nas - can't forget about you lyrics

[produced by will.i.am]

[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 on how life is golden
so i’mma 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

[chorus]
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

[hook]
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)

[nas]
can’t forget about the old school, bam, caz, melle mel, flash
rocksteady 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

[hook]
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

[nas]
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

[chorus]
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

[hook]
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

[nat “king” cole sample]
that’s why, darling, it’s incredible
that someone so unforgettable
thinks that i am unforgettable too
