Ed Sheeran













Remember The Name

(feat. Eminem & 50 Cent)





DETAILS





The two rap superstars, who cameo together on the set's fulcrum track "Remember the Name," give Sheeran a chance to fulfill a wish that he's no doubt had since he was rapping along to his copies of The Eminem Show and Get Rich or Die Tryin' as a young teen: to play-act as the duo's Shady/Aftermath co-star in his very own early-'00s club banger. And for the U.K. world-conqueror, it's about as big of a can't-tell-me-nothing flex as he could possibly design.

LYRICS





[Ed Sheeran:]

Yeah I was born a misfit, grew up ten miles from the town of Ipswich

Wanted to make it big I wished it to existence

I never was a sick kid, always dismissed quick

Stick to singing, stop rapping like it's Christmas

And if you're talkin' money then my conversation's shiftin'

My dreams are bigger than just being on the rich list

Might be insanity but people call it gifted

My face is going numb from the shit this stuff is mixed with

Watch how the lyrics in this song might get twisted

My wife wears red but looks better without the lipstick

I'm a private guy, and you know nothing about my business

And if I had my fifteen minutes, I must have missed 'em

Twenty years old is when I came in the game

And now it's eight years on and you Remember The Name

And if you thought I was good well then I'm better today

But it's ironic how you people thought I'd never be great

I like my shows open air, Tokyo to Delaware

Put your phones in the air if you wanna be rocked

You know I want way more than I already got

Give me a song with Eminem and 50 Cent "In Da Club"

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I wanna crack on and I wanna be paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I wanna crack on and I wanna be paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

[Eminem:]

Hey, hey, hey

I can still remember (What?)

Tryna shop a deal (Uh-huh)

From Taco Bell to TRL, I climbed the Billboard charts

To the top until as fate would have it (Yeah)

Became an addict, funny 'cause I had pop appeal

But they said time'll tell (What?) If I'd prevail (Huh?)

And all I did was (What?) Put Nine Inch Nails (Where?)

In my eye-lids now (What?) I'm seeing diamond sales

Like I'm in Zales (Yeah) Without a doubt, by any means

If rap was skinny jeans, I couldn't do anything in 'em

I'd be splitting seams of denim when I'm spitting schemes

Which really means, no if ands or butts, are squeezin' in between

You sleep on me, 'cause you're only fuckin' living in your dreams

Not even when I'm on my death bed

Man, I feel like Ed, it isn't time to drop the mic yet

So, why would I quit? The thought that I would stop when I'm dead

Just popped in my head, I said it, then forgot what I said

[Ed Sheeran & Eminem:]

My time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

[50 Cent:]

Ain't nobody cold as me, I dress so fresh, so clean

You could find me in my whip rockin my Fendi drip

Man, you know just what I mean

Shining, wrist with the rocks on it

Bashimi's the lox on it

Everything my voice on, the shit knock, don't it?

Balenciaga saga, I'm in Bergdorf ballin'

It's just another episode, my hoes, I spoil 'em

She like the fly shit, and I like to buy shit

Shit, I'm gettin' stupid money, what else we gon' do with money?

Bitch we be ballin' out, the king bringing 50 bottles

Tonight we gon' blow a check, worry 'bout the shit tomorrow

The turn up is so real, we 'bout to be super lit

Boy, I'm kickin' straight facts, that's just how we do this shit

Tomorrow we hangin' over, 'til we start feelin' sober

Then it's time to start it over, here we go again

[Ed Sheeran & 50 Cent:]

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

And it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time you remember the name

Aye-aye, aye-aye

(Hey, hey, hey)
