Unforgettable
Drake ft Young Jezzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me know, let me know
Ahh, let me know
Let me know, let me know

Uhh, 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
Thinkin' 'bout what we had and missin' you
But I ain't Santa, I got somethin' for these bad bitches too
I mean paparazzi on me tryin' 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 muthafuckin' heart out
It's 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 learnin' to behave
And still spendin' every dollar they encourage me to save
But I’m good, I know that niggas would kill for this lifestyle
I’m lookin' forward to the memories of right now
Never forgettin' from where I came
And no matter where I’m headed, I promise to stay the same
I'm just

I’m just ridin' 'round the city
With my hood on and my windows down
Ask your girl I’m the realest nigga she been around
When I pull up in something new and park it by the haters
And when you get to talkin' 'bout the greatest
I just really hope that (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 doing my thing, I'm doing my thing, I'm doing my thing
('Cause I'm tryna be unforgettable)

This just might be my realest flow ever (ever)
When I say "for life" y'all say "forever" (ever)
It's hard but it's fair, I told that girl life hurts (hurts)
The closest your gon' get to this is a Pac t-shirt (Young)
The name's Young baby you know I live that thug life (thug life)
The good die young so I’ma need a thug wife (thug wife)
Yeah, I’m talkin' 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 (sneak the car)
Now my insides looking like a Snickers bar
Yeah, I’m talking caramel leathers (leathers)
Damn right, so fly I need feathers (brr)
Same shit in them streets, so what's the dilly?
Young done everything in the A but fuck Chilli (ha ha)
So welcome to my life, no two days the same
Like for y'all to meet the love of my life her name's the game

I’m just ridin' 'round the city
With my hood on and my windows down
Ask your girl I’m the realest nigga she been around
When I pull up in something new and park it by the haters
And when you get to talkin' 'bout the greatest
I just really hope that (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 doing my thing, I'm doing my thing, I'm doing 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 brah, unforgettable
You’ll never forget this, ya understand me?




Timeless homie, unforgettable
(Let me know, let me know)
