Uh Forget about forgetting bout me I'm here to stay like my people Put that on my people Fist in the air, and fist up your ass A fist full of freedom A sign of hope like a beacon I'm everything I believe in I've seen myself at my weakest I'm not one for competing We all be going through hell Pla Mying hide and seek with our demons I'm high as hell every weekend It never fails It's like I'm on the lam except I'm really running from myself Really running from a pain I pretend I never felt But damn, the kush and tequila be mixing well (Well, well) Well show em what you got And if you want the spot, lil nigga Get off the pot and take it to the top I know this shit hot But it could be better See it's just me and Forte penning all these open letters We tryna be the boys you want We tryna put in effort But all these songs are just our broken hearts on strings and tethers And see I know that you feel it You try so hard to conceal it You got your quotes and your filters You swear to god you the realest All these political villains The hurricanes and the killings You tryna get you a bag Tryna provide for your children Yeah you and 7 billion Remember that the next time you catch yourself in your feelings Just had to scream and shout it Man we could move a mountain C./Forte back in this bitch It's bout as wet as a fountain And if you think you forgetting us Forget about it Uh I'm from a city where the colors really matter, Wearin red on Wednesday get your brain matter splattered, My pops was home, my moms was married, it didn't matter, Though he was there, he didn't care, I wondered where my dad was I was the golden son, the rock, I had to hold the family I knew they loved me but on quiet nights I couldn't stand me I couldn't stand to be poor no more, I swore no more hand me Downs, Momma, hear me, Out I was playing son and husband by the time I hit eleven My feet were smaller than the shoes I stepped in You were a, mess and shit Me a force to reckon with I never second guessed For all the stress I never loved you less But Him I did, and knew I couldn't do this to a wife and kid And so I hid my teary eyes behind a smile They gave an inch I took a mile F*ck a while, I want it now My presence proud, No one will ever shut me down My eyes grew older, shoulders colder, Believe in my self, no Jesus, Allah, Jehovah Know the Life can get lonely, fill it up with drugs and poetry Hold these bitches at a distance, scared that if they really know me They gonna leave me, can't repeat the history Mama been divorced, and I ain't blame her for a second So don't you ever get to wondering why I make an effort Why we fight oppressors Why we stick together To those deserving better No swag forever
