1982 - Hard to Forget lyrics

rate me

Statik Selektah & Termanology

It’s hard to forget you, but

Hard to forget you, but, goodbye

Remember me, I was the one you used to call

When you needed a pound or needed a ball

Man I had it all, it used to be fun

When you took it off the bag, put it on your gum

I used to put it on the bag, sell it to the slums

Made a lot of ones, drama it will come

Got me in some trouble, man I stuck around

Cause he was the best friend in the half of town

Had a lot of friends, where are they now

Roaches when the lights went out, look how they bounce

Shit was extra real, made a lot of loot

Lot of fake soldiers, lot of phoney troops

When the law came in, how they ran away

Put a big black cloud on my rainy day

I know it’s hard to neglect it and disrespect it but

I had to forget you

It’s hard to forget you, but

Hard to forget you, but, goodbye

It’s hard to forget you, but

Hard to forget you, but, goodbye

My loyalty it seems it’s destroying me

Friends getting me into shit, my blood boiling

Open up the newspaper look at my face

Another chase, another high profile case

If I front it, you were packing, you never paid me back just know

I ain’t forget it, but you just … your credit

Not a chicken wing, not a French fry, not a piece of gum

Not even a pull of a mid grey reefer blunt

Sorry for being blunt but I can’t stand a snake

Just another hand to shake

I turn to any name, cause betrayal to me is getting way old

All them favors y’all ask, and I ain’t never say no

And I ain’t tryna act like I’m sitting here with a haylow

But I ain’t never snaked nobody over no pesos

What goes around comes around and around again

Tell her friend, never piss in the wind

It’s hard to forget you, but

Hard to forget you, but, goodbye

It’s hard to forget you, but

Hard to forget you, but, goodbye

We was once 2 brothers of the same kind

Quick to holler at a Shawty with the same line

Who would know you would get my man state time

Don’t even try to explain homie, I hate lies

Thought we was blood brothers, boys to the graves

Now I see you on the streets and I don’t even wave

Can’t believe you sent my little brother to the cage

And to think I used to let you chill upon the stage

Times change but it’s sad when your friends do

And playing somehow look … how you meant to

Cause he’s a friend who supposed to drive a benz too

But now he … you, cause he struggling when the rents due

Life changes in a flash so I never hit gas

I keep it real with my friends from the past

And a lot of cats out there, I wanna call your name out

But out of respect, I choose to forget.
