[Intro]

Check out and remember my name, my name

Said you gonna remember my name

[Hook]

If I'm alive or not, cold or hot

Block and guard my spot

Said you gonna remember my name

From the start 'til the end

Whether I lose or win

Family for a friend

You gonna remember my name

My name, my name yeah

Said you gonna remember my name

My name

Listen

I promise to be nothin' short of a G

Never beg for mercy, never seein' me flee

Got blood on my knife, got cash in my jeans

Did dirt in my life, havin nightmares in my dreams

I remember my father, I was watchin him suffer

Help me heavenly father don't let my life get rougher

And you gotta forgive me, I got alcohol in me

Even after I'm dead, niggas gon' never forgive me

I got homies I love that I lost in the game

In my mind they sayin "make 'em remember your name"

If they love you it's cool, give 'em a reason to hate you

I ain't chasin the fame

Said you gonna remember my name

[Hook]

If I'm alive or not, cold or hot

Block and guard my spot

Said you gonna remember my name

From the start 'til the end

Whether I lose or win

Family for a friend

You gonna remember my name

My name, my name yeah

Said you gonna remember my name

My name

Listen

Imagine a casket, imagine me in it

Now take your time and try to picture this kind of vision

My funeral, my homies dead, my momma cryin

My son is hurt, his daddy gone, now say goodbye

I'm just a memory, baby do you remember me?

Gave y'all all a good reason just to remember see

Now I'm reaching heavenly, I'ma leave a legacy

My niggas gonna swear on my name and pour out Hennessey

They gon' say I did it all, started out with mixin' crack

Look at that before he went to jail he ain't even rap

Came home in the street back up at the block again

Out of nowhere a street nigga killed the rap game

[Hook]

If I'm alive or not, cold or hot

Block and guard my spot

Said you gonna remember my name

From the start 'til the end

Whether I lose or win

Family for a friend

You gonna remember my name

My name, my name yeah

Said you gonna remember my name

My name

Left a mark in the hood, made a mark in the world

Went straight from the hood, to the top of the world

You can tell that I'm different; you can see that I lived it

When I'm gone you gon' remember me clearly and vivid

The face of a angel, the heart of a lion

Champion spirit, blessed with the will of surviving

You remember the face, you remember the game

When it's said and done

Said you gonna remember my name

[Hook]

If I'm alive or not, cold or hot

Block and guard my spot

Said you gonna remember my name

From the start 'til the end

Whether I lose or win

Family for a friend

You gonna remember my name

My name, my name yeah

Said you gonna remember my name

My name

[Outro]

I had big dreams of being a rapper

But the reality was I was being sucked back into the streets

And before I knew it, I was back in the hood
