I'mma buy you a limo, and we gon' go to Red Lobster
And you can get all the, all the lobster tails that you want
Cause I'mma be rich! Yeah I'mma be rich, uhh
When you make that money boy they say don't you forget 'em
When you make that money boy they say don't you forget 'em
When you make that money boy they say don't you forget 'em
Don't forget 'em, don't don't forget 'em
Don't forget 'em, don't don't forget 'em
Don't forget 'em, don't don't forget 'em
Don't forget 'em, Cons don't forget 'em
I finally got my first real money
So should I turn Hollywood? I probably could
And turn my back on the hood
And never go back, but I ain't with that
See this is where I learned to rap, and this is where I learned to scrap
And this is how I learned to stack
Penny by penny and bit by bit
Watchin' the older heads move brick by brick
And one hand would wash the other, and one aunt would watch your brother
And your father wound up watchin' your mother
And the prettiest smile you ever discovered
Becomes when you call her face
And your second cousin lost his case
They gave him 25-to-life, what a waste
And they tryin' to pay your lawyer, but they just ignore ya
So he ended up goin upstate, uhh
When you make that money boy they say don't you forget 'em

Don't forget 'em, don't don't forget 'em
Don't forget 'em, don't don't forget 'em
Don't forget 'em, don't don't forget 'em
Don't forget 'em, Cons don't forget 'em
I finally got my first real money so of course they all
Up in my grill 'cause they need help with the bills
And I'm like "Homie just chill. I got you my nig, just let me get big"
And I promise I'll be back, 'cause I need the feedback
And the honesty every time that you react
'Cause nothin' can buy that, nothin' provides that
'Cept when you drive back
And cruise through the blocks of the hood you're from
To holla at your folks, that's the rule of thumb
'Cause y'all came up together, y'all was crew from young
But some of them went on to abuse them drugs
Confusin' love, for they addiction
Now they out there on a mission
And lost sight of the do's and don'ts
But I'll be wrong if I forgot so I won't
When you make that money boy they say don't you forget 'em
When you make that money boy they say don't you forget 'em
When you make that money boy they say don't you forget 'em

Now that I have made some money, I could choose to leave the hood, but I won't because this is where I grew up and learned invaluable lessons about rap, hustling, and money management. I watched the elder generation move step-by-step, with mutual support, and how a single decision can affect the entire family. Unfortunately, my second cousin went down the wrong path and got a life sentence, though they still try to pay the lawyer. Therefore, I will not forget my roots and will stand by those who need support in my community.

After earning my first significant financial gain, those I know are now coming to me for help to pay off their bills, but I know I need to focus on becoming even more successful. I promise to return and check in with my community for honest feedback since it is priceless and cannot be bought. When I do come back, I will drive around my old neighborhood and visit those I grew up with because they were my crew since childhood. Unfortunately, some have gone down the wrong path and become addicted to drugs, but I won't forget them and will keep supporting my fellow community members.
You are me, and I am you
And I won't ever forget, word
Uhh
We are all connected, and I won't ever forget that.

For those of us that love hip hop in such an immeasurable way, it's painful when the artists you want to hear the most, are silent, like Cons. Man, I wish he was active and just out there for his music to enjoy. This guy is amazing and I say that with the experience of a life lived from the very start of Hip Hop back in the late 70's until today. Hip Hop is about love, joy, pain, the stuggle, the past and the future, and, many other things. This is such an amazing song. His work with ATCQ is also amazing, everything he does is amazing. Where you at Cons?

This brings me back to 10 years ago. I have a vivid memory of driving to my girl's house high as shit in a snowstorm. Something about that moment always stuck with me. This was the song that was playing.
