That one day you'd know my name But now your being brainwashed They never knew what my name was I fought up my corner, didn't I warn ya, A few years older now I'm singing ayo ayo Remember me do you do you remember me Make sure you remember me, make sure

Feel like shovel with dirt thrown side of my name I was so blind, I just couldn't see the hate Forgave all them niggas, I'm still Ray Would have never started rappin' if I knew this shit had came with this Runnin' millions until my legs out Wheelchair

A black eyed dog he called at my door A black eyed dog he knew my name I'm growing old and I wanna go home The black eyed dog he called for more A black eyed dog, a black eyed dog I'm growing old and I don't wanna know A black eyed dog he called for more

But if the rain stops falling, falling on you And your heart stops breaking, breaking in two If the light starts fading, baby don't move Just say my name, stay right there I'll come running for you We had a good run But I knew, I knew, I knew I knew this

You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing Come back home and it don't feel the same Well I've bled words onto a page for you And you never knew my name Didn't I warn you not to? Didn't I warn you good? Maybe we couldn't help it Maybe we never

Our love was made to rule the world Forget forever You came and broke the perfect girl Forget you ever You left me wanting what we were Knew my name, my name, my name, my name I told, I told, I told myself again I'm never running back on what I said

Our love was made to rule the world Forget forever You came and broke the perfect girl Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name You left me wanting what we were I told, I told, I told myself again I'm never running back on what I said

Here they come now, gotta lay low She never knew my name, least not the one my daddy gave me I took off the way I came, moonlight reflectin' off the road She didn't want my story, so I didn't have to lie If I loved her it was only for a night Livin' life

And you never knew my name You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing Come back home and it don't feel the same Well I've bled words onto a page for you Didn't I warn you not to? Didn't I warn you good? Maybe we couldn't help it Maybe we never

Just as it was, baby Before the otherness came And I knew its name But your love was unmoved There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved Never I'd had life enough My heart is screaming out And in a few days I would be there, love Ever here that's lived in me
