Remember The Name

Lyrics

[Intro: E.L] Okay, this was around 2008 Right after I finished college, you know I was frustrated because I couldn't get a job And um, I found myself like, moving from one place to another, you know Just, I leave home in the morning because my folks didn't want to see me just sitting at home So you know, I just roam around And I found myself at this hotel And uh, crept in a corner, found some corner to sit in And I was just watching this guy, this white guy He was you know, an older guy He was about maybe in his fifties or something and You could tell that this guy was well-to-do you know He was, he was well dressed You could see he was reading his magazines Just sipping on, whatever He was you know, he was just having a good time And I could tell this guy was successful So, I mustered up a little courage and in my frustration as well walked up to him And he saw me approaching and you know, he was a little apprehensive And I was like "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" And he looked up at me and said "No, I'm sorry. I don't have an..." I was like "Yo, this'll just take two minutes. Two minutes of your time. I just need to know something." Then he says "Okay, what?" And I asked him "How'd you get successful?, how'd you get rich?." And this man looked at me and said "Look, if you wanna be rich, just spend time with rich people" You know? [Verse 1: E.L] Lomi, listen How ain't things straight when you got a crooked mind Every rhyme that I kick's a blind I'm sick of tryna make niggas realize I'm a - Shit, let's get it back It's jump-rope how I'm skipping lines, let's get it back My time on earth will be documented My songs famed and my bars remembered Though I do not get the credit I deserve I am not offended My legacy will not be open-ended Legendary status is the ambition, yeah You see my actions but my plans different, yeah A man's wisdom through his transitions make him clandestine when he plans business, man listen, yeah I spend time only with rich niggas, yeah 'Cause I know success is infectious, yeah They said money can't buy you happiness I told 'em you were never truly poor Give all your riches away chale Prove me wrong [Hook: Jean Feier] I've been down so many times I've seen hell in the eyes of 'man beings You cannot blow my mind Story, story, don't you watch yeah There's no wonder They gon' remember the name There's no wonder They gon' remember the name [Verse 2: Fu] Uh, these sweet 16's, they come pieced with the sweetest schemes The suite life seems like a reach but the dream still screens Yah, believe that Been cut a thousand times without bleeding I don't need a reason to do it for myself The rest of y'all can wait See first, I gotta make sure I can eat And then you get a plate They say the name mean something so you gotta pick it right Okay, I pick two simple letters, anybody, any time of day This is not a phase dummy Or a game to be played Pick your cousins if you're looking for your mates I'm estranged, this is eight hunnid This is me in your face Made you look Nasty bitch, you could tell from the fade What you gain from it? What you gain from a name if its not what they call at the end of the day What's your name honey? Will they know who you are? Will they shout that you're second to none? [Hook: Jean Feier & Recognize Ali] I've been down so many times I've seen hell in the eyes of 'man beings You cannot blow my mind Story, story, don't you watch yeah There's no wonder They gon' remember the name Yeah waddup? There's no wonder Recognize They gon' remember the name [Verse 3: Recognize Ali] Yo, I'm still the illest motherfucker to do it Top 10, dead or alive, the rhyming is fluent Check the way that I spew it, I been flowing like fluid Then I build with the truest, I'm underground like sewers You knew this Like all the tracks I kill beats, audio Herod My light is too bright, lose your sight when you stare on Came through in the bare of night nigga But you dead wrong for thinking you can spawn with the god Now your head gone Catching bodies like [?] then my shit colossal I'm the lyrical dragon, spit fire on records like Jah-rah Silence all on the bench till I appear like Benny Buckle While you strip with some Africans, you just straight outta Congo A thousand rhymes, what you find in every bar Man fuck sitting on the throne, bow before the god The only true god MC in the GH, ha! Hip-hop is me, son, I'm bigger than GH rap [Hook: Jean Feier] I've been down so many times I've seen hell in the eyes of 'man beings You cannot blow my mind Story, story, don't you watch yeah There's no wonder They gon' remember the name There's no wonder They gon' remember the name I've been down so many times I've seen hell in the eyes of 'man beings You cannot blow my mind Story, story, don't you watch yeah There's no wonder They gon' remember the name There's no wonder They gon' remember the name
