The forgotten army

Fantasized about a life Simplified, a paradise Nothing good came easy Every love would leave me No shame, 'cause I played this game And it gave me everything Lost faith 'cause I saved myself And I don't need anything So for one last time This is for my friends Who put needles in their veins Who society erased Hope their children all escape This is to the men Who wished death upon my name Tried to push me to my grave Swore I'd never fucking cave Sacrifice, sleepless nights Wasting time, a wicked vice Time had made me heartless It didn't leave me scarless No shame, 'cause I played this game And it gave me everything Lost faith 'cause I saved myself And I don't need anything Until my heart stops Until my heart stops beating This is for my friends Who put needles in their veins Who society erased Hope their children all escape This is to the men Who wished death upon my name Tried to push me to my grave Swore I'd never fucking cave I have spent my life chasing things That had only brought me pain In the end, when I'm dead Hope it was for something Hope it was all for something Hope it was for something This is for the ones Who put poison in their veins Who society degrades Hope their children can escape This is to the men Who wished death upon my name Tried to push me to my grave Swore I'd never fucking cave

Where in the world's the forgotten? They're lost inside your memory You're dragging on, your heart's been broken As we all go down in history Where in the world did the time go? It's where your spirit seems to roam Like losing faith to our abandon Or an empty hallway from a broken home Well don't look away From the arms of a bad dream Well don't look away Sometimes, you're better lost than to be seen I don't feel strange, it's more like haunted Another moment trapped in time I can't quite put my finger on it But it's like a child that was left behind So, where in the world's the forgotten? Like soldiers from a long lost war We share the scars from our abandon And what we remember becomes folklore Well don't look away From the arms of a bad dream Don't look away Sometimes, you're better lost than to be seen Well don't look away From the arms of a moment Don't look away From the arms of tomorrow Well don't look away From the arms of a moment Don't look away From the arms of love Well don't look away From the arms of a bad dream Don't look away Sometimes, you're better lost than to be seen Well don't look away From the arms of a moment Well don't look away From the arms of tomorrow Well don't look away From the arms of a moment Don't look away From the arms of love

All alone, staring on Watching her life go by When her days are gray and her nights are black Different shades of mundane And the one-eyed furry toy that lies upon the bed Has often heard her cry And heard her whisper out a name long forgiven But not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're not forgotten A bleeding heart torn apart Left on an icy grave In the room where they once lay, face to face Nothing could get in their way But now the memories of a man are haunting her days And the craving never fades She's still dreaming of a man long forgiven But not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're not forgotten Still alone, staring on Wishing her life goodbye As she goes searching for the man long forgiven But not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're forgiven, not forgotten You're not forgotten You're not forgotten No, you're not forgotten

Whatever takes to lay to rest all competition, I do So pray to repent that those devout forgottenwill not find you Don't make an attempt to follow, wallow in your own discomfort Discover how to pay your respects, accept them as your brother I'm leaving a path through trails of mud Anointing all those in pales of blood Then focus their lives on lies And find they're hopeless in eyes of mind and why We not designed, we right on time And when we arrive we get it live Just acknowledge we on fire Nine Leaves are the set design Record time remaining nameless Formless cause your forms are shameless You've forgotten where you're from And all your flaws that made you famous Threats are painless, aim this at your heart to make the pain lift Shape-shift on this track to scratch your name right off the game's list Plain shit I am sick of rappers Pissed cause I'm a sicker cracker Fire blacking out the room of places that you stage your acting You've forgotten where's your passion Need to ask, that's my infraction Show me where your skills at and I'll show you how to hack and slash 'em Some are being pushed through the machine And being told what to do They're not challenging themselves anymore They forget about themselves as an artist That may be how it evolved, but that's not necessarily how it has to be though Some do what they want to I'm backhanding the game, she ain't treating us right I ain't really the one but I cherish her life I blame the change on us, the same must go for me Our love is deep but I only write once a week Listen, I never held a nine besides my 9 to 9 No jail time, trust me, my life is fine I even rhyme in a suit Cause my pursuit of happiness is to spit the truth You lose And I don't got to change up my flow It is what it is, you can ride or you don't You'll decide as I go Every line you can scope I ain't losing sleep You could live a lie but I won't I ain't beat money, you could talk about all your doe Man life is sweet You could peep my gut as it grows Hold the cheddar for the cheese And your beef for the streets Two sides of a coin, my point, we both eat So yes, I really got to say this is great You can hate on my hate so your hate's just the same Don't be mad at me homie I paved my own lane Speaking honestly, homie you're a waste of a name A waste of my space man, check out my frame I'm drained but I still speak my piece This last piece of hate For these you'll take heat Y'all wear shades in the club I'll rock mine on the beach Please It's a competitive sport, Hip Hop Everything is "I, I, I" because you have to prove that you're the better emcee And of course, it's a business Hip Hop wasn't derived from that There is this other dimension of Hip Hop There are these songs all over the world They've already forgotten How it sounds, felt the taste it Before the industry reshaped it and raped it Landscaped your face, now you're the Mona Lisa You got to do what they do or they won't release you The fans may greet you, but you can't look them in the eyes I guess your hustling features was just a disguise Make us believe you, at least you could try You want to get rich lying relying on false pride Sold your soul for the price of the gold and the ice Now you're a hoe with no hold and they're controlling your life You were exposed to the light but prefer being dumb The who, what, where When will you remember one The place you've begun Look what you've become Succumb to what sucks for a successful some Regrets you'll have some Respect you'll have none Cause when it's all said and done you're one loss was the love People are forgetting who they are, what Hip Hop culture is, and why they're doing it That's the forgotten Everybody in Hip Hop is not an artist You're doing what you think people want you to do rather than who you are There's no innovation Have you ever had the feeling of being in slow-mo The type of case that comes with a thinking of "oh no" Or had a vision showing your future as so low But without a way in which you could alter or re-sow Well I'm a bring it through like a leader that bestows A speech upon his men that'll heed 'em to let go Of the artificial skin that just keeps 'em in limbo These seeds will bring the being intended to first grow You're heading to and fro on a path that is void of pride Happy to put aside who you are on the inside In truth I can't surmise if this turned out all by design Did you intend to play the fool or did other people decide Did managers advise you sever ties for prize Well now your dragon slumbers while goblins are on the rise I'm trudging through the snow while you building a man of lies I'm speaking to your soul but it's greeting me with goodbyes And now it's time to hide cause I'm wrecking your false disguise I'm stepping through the haze with intention to bring demise And when the rug gets pulled and the mirror brings its surprise Look into your eyes with the question of "who am I?"
