Not Forgotten

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
