Remember Me
S.S.M.O.B. Lyrics

Remember me, when I use to write my rhymes in class
Think of me when I used to write rhymes in the classroom.

At Dick Dall Middle School, all them niggaz would laugh
Back at Dick Dall Middle School, everyone made fun of me for rapping.

Telling me I would never make it, cause I rap too fast
They said I wouldn't make it because my rap was too fast.

I was desperately trying to find out, how to go from scraps to cash
I was trying to figure out how to make money from nothing.

Remember, how y'all use to chase me home from school
Remember how you guys used to chase me after school.

Just cause I sported corduroy britches, and Pro Wing shoes
Because of my corduroy pants and Pro Wing shoes.

I use to have a lunch card, cause them times was hard
I had a lunch card because times were tough.

Since the seven people living in one house, with no cars in the yard
There were seven of us living in one house and we didn't have a car.

I remember stressing so hard, I couldn't keep my focus
I was so stressed that I couldn't focus on anything.

My only love was for extras, and overs
The only thing I loved were extras and freebies.

Fuck all you niggaz, don't make me slap the fuck out all you niggaz
I don't care about any of you guys and don't make me hurt you.

If it ain't related to making paper, I ain't calling you niggaz
If it's not about making money, I won't bother calling you.

I bet Mo City remember, when I took it over with rapping
I know Mo City remembers when I took it over with my rapping.

51-11 Ridgevan, moving that crack bitch I was stacking
I was stacking cash from selling crack at 51-11 Ridgevan.

Residuals redeemingly, I was raw mayn raw caine
I made money from royalties and I was ruthless.

Rapidly running my neighborhood, I was the law mayn
I act as the authority figure in my neighborhood.

'Member when I dropped my first album, in '98
Remember when I released my first album in 1998?

Fucking with Herman Fisher, but now that nigga hate me he's a cake
I worked with Herman Fisher but now he hates me because he's a coward.

Suppose to be mad at me, tal'n bout I owe him some change
He's supposed to be mad at me because he thinks I owe him money.

Nigga just mad cause they can't eat with me, I eat with Lil' James
They're just mad because they can't hang with me and Lil' James.

Rap-A-Lot Mafia my man, y'all remember the Maab
Rap-A-Lot Mafia, do you all remember the Maab?

This isn't Den-Den and Z-Ro, y'all better remember the squad
This isn't about Den-Den and Z-Ro, remember the whole team.

Two different labels but the same cable, remember we connected
We were on two different labels but we were still connected.

Woodfair to Missouri City, two block of Screwed Up Texas
From Woodfair to Missouri City, we represent Screwed Up Texas.

Remember me, I'm the one they laughed at in all my classes
Remember me, the kid who was laughed at in all his classes.

They use to rank on my low budget clothes, and my glasses
People would make fun of my cheap clothes and glasses.

Remember me, the same one they use to call egghead
Remember me, the one they called egghead.

Now I play with fed bread, and sleep on Gucci bed spreads
Now I'm wealthy enough to afford designer clothes and bedding.

I remember the winters in the hood, no heat cold nights
I remember the freezing winters in the hood with no heat at night.

No gas no lights, a ghetto low life
No gas or electricity, just living in poverty.

So my flow twice as strong, from the memories
My flow is stronger because of my past experiences.

I remember when my closest homies, turned to enemies
I remember when my friends turned into enemies.

See niggaz tend to be, down when your bread up
People tend to be supportive when you're doing well.

But when you in the quicksand, they frown cause your legs stuck
But when you're struggling, they're not as supportive.

Yeah I remember that, so you remember this
I remember it, so remember this.

Hard times be my fuel, so I ain't finna quit
Hard times motivate me, I won't give up.

I vividly, R-E-M-E-M-B-E-R
I remember very clearly.

Craig up in the E-R, bloody getting CPR
Craig was in the emergency room getting CPR because he was bleeding.

So before, the reaper come and turn me to a memory
Before I die and become just a memory.

I endlessly spit the heat, for the people to remember me
I will keep rapping for people to remember me.

Me P.O.P., so many forgot bout
Many people have forgotten about me, P.O.P.

But not I, this for those who remember little Popeye
But I remember, and this is for those who remember little Popeye.

And I remember hot guys, ridiculed the flow
I remember when people criticized my rap flow.

Now I'm front and center nigga, haters finna do me so
Now I'm in the spotlight, and haters are trying to bring me down.

Shit I remember back in the game, it was tough
I remember when things were difficult back in the game.

No matter what a nigga had, it was never enough
No matter how much someone had, it was never enough.

See if I had five I wanted ten, and if I had ten I wanted twenty
I always wanted more, even if I already had something.

Back in the gap, when I first hit the block
Back when I first started selling on the street.

With my first 25, and a hand full of rocks
With my first $25 and some rocks to sell.

Posted up at Samantha house on the West, on the porch
I would hang out on Samantha's porch on the West side.

Ready to give my nigga some work, or give him the torch
Ready to give my friend some drugs to sell or take over.

I remember telling my T, I wasn't going to college
I told my mom I wasn't going to college.

And was headed to the streets, to get the rest of my knowledge
I was going to learn everything I needed to know on the streets.

That broke her heart, and for that I had to go
My decision hurt my mom's heart and I had to leave.

So I went from the sidelines, to starring in the show
I went from being unknown to being in the spotlight.

Everything came slow, and nothing came fast
Success came slowly and nothing happened quickly.

Most times I was out of luck, and dead on my ass
Most of the time, I was broke and struggling.

But with the heart of a hustler, and the mind of a G
But I had the determination of a hustler and the intelligence of a G.

I came up, now I'm something to see Bun B
Now I'm successful and worth noticing, Bun B.
