Remember My Name

[Intro]
They gon’
They gon’
They gon’ remember my name (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Came from the gravel and glass
Holes in my shoes, still fast
Mama said “boy, don’t crash”
I just learned how to swerve past
Late nights, brown bag in the alley
Whole block know me, I’m the tally
Every L turned ink in the tally
Every scar now part of my salary
Talk cheap, we don’t bargain with fear
I was broke, now I’m carving a tier
They was laughing, parking in rear
Now they waving, hearts full of cheer (fake)
[Chorus]
You gon’ remember my name (my name)
Carved in the concrete, cut in the grain (yeah)
Came from the mud and the flame
If you don’t love me, at least
You gon’ remember my name (remember my name)
You gon’ remember my name (say it again)
Every loss, every pain
All that dirt on me made
You gon’ remember my name
[Verse 2]
Eyes on the prize, no blink
Still sharp when I’m close to the brink
Turned hunger to hustle, to ink
Turned doubt to a throne on the sink
Still see that eviction note
On the door like a joke that choke
I was broke, had to fix that hope
Now the same lil’ kid write quotes they quote
Talk to myself in the mirror
“Stand tall, boy, bring that terror”
Gold heart, but my vision clearer
All that hate just a loud, small error
[Chorus]
You gon’ remember my name (my name)
Carved in the concrete, cut in the grain
Came from the mud and the flame
If you don’t love me, at least
You gon’ remember my name (remember my name)
You gon’ remember my name
Every loss, every pain
All that dirt on me made
You gon’ remember my name
[Bridge]
They wrote me off, now they write me checks (checks)
Used to dodge calls, now they send respects
I don’t want friends that were never in the rain
Stand in the storm, then you get to share the name (yeah)
[Chorus]
You gon’ remember my name (my name)
Carved in the concrete, cut in the grain
Came from the mud and the flame
If you don’t love me, at least
You gon’ remember my name (remember my name)
You gon’ remember my name (oh)
Every loss, every pain
All that dirt on me made
You gon’ remember my name

Hook explodes with stacked chants and call‑and‑response ad-libs, then drops back to lean, dark space on the verses. Subtle choir stabs and filtered piano add drama on the hook, final chorus rides out with extra ad-libs and drops., hip hop
