Don’t Forget About Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your family lookin' like a prayer song
Your mama at the table cryin', all her hair gone
Feelin' fishy, Finding Chemo, smokin' seaweed for calm
These Disney movies too close
You title email "Noname, thank you for your sweet Telefone
It saves lives"
The secret is I'm actually broken
I tried to raise a healin', kneelin' at the edge of the ocean
Somebody, somebody said it saves lives
Who holds my hand tonight? I think the glass half-full
Who pray me back to Englewood?
I shouldn't bleed this good, Holy conundrum
I'm the prayer, the hope, the bank account, wishin' bone for my loved ones
Tell 'em Noname still don't got no money
Tell 'em Noname almost passed out drinkin'
Secret is, she really think it saves lives
Somebody hit D'Angelo, I think I need him on this one
Brothers and sisters, mamas, cousins, uncles, everyone
Missin' somebody, dancin' daylight

[Chorus]
I know everyone goes someday
I know my body's fragile, know it's made from clay
But if I have to go, I pray my soul is still eternal
And my mama don't forget about me
I pray my mama don't forget about me
I pray my granny don't forget about me
I know everyone goes someday
I know my body's fragile, know it's made from clay
But if I have to go, I pray my soul is still eternal
And my mama don't forget about me
I pray my mama don't forget about me
I pray my daddy don't forget about me

[Verse 2]
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty, changed my city
Titties 13K, the pretty costs these days
My doctor really love me, how I'm only half-awake
I just came from the funeral, my ugly passed away
Welcome to Beverly Hills
Welcome to Vicodin, I took the pills
I think they save lives
I just hope that they right
All I am is everything and nothing at all
All I am is shoulder for your heart to lean on
All I am is love
All I am is love

[Chorus]
I know everyone goes someday
I know my body's fragile, know it's made from clay
But if I have to go, I pray my soul is still eternal
And my mama don't forget about me
I pray my mama don't forget about me
I pray my granny don't forget about me
I know everyone goes someday
I know my body's fragile, know it's made from clay
But if I have to go, I pray my soul is still eternal
And my mama don't forget about me
I pray my mama don't forget about me
I pray my daddy don't forget about me
