Not Forgotten Lyrics

They shot him down, they shot him down, they shot him down, yeah

My best friend died today

My best friend died today

I lost so many brothers and sisters, seen even more losses

List gets bigger, cops pull the trigger, go figure, America, the land of the gun

They got this, so you better get one

Mom buried son, damn glad it ain't me

That'd be the end of this family tree

McDonald's, yeah, I'm a born MC without my homie

Feel empty

Often think about the days before we had to get paid

Just two young boys in the schoolyard

Didn't even think about getting laid

Just sitting in the shade of playing video games

Not a worry in my mind, just time a-wasting, skirt chasing

Then came the freebases like Freemasons

It was about the bricks

He died trying to get rich

If you love someone, let it go

If it comes back to you, then it's yours

And if you love someone, let them know

You're not be there tomorrow

You're not forgotten

You're not forgotten

Just because they're gone doesn't mean that you're alone

And it doesn't mean that they even know that you love them

Hold a lot of anger, resentment for his killers in society and his parents

And I'm looking for somebody else to blame

But only one lane took a needle to his vein

And I know my life will never be the same

Even though I calm down, I still rep my game

Pack my gap, got my tax

Some things don't change in death

I got your back, I still defend your name

And I miss you like every day

Every day I got my family that passes away

And it feels like that I got more family on the other side

Than in real life was a suicide addiction

Death by complimental affliction

A combination of prescription

Drugs, alcohol, or all the above

If you love someone, let it go

If it comes back to you, then it's yours

And if you love someone, let it know

They might not be there tomorrow

But you're not forgotten

You're not forgotten

Just because they're gone doesn't mean that you're alone

And it doesn't mean that they even know that you love them

You kissed Whitney in kindergarten

My first memories of you and me being rotten

At five years old, we were fighting, tossing

Grew up together, but I looked up to you often

I touch you when you're coughing, open casket

Then we rolled and smoked your ashes

Someone fucked up, I got this backwards

Devastated understatement, but not inaccurate

When I heard what happened, I snapped

And I grabbed my strap and headed back to the scene of the accident

Got hemmed up in the rest of a possession of a weapon under the influence

That's the fact of it

I'll never come to terms

It'll never be accepted

What happened to you and what happened to the rest of them

I'll never be at ease

And I'll never be at peace

And I'll keep fighting, signed your best friend

My best friend died today

My best friend died today

They shot him down

They shot him down

They shot him down

But you're not forgotten

You're not forgotten

Just because they're gone doesn't mean that you were lonely

But they didn't know that you loved them

They shot him down

They shot him down

They shot him down
