Looking back, this song glorifies suicide. I didn’t realize that, and it was entirely unintentional, I apologize none the less. Focus on how he was failed by the system, story, and a poor environment. Please get professional help if you have suicidal thoughts, this song doesn’t show the after math of suicide. [chorus] “God have you forgotten about me? “Do you not remember?” “No wonder theirs no light in the ghetto” “God can you come back?” [verse] Mama said slow down, I still hear that boy Chris yell as his voice still echos around, That day the Crips put him in the ground. Lil J said “that boy Dante took my Money” He beat my reputation like a punching bag, Use to be a friend who I grew up with playing tag, Now he just lies for his own bag. Tyrone is selling drugs, he tries to hide it but I always see thugs at his house I even saw on Instagram he has a plug emoji in his name, I gotta consider moving out of the ghettos game. [chorus] “God have you forgotten about me? “Do you not remember?” “No wonder theres no light in the ghetto” “God can you come back?” [verse] The scripture seems to be the only source of light God is that part right? I guess that explains why the ghetto is always dark as night. I still have nightmares of Chris getting shot up dead, I swore to get revenge with a cross in my head. The Bloods been hanging out with Tyrone, While I sit alone at home, today I sat on the bridge, it’s unknown whether i’ll actually hit the stone. [chorus] “God have you forgotten about me? “Do you not remember?” “No wonder theirs no light in the ghetto” “God can you come back?” [verse] I got evicted now I’m living in the streets, Tyrone living large while I’m stuck feelin beat. Is this my defeat? God don’t fail me now, The devil is on my tail how? Wow now I’m hungry and all my friends are gone or dead, the whole family left me for dead. Mama is the only one who cares and my dad’s dead, why is life this way? Why God can you say? So I walk to the bridge. So now I’ll close my eyes, took the leap now I’m up in the sky, leaving this world behind because I got my wings to fly. (No… pick up…) [instrumental fadeout]
