Can't Forget About You - Nas
There comes a day in your life
When you wanna kick back straw hat
On the porch when you old perhaps
Wanna gather your thoughts have a cold one brag
To your grandkids about how life is golden
So I will light a cigar in the corridor of the crib
Pictures on the wall of all the things that I did
All the money and fame 8 by 10's
Of the whole Rat Pack inside of a big frame
Colliding with big names that could've made your career stop
All that and your man is still here and I'm still hot
Wow I need a moment y'all
See I almost felt a tear drop
When was the last time you heard a real anthem
Nas the millionaire the mansion
When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme
Never on schedule but always on time
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me truly this is what made me
Break me not a thing's gonna break me
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me truly this is what made me
Break me not a thing's gonna break me
Ohh I'm that history I'm that block
I'm that lifestyle I'm that spot
I'm that kid by the number spot
That's my past that made me hot
Here's my life long anthem
Can't forget about you
(Can't forget about Can't forget about you)
Can't forget about the old school
Bam Cas Melle Mel Flash rocksteady spinning on they back
Can't forget when the first rap Grammy went to Jazzy
Fresh Prince Fat Boys broke up rap hasn't been the same since
So irregular how it messed you upwhen Mr T became a wrestler
Can't forget about Jordan's retirement
The shot Robert Horry to win the game in the finals kid
Some things are forever some things are not
It's the things we remember that gave the world shock
They stay in a place in your mind so snug
Like who the person was with whom you first make love
When was the last time you heard a real anthem
Nas the millionaire the mansion
When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme
Never on schedule but always on time
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me truly this is what made me
Break me not a thing's gonna break me
These streets hold my deepest days
This hood taught me golden ways
Made me truly this is what made me
Break me not a thing's gonna break me
Ohh I'm that history I'm that block
I'm that lifestyle I'm that spot
I'm that kid by the number spot
That's my past that made me hot
