Remember My Name

[Intro]
[low vocal register]When I’m gone
You gon’ see me
In the faces
Of the ones who breathe me
[Verse 1]
I poured my time into your palms
Every joke, every scar, every quiet alarm
They gon’ say I left
But I live in your walk, in your laugh, in your stubborn calm
Little habits I handed you
How you tilt your head when the world feels cruel
When you hold your tongue, when you break that rule
That’s me in the room, still talkin’ to you
[Chorus]
[choir swells]You’ll never find me
You’ll never find me
You’ll never find me
Remember my name
You’ll never find me
You’ll never find me
You’ll never find me
Remember my name
[Verse 2]
When I die they gon’ see my pieces
In the way you love hard, in the way pain eases
In the friend you defend when the crowd goes quiet
In the line you cross ‘cause your heart says try it
I’m in every late text you don’t send
In the way you forgive, in the way you end
Every story with “I’m still okay”
That’s my old faith talkin’ through your veins
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]Close your eyes
Hear me breathe in your chest
I’m the yes in your doubt
I’m the “stay” in your step
[choir call-and-response]I’m the fire / I’m the flame
I’m the echo / of your pain
I’m the reason / that you came
Say my name, say my name
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

rap, Slow, cavernous a cappella with male lead rap/sung vocals. Stacked gospel choir pads on long, haunting chords; occasional call-and-response shouts on downbeats. Verses stay mostly dry and intimate, close-mic’d; chorus blooms with wide harmonies, low bass voices holding drones. Subtle breath and room reverb carry the rhythm instead of percussion, leaving space for emotional ad-libs and dynamic swells., hip hop, slow
