Can't Forget About You Lyrics - Hip Hop Is Dead - Nas

There comes a day in your life when you wanna kick back 

Straw hat on the porch when you're 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 

Collidin' 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 

Photos 

Can't forget about the old school, Bam, Cas, Melle Mel, Flash 

Rock Steady spinnin' 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 up 

When Mr. T became a wrestler 

Can't forget about Jordan's retirement 

The shot Robert Horry hit 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 made 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 

Here's my life long anthem 

Can't forget about you 

Forget about you 

Forget about you 

Unforgettable, unsubmittable 

I go by N now, just one syllable 

It's the end 'cause the game's tired, it's the same vibe 

Good times had right after James died 

That's why the gangsta rhymers ain't inspired 

Heinous crimes help record sales more than creative lines 

And I don't wanna keep bringing up the greater times 

But I'm a dreamer nostalgic with the state of mind 

The past, the past enough of it, aight then 

But nothing gives me chills like Douglas and Tyson 

Or Mike when his talk was live 

Or when he first did the moon walk on Motown 25 

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 

That's why, darling, it's incredible 

That someone so unforgettable 

Thinks that I am unforgettable too
