(Taking it back old school) Nas ft. Chrisette Michele - Can’t Forget About You.
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 grand kids 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 have 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 [2x] Oh, 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 the old school, Bam, Cas, Melle Mel, Flash. Rock steady 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 up when 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 [2x] Oh, 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. — 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, alright 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 to.
