Remember Me

Shouts to the weather man It's sunny everyday over here now Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Remember me when everything starts to look strange Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Forever I remain trapped in this rhyme page Cuz like you I was once flesh and blood Content with not having everything back when less was much Walked around oozing Hip-Hop like my flesh was cut A young'un presented with life lessons though the test was up That was 01' when I started writing raps Huge brown lyric book, titles was in upper caps I'd written Such A Beautiful Thing and some other raps Who knew life would leave a knife scar on my mother's back When my father died when he was done being some other guy That pretended to raise me while he made my mother cry Try to stop the hurt with rap is something that I would try Cuz I knew that I was here just not to be some other guy And that was it, that was the difference 'tween them and Tic That's the reason Zambia adjusts my seat before I sit It's the reason that I have them all convinced when I spit I just wanna be the greatest and that's it Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Remember me when everything starts to look strange Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Forever I remain trapped in this rhyme page And we started to record at some place and got kicked out and then studio time was hard to find and I remember sitting outside a studio somewhere and being given ten minutes to record. It wasn't the most pleasant of times but it was part of the process that shaped us I suppose so... I remember that Now I'm immortalised through these mortal lines That I sort of rhyme, I've been dope since daddy crossed the border line And I did it telling a story that's sort of mine Sort of everybody else's that feels so sublime I chose to rhyme like Pac and rhyme like Em Maybe you'd call me great if I rhymed like them Maybe I could go Diamond if I rhymed like Tehn Maybe I could fix the world through a rhyme my friend Maybe I could fix my mom and dad Maybe I could solve every problem they ever had Maybe whenever my sister's sad Maybe I could make her smile with a Victor track Maybe...hey, maybe Just maybe I guess Maybe I could have a shot if they paint me as fresh Maybe that Grammy is coming, Ticka, maybe you're next Maybe you might just survive if you play this roulette So remember me Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Remember me when everything starts to look strange Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Forever I remain trapped in this rhyme page Dreamers anonymous We try to change the world but they say something is wrong with us In all of these Andromedas And milky ways We pave a silk road with our silky ways Jah be praised for the clean clothes on our filthy days Leaves me dazed as I look back to easy days And I say please behave Don't get me nostalgic with your cheesy ways All I wanted was to be sure at least we safe All I wanted was to say that I rep my damn city And brother is my brother and my sister's damn pretty I've been trying to be the best since Naeto hollered Las Giddy I spent my last fifty trying to be some typr of Diddy And really the journey was the best part of it Had to make a song cuz I couldn't text all of it Now I call the shots jumping off collect call with it Watch this African boy buy the next car with it Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Remember me when everything starts to look strange Remember me, the kid with the odd surname Under moonlight practice for the ball game I was just like you up until it all changed Forever I remain trapped in this rhyme page
