Will You Remember Me?

(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-
