Forgotten
Snak the Ripper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah this lifes a trip,
You can go from ain't having shit,
Only to take your spot when you slip,
Shave some hundos off of you not,
Homie watching you pick.
To keep your company,
'cuz nobody want to work,
But everybody wanna' live their lifes comfortably.
They all dreamin' of the finer things,
Designer clothes and diamond rings,
Won't last long, like the kind of pleasure a vagina brings.
Gotta' stick to your own homie,
Watch for your dictions,
Sick with no home somewhere lost in the distance.
You can get what you want,
Just practice persistance,
You're the only person in controlling your existance.
So make every minute count,
When They say you won't amount,
Show 'em what you're all about.
Forget about your sorrow 'cuz,
Everything you have right now could be all gone tomorow 'cuz
Changes come time moves on,
The clock is never stoppin'
Don't pay attention to the bullshit these people talkin'
One day you're on top but then suddenly your shit ain't poppin'
People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten.
Changes come time moves on,
The clock is never stoppin'
Don't pay attention to the bullshit these people talkin'
One day you're on top but then suddenly your shit ain't poppin'
People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten.
It's when you're goin' through hurts,
Concentrate on nothin',
Soak up the beat and the verse,
Always check your shoulder homie you can't see in reverse.
Remeber money comes and goes,
So even when the funds are low,
Try to keep above the surface,
Fightin' with the undertoe.
Why you find that hard to believe?
You get your arm broken trying to wear your heart on your sleave.
Don't make your decisions only based on emotions,
Keep your mouth shut homie,
And your ears wide open.
Trying to make a positive impression,
Life's a prize that lies in your possession.
Aggression is a sign of the weak,
Jealousy the same listen to the words that I speak.
People change, turn quick to burn you with the stake,
I just wrote this shit,
So maybe you could learn from my mistakes man.
Changes come time moves on,
The clock is never stoppin'
Don't pay attention to the bullshit these people talkin'
One day you're on top but then suddenly your shit ain't poppin'
People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten.
Changes come time moves on,
The clock is never stoppin'
Don't pay attention to the bullshit these people talkin'
One day you're on top but then suddenly your shit ain't poppin'
People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten.
I say people love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten,
I say people love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten,




I say people love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten
I say people love you one day ...

The second verse provides advice for those struggling with emotional pain or financial hardship. The rapper urges listeners to focus on the present moment, and to remember that money comes and goes but personal growth and character development are more enduring.

Lyrics by Musicxmatch

Yeah
Yeah, this lifes a trip
You can go from ain't having shit
To makin' the grip
Enemies stay close
Only to take your spot when you slip
Shave some hundos off of you not
Homie watching you pick
To keep your company
'Cause nobody want to work
But everybody wanna' live their lifes comfortably
They all dreamin' of the finer things
Designer clothes and diamond rings
Won't last long, like the kind of pleasure a vagina brings
Gotta' stick to your own homie
Watch for your dictions
Sick with no home somewhere lost in the distance
You can get what you want
Just practice persistance
You're the only person in controlling your existance
So make every minute count
When in doubt
When they say you won't amount
Shut 'em out
Show 'em what you're all about
Live your life
Fall in love
Forget about your sorrow 'cause
Everything you have right now could be all gone tomorow 'cause
Changes come time moves on
The clock is never stoppin'
Don't pay attention to the bullshi- these people talkin'

One day you're on top but then suddenly your shi- ain't poppin'
People love you one day but by sunday you're forgotten

You get your arm broken trying to wear your heart on your sleave
Don't make your decisions only based on emotions

One of the best examples of pure hip hop. Just a dude spitting some real dope shit over a simple yet dope beat. No cars, no bitches, no big budget, just straight up love and respect for the craft.
