[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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
Wade in thoughts of you being the star
Truly you'll shine by seeing who you arе
Reflections of you, reflеctions of me
The beauty more than any eyes can see

[Chorus]
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget who you are
You're blessed with it
Baby, so marvellous
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

[Verse 2]
A precious jewel you are
Don't forget who and whose you are
Made in his likeness yeah, you're different
Uniquely specific, young and gifted
You see that in another then you gotta uplift it
Your hair, your skin, the way the sun-kissed it
Mystical momma, beautiful boy
Your life is a story for you to enjoy
Wherever you stand, stand in you, stand in love, stand in joy
Stand and do everything that you ever dreamed you'd do
Your voice is yours, it will sing to you

[Chorus]
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 (Don't forget who you are)

Common

Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr. (born March 13, 1972), better known by his stage name Common (previously Common Sense), is a Grammy and Oscar-winning rapper and actor from Chicago, Illinois. Common’s inspired mix of poetic flow and hip-hop soul has helped him earn his status as one of the most respected rappers in the game.

After being a ball boy for his hometown Chicago Bulls as a teen and attending Florida A&M University for business administration, Common Sense kicked in and he left school to become a rapper. He gained national attention after being featured in the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine in 1991. He released his debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar? through Relativity Records in 1992, followed by his breakthrough second album Resurrection in 1994, which features his hip-hop classic single “I Used To Love H.E.R.”

As his career began to take off, he was sued by the music group Common Sense over the name, leading Common to drop the “Sense” and allude to the change in the title of his third album, One Day It’ll All Make Sense (1997). He has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Like Water For Chocolate (2000), which features his J Dilla-produced hit single “The Light”, and Be (2005), which was released under fellow Chicago musician Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint. He also joined musicians Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper to form the group August Greene, and the trio released their self-titled album in 2018.
