Never Forget
A Z Lyrics

I'll never forget, the times when we crawled together
I will always remember the moments when we struggled together

I'll never forget, the times when we balled together
I will always remember the times when we succeeded together

I'll never forget, the love, hugs, smiles and tears
I will always remember the love, affection, happiness, and sadness we shared

And the strength to help me conquer my fears
And the support that gave me the courage to overcome my fears

I'll never forget, the day we met
I will always remember the day we first encountered each other

I was on Gravestone, trying to find an address
At that time, I was lost and searching for direction

You told me that your wife, had just lost your baby
You confided in me that your wife had recently suffered a heartbreaking loss

I never met a man, so hate free
I had never encountered someone who was so devoid of negativity

Lately, I've been drunk as fuck
Recently, I have been heavily intoxicated

I live in Screwston Texas, that's my home
I reside in Screwston Texas, which is my place of belonging

Banging Screw since 9-2, ask my T. Jones
I have been listening to Screw's music since 1992, you can confirm with T. Jones

When Fat Pat died, we was all alone
When Fat Pat passed away, we felt a great sense of isolation

That boy was the coldest, on the microphone
Fat Pat was immensely talented when it came to rapping

Screw took it harder, than anyone thought
Screw was deeply affected by his death, more than anyone anticipated

It's hard to be apart, from someone close to your heart
It is challenging to be separated from someone who holds a special place in your heart

South Park from the start, all of a sudden
I have been representing South Park since the beginning, and now it feels like it happened abruptly

The whole nation, all bout the Screw Shop on Cullen
The entire nation became interested in the Screw Shop on Cullen Street

November 16th, I sat and cried
On November 16th, I sat down and shed tears

Cause that was the day, that Houston Texas died
Because that was the day when Houston Texas experienced a great loss

I'll never forget true love see, it's gon last forever
I will always remember the enduring nature of true love

Keep my feet on solid ground, so we could ball together
I strive to stay grounded so that we can achieve success together

Since a young one never done one, stay true to the heart
Since I was a child, I have remained faithful to my values

You kept my head above water, gave me spark from the start
You helped me stay afloat and ignited my passion from the beginning

You put the mic in my hand, plus put your trust in me
You entrusted me with the microphone and had faith in my abilities

Dodging cases being a G, you got me out of the streets
By evading legal troubles and behaving like a true gangster, you kept me away from the dangerous streets

Gave me the capital of Texas, so I could throw away the pyreeces
You provided me with the resources and support to leave a life of crime and move on to better things

Put a queen on my shoulder, when nights were cold as misses
You stood by my side, offering comfort and support during the difficult times

Hustling smiles appear the tears, the tears from younger years
Through the ups and downs of life, both happy and sad memories resurface from our youth

Until they find us riders, make sure you standing here
Until they discover individuals as loyal as us, make sure you remain by my side

S.U.C. for L-I-F-E, Screw blew one with the streets
Screw maintained loyalty to the streets until his death, and S.U.C. will forever be a part of our lives

Slowed down originator, keeping the trunk on beat
As the originator of the slowed down style, Screw ensured that the beat resonated from car trunks

My faith in G-O-D, putting the world up under my feet
My belief in God empowers me to overcome any obstacles in life

Making imitators duketators, bow down and can't compete
By being original, I make imitators feel inferior and unable to compete with me

From a G to a G, this here's for you to me
From one genuine person to another, this message is for you

Staying down putting it down, screaming Screw for eternity
Remaining loyal and committed, continuously representing Screw's legacy

Whoever knew he would create a new sound, never been heard
No one could have foreseen that Screw would invent a unique and groundbreaking style of music

Transform a simple name, into a household word
He turned his name into something recognizable and known by everyone

He gained fame but never changed, never switched gears
Despite becoming famous, he remained true to himself and didn't alter his approach

When you met him it was like, you been knowing him twenty years
Meeting him felt like you had known him for twenty years, he had that immediate connection with people

Was never fake, blessed to make the rap scene elevate
He was always genuine and blessed with the ability to elevate the rap scene

Genius, watch that boy slow it down and still accelerate
He was a true genius, able to slow down the music but still maintain its momentum

God gave him a gift, and my partna knew how to use it
Screw was blessed with a talent, and he knew exactly how to utilize it

But the love I got for Screw, ain't got nothing to do with music
My love for Screw goes beyond his music, it extends to the person he was

Cause when he left, the physical was consumed
After he passed away, his physical presence was gone

But his spirit manifesting, everybody in this room
However, his spirit lives on and can be felt by everyone present in this room

A real partna forever, I know I can never be him
He was a true friend, and I can never fully emulate or replace him

But if I make him my example, when you see me then you'll see him
However, if I strive to be like him, then you will be reminded of him when you see me

S for slowing it down, see cold creating
The 'S' represents his ability to slow down the music, while also being cool and creative

R stands for realer than real, and never hating
The 'R' signifies that he was more real and authentic than anyone else, and he never harbored any hatred

E forever lasting, effect never corrupt
The 'E' symbolizes how his impact will endure forever, and his legacy will never be tarnished

W for the world, cause that's what he screwed up
The 'W' represents the world that he influenced and changed with his unique style

Man I'll never forget, the difference time can make
I will always remember how time can bring about significant changes

Man I'll never forget, coming down in the 8
I will never forget the experience of cruising in the 8 (a vehicle)

Man I'll never forget, we drunk the pint straight
I will always remember the times when we drank the pint of liquor without dilution

We been freestyling, since them old grey tapes
We have been improvising lyrics since the days of the old grey tapes

And then came the day, that we was making them G's
And then the day arrived when we started making significant amounts of money

Had them niggas lined up, like we was slanging them ki's
People were lining up for us, just as if we were selling kilos of drugs

But we ain't slanging D, we just moving C.D.'s
However, we were not selling drugs, we were just distributing CDs

People coming to the shop, way from over the seas
People were traveling from faraway places just to visit our shop

But still we some G's, or should I say that we back
Even though we are successful, we still maintain our authenticity and gangster persona

Coming down in a Impala, with the candy wet
We would drive around in an Impala with a shiny, candy-coated exterior

Coming down MLK, with the music that bump
We would drive down Martin Luther King Boulevard with our music blasting

We was swinging and banging, steady popping the trunk
We were proudly representing our neighborhood and causing a scene by opening the trunk of the car to showcase our sound system

Say what's up to that Gator, Mafio and that Pat
Give my greetings to Gator, Mafio, and Pat who are now deceased

I know why y'all looking down from heaven, watching over our back
I am aware that you are looking down on us from heaven, protecting us

When they mention Screwed Up Click, they goin' say that we done it
When people talk about the Screwed Up Click, they will acknowledge our accomplishments and contributions

Man them boys done blew up, like the flight 800
We have achieved great success, similar to the explosion of flight 800

DJ Screw player, I'll never forget
As a DJ Screw player, I will always remember him

Represent S.U.C., forever my set
I will always represent and be a part of the Screwed Up Click

I'll never regret, the times we got blowed
I will never feel remorse for the moments we got high

On the road doing shows, all across the globe
Traveling and performing shows worldwide

It's your boy Willean, and I'm holding it down
I am Willean, and I am staying loyal and committed

Legendary status Screw, steady slowing it down
Screw has attained a status of greatness, consistently slowing down the music

For H-Town, for sure, we done lost a soldier
For Houston, it is definite that we have lost a brave individual

We goin' finish what you live, and I'ma put that on the Clover
We will carry on your legacy and I promise this with all my heart

It ain't over, pour and sipping the plain soda
This journey is not over, I will continue to drink and enjoy plain soda (no alcohol)

Switching lanes over, in my black Range Rover
Changing lanes while driving my black Range Rover

The Chemist that's right, I done shed some tears
I, the Chemist, have shed tears over the loss of Screw

All the car shows we wrecked, and bled for years
We put in a lot of effort and endured many hardships to make car shows successful

You one of my peers, DJ Screw you kept it real
You, DJ Screw, are someone I consider a peer, and you always remained true to yourself

You one of a kind, so you one out a mill
You are truly unique and irreplaceable

I'ma stay representing, South-side for live
I will continue to represent the South-side forever

And if S.U.C. get a deal, it's goin' be a hundred mill
If the Screwed Up Click secures a record deal, it will be worth a hundred million dollars

If nobody else, could feel my pain
If no one else could empathize with my suffering

It was you in my corner, through the heat and the rain
You were the one who supported me during both the difficult and easy times

Can't call one time, you didn't make me smile
There hasn't been a single occasion when you didn't bring a smile to my face

Took a fall in the Penn, boy you fed my child
When I faced a setback, you provided for my child

Kept my name on fire, like I never left
You kept my reputation alive, as if I never disappeared

Kept your eyes on my family, and never slept
You consistently looked out for my family's well-being, never resting

Snatched my ass out the streets, and put a mic in my hand
You saved me from a life involved in crime and placed a microphone in my hand

Put my strap on the shelf tray, my fiends for fans
I stopped carrying a weapon and my fans became my new source of inspiration

I was a hard head misled, seeking for bread
I was stubborn and misguided, searching for wealth

Without the music in my life, I know I would of been dead
If it wasn't for music, I am certain I would not be alive today

But the Lord sent you to me, like a guardian angel
God sent you to me as a protector and savior

When my feet was caught up in a tangle
When I was caught up in a difficult situation

So please smile for me, cause Screw you got me throwed in this game
So, please smile for me because Screw, you brought me into this industry

I salute you with my fist, your name was never in vain
I honor you with a raised fist, your name was always respected

See the plaque on the wall, all our dreams came true
Look at the plaque on the wall, it signifies that all our dreams have been realized

And I'm still giving thanks to you
And I continue to express my gratitude towards you
