Remember
LiL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woah woah, woah!
Yeah yeah, yeah!
Don't write my wrongs, I write my wrongs, I write my
Yeah, Lil Slatt
Just to tell you the truth, when it came up to you I had nothing to lose
Put my heart on a stake when I fell in love with you I could never choose
All the times that I told you I love you, that shit there was nothing to prove
I just came up to show you that I ain't nothin' like no other dude
Push a porshe and that shit is all red
I might slide like a motherfuckin sled
Got some tats on my face and my pockets blue faced
I put all kinds of dye in my dreads
Know these niggas they mad cause' they can't take my place
Smokin' moonrock I'm so geeked outta space!
Back at thirteen I was jumpin them gates
I was hittin' them licks to put food on our plates
Pour up some Faygo, might mix with Fanta
Leanin' tripped over I almost dropped my hammer
Lenci and Prada the life of a scammer
Stopped swiping them cards just to build up my mana
Nigga try ranned up, I'm from Atlanta
Pocket my rocket, You know I had fanned him
Not talking ghost but I left him in smoke when I pushed up the limit 180 my phantom!
Wassup wit dat? Count up some racks,
She talk to me I won't say nothing back
Been through heartbreak got no time for the cap
I had boss up my family, put cape on my back
I'm just hoping it stop the stress
I was just living check to check
I remember I couldn't get a text
Now these hoes wanna drop the neck
Uhh, hoe get the fuck out my face Slime but don't hang around snakes
Kill you I won't leave a trace
Uzi on me no Eternal Atake
Want me to drop? that's eternal await
All of these bitches too fake
When I had needed you most, yeah you had turned me away
Late at night i cried to sleep, I pray to god my soul to keep
I hope my mind don't bother me, hit my line please bother me!
Man oh man




Love you, love you
Ooh

Two dead 'cause I lost to this world
I've experienced the tragic loss of loved ones due to violence and other harsh realities of life


Crossed over like Flo Rida
I'm successful and have crossed over into mainstream success


Only my squad they both sliding
I have loyal friends who will always have my back


Money and power they both riding
I've achieved both financial and influential success


Caught him and him and they both sliding
My friends and I have taken revenge on those who've wronged us


Trap house, block party, niggas doing the same shit
The neighborhood I come from is still plagued by drugs and crime


And got nothing
Those who engage in these activities often endure little success and end up with nothing to show for it


And niggas try me and that Mac bust
I have little patience for those who try to challenge me or threaten me


And they remember my name
My legacy and reputation will be remembered for years to come
