G Life - 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 f*cked 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
