Unforgettable
Drake (ft. Young Jeezy) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me know, let me know
Ooh, let me know, let me know let me know

Uh, yeah this is really one of my dumbest flows ever
I haven't slept in days
And me and my latest girl agreed to go our separate ways
So I'm single thinking about what we had and missing you
But I ain't Santa, I got something for these bad bitches too
I mean paparazzi on me trying not to get caught out
They always seem to catch me with the woman that I brought out
Baby don't hold on too long cause that's how them stories start out
And all the girls that played me eat your motherfucking heart out, its Drizzy
Always gone but never hard to find
And since you can't escape me do I ever cross your mind
Because all this shit is new to me, I'm learning to behave
And still spending every dollar they encourage me to save
But I'm good I know that niggas would kill for this lifestyle
I'm looking forward to the memories of right now
Never forgetting from where I came
And no matter where I'm headed
I promise to stay the same (yeah, look)

I'm just riding round the city with my hood on and my windows down
Ask your girl I'm the realest nigga she been around
I pull up in something new and park it by the haters
And when you get to talking 'bout the greatest

(I just really hope that) You'll think of me
(I just really hope that) You'll think of me
(I just really hope that) You'll think of me
(I'm doin' my thing) 'Cause I'm tryna be unforgettable

This just might be my realest flow ever
When I say fo' life, y'all say fo'ever (fo'ever)
It's hard but it's fair I told that girl life hurts
The closest your gone get to this is a Pac T-shirt
The names young, baby you know I live that thug life
The good die young so I'm gone need a thug wife
Yeah, I'm talking his and her firearms
Know our jewelry probably louder than a car alarm (yeah)
Yeah, I remember I used to have to sneak the car
Now my insides looking like a snickers bar
Yeah, I'm talking caramel leathers
Damn right, so fly I need feathers
Sayin' shit in the streets so whats the dilly
You done everything in the A but fuck Chilli (haha)
So welcome to my life no two days the same
Like for y'all to meet the love of my life, her names the game

I'm just riding round the city with my hood on and my windows down
Ask your girl I'm the realest nigga she been around
I pull up in something new and park it by the haters
And when you get to talking 'bout the greatest

(I just really hope that) You'll think of me
(I just really hope that) You'll think of me
(I just really hope that) You'll think of me
(I'm doin' my thing) 'Cause I'm tryna be unforgettable

Got my top dropped on this beautiful night
This beautiful night to live my beautiful life
Pain hurts like a cut from a beautiful knife
Just know she right here on my hip, my beautiful wife

Yeah, Drizzy we got 'em lil' bra




Unforgettable, ya never forget this
You understand me? Timeless homie, unforgettable (Let me know, let me know)

Overall Meaning

The song Unforgettable by Drake ft. Young Jeezy is about Drake's recent break up and the struggles that come with it. He hasn't been sleeping well and is missing his ex-girlfriend, but acknowledges that he is still a ladies' man and is enjoying the attention he gets from the paparazzi. Drake is introspective in this song and is learning how to behave in his new-found celebrity lifestyle while still trying to remain true to himself. He also talks about the sacrifices he had to make to get to where he is now.


Young Jeezy's verse is more focused on his own life experiences and the struggles he overcame to become successful. He mentions the dangers of living a thug life and how it's hard but fair. He also speaks about the importance of having a "thug wife" and being prepared to defend oneself. The chorus repeats several times, and Drake is hoping that even when people talk about the greatest people in the world, they won't forget him because he's trying to be unforgettable.
