The Forgotten People

The forgotten people
RIP
Shit

Ah
True story, it happened to a friend of mine
A friend of a friend
And now his image's compromised
Working late nights that bread never comes in time
Never came home that night his body never found
The forgotten people
Brushed off the seashores
Body stuck in limbo
They were superheroes
The history books never wrote their names
Torn chapters, even the ink took the blame
Never complaining the only thing they show is concern
Skeletons talking, their voice forever burn
Money buys happiness but it won't buy you peace
And that's the correct phrase
I'm swimming in grease, peace

Now this' for my people that never got a mention
I see ya' back in the days without oppression (Oppression)
And you're probably thinking that you are forgotten (Forgotten)
Memories they're locked, I think I caged them
But this' for my people that never got a mention
I see ya' back in the days without oppression
And you're probably thinking that you are forgotten
Memories they're locked, I think I caged them

Yeah
The forgotten people
My mind be playing tricks with me
It's like I'm solving riddles
They love backward
They be turning to fucking evil
Lost some niggas in the trenches shooting Desert Eagles
Lost some niggas because of a dollar
Pypes died two weeks before becoming a father
Mike lost his son coz' a stranger was having a bad day
And I'm alive today, we was walking the same way
My clone, he's standing next to my grave
He's pouring liquor for me
Hustler, it was engraved
Asking forgiveness to my loved ones
Their faces fading away
I'm reminiscing with my own blunt, cha

Now this' for my people that never got a mention
I see ya' back in the days without oppression (No oppression)
And you're probably thinking that you are forgotten (You're not forgotten)
Memories they're locked, I think I caged them
But this' for my people that never got a mention
I see ya' back in the days without oppression
And you're probably thinking that you are forgotten (You're not forgotten)
Memories they're locked, I think I caged them

Yeah
The forgotten people
I missed some burials
Now the pain's coming back in sequels
Tears after tears and now I'm swimming in a pool
And the sweat from my armpits turning into a ghoul
Running away from a monster that I never saw
Death on his horse riding around and on my road
I look around and everybody turns into ghosts
They're underground
And every feeling turning to smoke
In every moment
Losing faith my people dormant
I be frozen
Wife of Lot, I looked behind me
Looking back at the people that I really had to lose
The salt pillar got me thinking like, 'Man, God is cruel', woo

Now this' for my people that never got a mention (They never mention your names)
I see ya' back in the days without oppression (No oppression)
And you're probably thinking that you are forgotten (forgotten)
Memories they're locked, I think I caged them
But this' for my people that never got a mention
I see ya' back in the days without oppression
And you're probably thinking that you are forgotten (You're not forgotten)
Memories they're locked, I think I caged them
