If I should die tomorrow at the hands of the policeman
And the papers say
We're going to call it a suicide, would you even question why
Would you shake your head and say the ain't right
Or do your best to forget about me
Please, please, please don't forget about me
Ohhhh, say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Don't forget my name
Say my name
Don’t forget my name
If I should die tomorrow
At the hands of the policeman
And the papers say, we're going to call it a suicide
Would you even question why
Would you believe in my innocence
Would you even come to my defense
Would you believe in the good I’ve done
Or will my name be smeared and my story unsung
Will you search for the answers or take what they hand us
Who's going to stand with me
Please please please don't forget about me
Ohhhh, Say my name
Say my name
Say my Name
Say my name
Don't forget my name
Say my name
Don’t let it be in vain
Rap:
Even the sun goes down
Heroes eventually die
Shot with their hands in the sky
Your favorite revolutionaries give up and comply
For a house on the hills, white wife, couple mills
I'm last of Mohicans I guess
Fighting for a cause they say is lost but I can't let it rest
Rebellion in the mammaries of my mama's breasts
And I drank ‘til I was drunk, like I was lean off that Crunk.
We living every word that we rapping about
And the struggle it gets hard but we ain't backing out
Nothing is impossible
The word alone says I’m Possible
So I'm the racehorse that I'm riding for
The audacity of hope
To believe we can succeed when everybody and their momma say nope
Well F ya'll
I’m different, descendent of the fittest
Reincarnated just so I can handle business
My name, oh say my name, say my name
I’m different, descendent of the fittest
Reincarnated just so I can handle business
My name, you know my name, so say my name
Don’t forget my name
I’m different, descendent of the fittest
Reincarnated just so I can handle business
Say her name, say her name
Don’t forget her name
Don’t let her struggle be in vain
So say her name
She ain’t die in vain

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
