[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
