Don't Forget

[Verse 1] It was still dark when Mark arrived Maybe 6:45 in the morning time In the tenth grade, we was tight friends But neither of us had a driver's license His aunt was a flight attendant And she'd leave town with a Cadillac unattended So we used to get tempted That intense tendency to tend to what we wasn't meant to We would skip out on class and shit To go visit other schools, just tryin to act cool And looking back I have to laugh at it Cause all we did was burn up gas and flunk math fool But still it was super ill I mean two teenagers in a new Seville With 1987 in the tapedeck That was a part of my life that I'll never forget It went... [Chorus] The soundtrack still runs through my head I gotta keep every single step As old as we get, we don't forget We won't forget We don't forget The soundtrack still runs through my head I gotta keep every single step As old as we get, we don't forget We won't forget We don't forget [Verse 2] And you can't tell me nothing about frontin We wasn't even sixteen yet, come on jump in Cruise control until we lose control Max the low end out to let it bruise my soul And god knows I should have been studying So maybe I could grow up and be somebody But I loved the looks that the girls shot at me from the bus stop When we pulled up in that caddy Good thing back then I had bad game Otherwise there probably be a few with my last name Better that my true love was rap Now let it auto reverse, until the bad dub snaps Felt so right, forgot we was wrong Sittin at a stop light, singin along When I look in my rearview now, what would I see If I didn't have the music in my history, now give it to me [Chorus] The soundtrack still runs through my head I gotta keep every single step As old as we get, we don't forget We won't forget We don't forget The soundtrack still runs through my head I gotta keep every single step As old as we get, we don't forget We won't forget We don't forget [Verse 3] And we was just a couple of kids It was right around the same time that nobody was beatin the biz Had that, and I know you got soul On a tape that I made, recorded em off a Travitron show (here we go) I was addicted to the radio Make my request, and wait for it Holdin my finger on the pause button, like "now go" I guess that was the original download Rap videos and girls digits A fifteen pack of blank cassettes for Christmas Used to steal mom's change if it's easy to We used to make up names for our graffiti crew Used to talk about makin it big And if we ever got rich, the way we would live Hey Mark, we ain't there yet but If you can hear my voice then turn your stereo up, like what... [Chorus] The soundtrack still runs through my head I gotta keep every single step As old as we get, we don't forget We won't forget We don't forget The soundtrack still runs through my head I gotta keep every single step As old as we get, we don't forget We won't forget We don't forget
