Consequence - Don't Forget 'Em

[Intro:]
Man, I promise, when I get old enough, I'ma buy you a limo, and we gon' go to Red Lobster, and you can get all the... all the lobster tail that you want. ‘Cause I'ma be rich! Yeah, I'ma be rich!

[Chorus:]
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, Cons, don't forget 'em!

[Verse 1:]
I finally got my first real money,
So should I turn Hollywood? I probably could,
And turn my back on the hood,
And never go back, but I ain't with that.
See, this is where I learned to rap, and this is where I learned to scrap,
And this is how I learned to stack,
Penny by penny and bit by bit,
Watchin' the older heads move brick by brick.
And one hand would wash the other, and one aunt would watch your brother,
And your father wound up watchin' your mother,
And the prettiest smile you ever discovered
Becomes when you call her face.
And your second cousin lost his case,
They gave him 25-to-life, what a waste!
And they tryna pay your lawyer, but they just ignore ya,
So he ended up goin upstate.

[Chorus:]
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, Cons, don't forget 'em!

[Verse 2:]
I finally got my first real money, so, of course, they all
Up in my grill ‘cause they need help with the bills.
And I'm like, "Homey, just chill,
I got you, my nig, just let me get big."
And I promise I'll be back, ‘cause I need the feedback,
And the honesty every time that you react.
‘Cause nothing can buy that, nothing provides that,
'Cept when you drive back
And cruise through the blocks of the hood you're from
To holla at your folks, that's the rule of thumb.
‘Cause y'all came up together, y'all was crew from young,
But some of them went on to abuse them drugs,
Confusing love for they addiction,
Now they out there on a mission,
And lost sight of the dos and donts,
But I'll be wrong if I forgot, so I won't.

[Chorus:]
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, Cons, don't forget 'em!

You are me, and I am you.
And I won't ever forget, word!

[Chorus:]
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
When you make that money, boy, they say, don't you forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, don't, don't forget 'em!
Don't forget 'em, Cons, don't forget 'em!
