(This is it, Mani)
Highs and lows, highs and lows, keep on your game
Highs and lows, highs and lows, it's all the same
They'll be crying, I don't know, I don't know
Please keep fighting, please keep fighting
I'm not in it for attention, I'm not in it for the riches
I'm not in it for the luxury, I'm not in it for the kisses
I'm not in it for the whips, I'm not in it for the cribs
I'm not in it for the jewelry
It is what it is, since I was a kid
I wanted to grow up and be something big
That's my only wish, as a youngin', I was told to take what you get
And don't throw a fit, ain't that a bitch?
Maybe I could really live out my dream
Maybe I could play for the winning team
Maybe I could move up to the big league
Maybe, just maybe, uh
One day, I'm telling myself I'll be great
Next day, I'm thinking 'bout all my mistakes
One day, I'm telling myself, "Don't complain"
Next day, I'm running from all of my pain
It's like that feeling that you get
When you can't move in a nightmare
I'm scared, I try to keep runnin', but it keeps on coming
And it's taking it a light-year
I'm just hoping that it fights fair
You don't (you don't), have to do this
Just because you're ruling doesn't mean you're ruthless
Now that I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging for mercy, I'm begging for peace
What happens when I'm gone?
Are you gonna keep singing this song?
Yeah, will you just tell me the truth?
'Cause it feels like you been lying all along
I got one question for you, I got one question for you
I got one question for you, I got one question, only one question
Will you remember me? Uh, will you remember me?
Yeah, will you remember me?
Will you remember me? Uh, will you remember me?
Uh, will you remember me?
Will you remember me? Yeah, will you remember me?
Uh, will you remember me?
Will you remember me? Will you remember me?
Uh, will you remember me?
Look at this house, look at this watch
I might just buy every car on the lot
Look at this chain, it costs a lot
I can't forget the designer I bought
Drove by a bum, I did not stop
Just rolled down the window and shout, "Get a job"
'Cause I'm on the route straight to the top
So why do you care where I'm spending my guap?
That is the voice of an ignorant soul
Who doesn't know what's going on in the real world
He dreams of making it out of the country town
But his heart's stuck in a wheelbarrow
He's laughing, he's cracking jokes
Everybody thinks that he's Will Ferrell
But he's running out of time
Can't realize now his path is looking real narrow
I take a story and flip it and give it an image
'Cause nobody listen, I'm painting a picture
For people too busy to focus on what's really bigger
I'm done with the bitchin', I'm done with the cryin'
I'm done with the hatin', I'm done with the violence
I'm done with the fakin', I'm done with the riots
I'm done with the frontin', I'm done with the lyin'
I'm done with the duckin', I'm done with the fightin'
I got one question for you, I got one question for you
I got one question for you, ooh-ooh, I got one question, only one question
Will you remember me? Uh, will you remember me?
Will you remember me?
Will you remember me? Yeah, will you remember me?
Will you remember me?
Will you remember me? Yeah, will you remember me?
Uh, will you remember me?
Will you remember me? Yeah, will you remember me?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Highs and lows, highs and lows, keep on your game
Highs and lows, highs and lows, it's all the same
They'll be crying, I don't know, I don't know-
