The frontman told Spin: "He was like, 'You guys should do something else to the word 'Magic' and he sarcastically drew an exclamation. We were like, 'Eh, looks good to us.' We just rolled with it."
