Remember The Name Ft Maimouna Youssef

from Radio Ready by Javier Starks

/

lyrics

I was taught to take chances, can't play it too safe... chase dreams, live before it's too late...yo i swear life's too cray! Very little room for sleep cause death's like a roommate...

I'm from a hood where few escape, and being poor was heavy on my mind so I learned how to move weight!

In the suburbs, moco too paid, not real here, best friend'll be two faced!

so high yo we blew jays brain so gone off that loud pack mind need a suitcase...

Yo that's how I used do things, I'm amazed when I they tell me who changed, cause I remember the times!

CHORUS

I remember the days...

I remember the pain

Won't stop till they know my name!

I remember the times...

I remember the days...

I remember the pain

Now the world fin to know my name!
I remember the times...

VERSE 2

I remember being homeless, you ever slept outside!? no where to go from the north to the south side...

Living off scraps, begging for handouts God... forgetting everything you know about pride...

Never had fresh gear, never had fresh kicks soap opera skits young and the restless...

Trying not to get arrested, feeling trapped picturing star status, netflicks!

These haters should just quit, frontin like I ain't supposed to be here I guess I'm on the guestlist...

I'm careless could careless about your judgement, and failing's out of the question! I remember the times!

CHORUSE

I remember the times...

I remember the days...

I remember the pain

Won't stop till they know my name!

I remember the times...

I remember the days...

I remember the pain

Now the world fin to know my name!
I remember the times...

Verse 3

Yo! My past is behind me, logically the hustlers have to admire me I'm obviously the last of a dying breed...

climb to the highest peak, or till people say he need to leave the game entirely, either way I'll die a G!!

picture the encore... They couldn't walk a mile in my shoes but I'd die for'm like the conchords

They say I'm on course, a monster who's still on his grind boy it's the only thing I'm designed for

crazy!! how the ends I made meet, plenty of enemies who envy or hate me, see to them Ima say peace like dame and jayz making money but never letting it change me!!

Smh, I remember the times...

CHORUS

I remember the times...

I remember the days...

I remember the pain

Won't stop till they know my name!

I remember the times...

I remember the days...

I remember the pain

Now the world fin to know my name!
I remember the times...
