Remember You

(Verse 1)
Look, man, it's crazy how these times fly by
We used to do this for fun, now we all just want a piece of the pie
I remember when we thought we could fly
But then we looked up at the sun too long and lost the vision in sight
I ain't slept a decent night now in who knows
When I do dream, it's just of grammys and junos
Used to spit these bars with the homies just for kudos
Now we're scouring the industry looking for loopholes
In hopes that we'd be making it big
Man, this simply used to be the only place that I fit
Got this dream in my grasp, I won't loosen my grip
Time will tell if I ascend or I slip
Promise you won't ever hear that I quit
I put in too much time and effort, y'all got to hear me
Turn it up so these people hear me clearly
I won't rest till I get the respect
And leave the game with a name they can't forget, look

(Chorus)
So when the lights fade out and the crowd dies down (dies down)
How you remembered when you're not around (whatchu saying?)
What you gon' do when they turn the beat down, dawg
I hope that they remember you

So when the lights fade out and the crowd dies down (dies down)
How you remembered when you're not around (whatchu saying?)
What you gon' do when they turn the beat down, dawg
I hope that they remember you

(Verse 2)
I hope they remember me for being kind
I hope in troubled times, I'm remembered for peace of mind
Hope for every step I took, they know there's nobody close I could leave behind
You're down to crumbs, you've got a piece of mine
I hope my name's spoken for a thousand generations
Remembered for my family's elevation
I hope for everything that I was given, I could give something back
Show my people that it wasn't all for nothing
Back in high school, Kupes always spoke about legacy
Like how these people gon' remember me
Was I seen as integral, or just mentioned with some brevity
That's why I'm working on a better me
So were these little rhymes of mine helping them smile
Or just simply played for them to pass the time
I hope if you're ever asked, and you ever cared to share
That you knew if you needed, I was there

(Chorus)
So when the lights fade out and the crowd dies down (dies down)
How you remembered when you're not around (whatchu saying?)
What you gon' do when they turn the beat down, dawg
I hope that they remember you

So when the lights fade out and the crowd dies down (dies down)
How you remembered when you're not around (whatchu saying?)
What you gon' do when they turn the beat down, dawg
I hope that they remember you
