Name Game (Remember)

I've been called many things for many reasons
Many men die in any season
I will be, I will be
Verse and chapter, forever after
In the midst of tears hear my laughter (oh we back on that again, huh?)
I will be, I will be (if they don't know you they don't know you)

I inspire a whole entire world
That lives like sopranos and the wire
Anthony fire, a mean player, hold your head you stay up?
Ain't a dream slayer, I'm a team player
Remember that one
Get torn like wet tissue
Remember names is the issue
Remember whether names or initials

DGH, OPP, uh, CGP, GSG
It's in the end, all we are
Till our RIP, don't start me out
Gotta hold your brain man, cause it is brain aid
Ain't nothing changed, it's still a fucking name game
They'll remember my name like a stripper knows a titty spot
Or like a gangster knows a city block
Whether I'm poor like November they'll remember
Like I'm a member of you know the name

I've been called many things for many reasons
Many men die in any season
I will be (remember remember)
I will be (remember remember)
Verse and chapter, forever after
In the midst of tears hear my laughter
I will be, (remember remember)
I will be, (remember remember)
I will be

Look at the gun, name the trigger
Look at the lane, name the nigga
Name the liquor from his last hiccup
(Remember) remember the rat like the jail you entered
(Remember) remember his name like the judge that sent ya
(Remember) remember the rulers remember the writers
(Remember) remember the voting, remember the rioters

(Remember) don't give the shirt off your back leave them naked
Don't ask for respect nigga, go and take it! (I will be)
I'm repping team Jersey
Make them remember your name
Like you were wearing a team jersey
On the back of it
Don't fall back to shit?

Ghetto activists
Want some bastard shit
It still is the same
Real in the game
Feeling my main instead of feeling my pain
I'm real in the game, Im dealing with gain
They gon' remember my name, believe that

I've been called many things for many reasons
Many men die in any season
I will be (remember remember)
I will be (remember remember)
Verse and chapter, forever after
In the midst of tears hear my laughter
I will be, (remember remember)
I will be, (remember remember)

I used to be known for selling good dope (I will be)
Suicide's a good road; for me, nope
Now I'm known for giving the hood hope
Cheated death to starve a face like a martyr
Here to give my final destination a harder departure
Bye negativity, I be known for being better me
Known to leave a long legacy
Cause we don't know what the future gives
You gon' remember my name
Like the feds know a fugitive

I've been called many things for many reasons
Many men die in any season
I will be (remember remember)
I will be (remember remember)
Verse and chapter, forever after
In the midst of tears hear my laughter
I will be, (remember remember)
I will be, (remember remember)
