Don't forget about me

Don't forget about me

Don't forget about me

I'll never forget where I come from, I'm from the bottom

The shoes on my feet, I remember how I got 'em

When I didn't have a car

I was on the bus stop, when I needed cash

I was selling crack rock

Didn't have a lot but a nigga had enough

Had to keep it moving when the going got tough

It was bad y'all

Lost some niggas on the way, it's sad y'all

They couldn't make it here today

Now I do it for my homies

That'll never get to do it

And I do it for the mamas

Trying to make it on their own

Yeah I do it for the thugs

On the yard locked up

And I do it for New Orleans

Couldn't do it all alone

Believe it, while I'm out here on the grind

Looking out for me

All my homies saying

Dawg don't forget about me

I'm just trying to shine

And see what I can be

Cause I can hear them saying

Aug, don't forget about me

Don't forget about the hard nights

Don't forget about the downtown street lights

Don't forget about your brother

Don't forget about his daughters

Don't forget your little nieces growing up without a father

And son remember mama

Remember all the nights she had to put up with your drama

And for anybody else who's saying don't forget you

My advice is that you just be unforgettable

Now I do it for my homies

That'll never get to do it

And I do it for the mamas

Trying to make it on they own

Yeah I do it for the thugs

On the yard locked up

And I do it for New Orleans

Couldn't do it all alone

Believe it, while I'm out here on the grind

Looking out for me

All my homies saying

Dawg don't forget about me

I'm just tryna shine

And see what I can be

Cause I can hear them saying

Aug, don't forget about me

My birthday September the 3rd

So, August 31st

Uh, when I was, I was sleep, letting the day go by, you know.

I wake up and I got, like, 30 missed calls on my shit.

And so I woke up and I called my cousin back.

And it was like Man, what's up, ya heard me?

And a nigga, nigga told me a nigga killed my brother, man

So from that point on it was always like, man, you got it either this or that.

And a nigga can't choose that route, ya heard me.

Somebody's gotta survive.

So that's what it was.
