They Forgot About R.A.M. Lyrics

[Verse 1 - K. Jayz]
Y’all know me, still the same low-key
Producing that heat
Hated on by niggas who don’t know me, know rap, or know that I’m tryna proceed
So no, don’t you go overdosing on he
who gives you garbage to listen to
I’ma turn him into roast beef
I know what it’s like to be stabbed in the back
And as a matter of fact
It’d usually be the people that I thought was close to me or that know me
Y’all think I’ma let it go? Please
Ho, please

You better never even come close to me
Think about it, if we not fam, then what the fuck are supposed to be?
Do you remember Eazy-E, Ice Cube, D.O.C
Snoop D-O-double-G, and the group with that Doctor D-R-E?

I remember back in the day when all music really used to be good
And when you first heard this song by Dr. Dre, you know that you had to press repeat
Damn, it’s really getting lonely as I’m sitting here at the top
Are you gonna rock the mic forever?
Cause if you do, you have change your strategy
Cause you making music about bullshit
How you just gon’ abuse it? Hip hop?
Y’all motherfuckers really forgot about real ass music

[Hook x2 - Eminem & K. Jayz]
Now-a-days everybody wanna talk like they got somethin' to say
But nothin' comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch'a gibberish

You stupid motherfuckers really forgot about R.A.M
[Verse 2 - K. Jayz]
So what do you do about niggas who wanna hate on real music that was made back in the day?
That is tragic, give ‘em classics, from the Illmatic, or the N.W.A
I don’t give a fuck if you do not agree, cause it really don’t matter to me
You are a disease to hip hop everywhere
Ain’t nobody even want you to succeed
When did rap become about money and cars and clothes and jewels?
It’s funny that you think that shit is cool
But then you wanna go and act like a fool
Money’ll make you do stupid things
Like buy a ho an engagement ring
You start to show your buffoonery
When you rap for the money and the jewelry
If it was up to me, you motherfuckers would stop coming up with bad music and call it rap
If this was back in the day, you really would not get a say
Cause you’ll give everybody heart attacks
And we ain’t having that
This is the decade of real rap
So go ahead and give it back to real rappers
As a matter of fact, do not bother to continue to rap

[Hook]
