Ohhh! New raptile!! Yes!! Mercury baby, NJ!!

With my squad in the back ready to black ok?!!

And you don't want that

If its beef then its beef
Don't forget it

[verse 1: raptile]
I shot ya, its hells sign from my alpine,
Mozez baby, delve into my 12 lines
Shits too hot, labels never shelf my
Product, bitch, don't even start that shit
Catch me in da back of the van, hands on my psp
Black hoody on, rockin "need for speed"
I kill stages, breakin songs
In countries, u wont even see on vacations, dog,
Think bout it, he got cash for beatz and features,
E must have nuff, for the streets to get u beat up
(what?) fake 2pacs, keep ur mouth closed, cause
If u post hard its just one phone call…
[hook: marcy]

Don't forget it

Duck, duck, down, duck down, duck down
[verse 2: mercury]
I spit like its eather rhyme or die
But if its die for respect put me in the line to fry
Minus why, my team, you can find us high
Face down with a fifth that can blind your eye
Im sick, visit my pen in I.C.U. with ink in the I.V.
To the death its C and C
Im at the bar on my tenth shot
Head dropped, eyes low of the hydro
Spit this watch you die slow
Airforce out the tahoe
Slide in, work ya girls gut like tai-bo
Its merc, respect the name, who to blame?
(don't blame us), cause your LP went stainless
Its bunji, fear the ship date
My team make classic hits
We mastered this yeah!
[hook: marcy]
We got that hot shit
Please don't forget it
If its beef then its beef
Don't forget it
I hear my name in the street
Youll regret it
U hear that
Duck, duck, down, duck down, duck down
[outro:]
...cause we fight back, yall know how it goes, right?!
Ghost writers, lamonte ball, Justin, what up baby!
That's how we do it… mozez jeeeahh! Monstablokaz!!
The first verse of Raptile’s song “Don’t Forget It” speaks of his success as a rapper being “too hot” for labels to ignore, yet his willingness to continue to work hard despite the lack of recognition. The lyrics discuss catching him in the back of a van with his PSP, about to play “Need For Speed.” This detail is meaningful, as it illustrates the travels and touring that come with success in the music industry. The second half of the verse features Raptile warning his competition not to underestimate him and his team, as one phone call could make them regret their choice to step up to him.
The song's chorus talks about "hot shit" and the notion of beef, showing the rapper's ready to battle until the end. It warns about the consequences of bringing up Raptile’s name in the wrong way, as he speaks of his crew being “ready to black” with “Duck, duck, down, duck down, duck down.” Two verses reinforce the central message that Raptile wouldn't back down from any challenge, and his crew was never to be underestimated.
Overall, “Don’t Forget It” is a powerful anthem with strong lyrics and a clear message that Raptile and his team intended to control the game.
