I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why Remember the day, 'member the play 'Member the way we use to say Di-di-di-da-di-di-di-di-da-di-day Remember the jams, 'member the plans 'Member the plans you made with your man Maybe you can or maybe you cannot Remember the architects of hip hop It's really hard to forget about 2Pac Respect is what the Crash Crew got Better we ask you not To recite the history of hip hop on the block You can forget about Grandmaster Flash if you drop You know not the teacher returns, have you forgotten? I speak not to idle concerns, I keep it rockin' But you have forgotten I'm the holder of a boulder Money folder, we will be here forever, I told ya To remind ya, just when them chrome rims blind ya That them rims come from the expression of what's inside ya My lyrics guide ya and they fly too Why don't you try to find who you rhyme through I think it's time to untie you I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why Some like it slow, some like it off beat Some like smooth jazz, I like it all street We come in all shades, like coke we always Thinkin' of more ways to leave them all dazed All hazed, all crazed and all amazed My last name shoulda been Letterman like Dave But I wasn't his slave I'm referrin' to the way that my lyrics behave When I rock raves, let off shock waves Baby, it's crazy, not too much can stop me I walk right in, these other cats be knock-kneed Terrified, they still actin' all cocky When the storm hits, they be screamin' "Mami papi" Aren't you somebody? I'm from the orthodoxy, it takes more to rock me Like an attack of the clones, these rappers be carbon copies And they hardly got the flow Rhyme style sloppy and old What's up with the show? I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why I remember, you've forgotten To remember, I wonder why Mad Lion on the hook up Jay Rock on the hook up We do it just like that, just like that
