Amnesia - Reef The Lost Cauze

Out of my own image, I made you from it

Straight out the cradle dawg, I raised you from it

Your life suck, I saved you from it

You got fat off of all the food that I gave your stomach

You had beef, I’m hoppin' in the ride with you

They shoot you, they shoot me, I prolly would’ve died with you

I ain’t had five, I still got high with you

But now a line’s been drawn I can’t side with you

We were like two brothers, but you mother

Fucker, discovered your true colors

I had to turn my back on you

Now in the street I can’t turn my back on you

You might have the mac on you

Whatever you needed, I would’ve given that to you

But now when I see you, I think about clappin' you

Real recognize real I can’t rap to you

I can’t pretend no more it’s not natural

All the things that I did for, you must’ve forgot

I went out on a limb for, you must’ve forgot

Damn, man almost got killed for you, you must’ve forgot

The tables have turned, the bridges have burned

All the things that I did for, you must’ve forgot

I went out on a limb for, you must’ve forgot

Damn, man almost got killed for you, you must’ve forgot

Now the tables have turned, the bridges have burned

You used to say I wouldn’t be shit

But things done changed and now oh, you ain’t really mean it

That tune was wack, you ain’t like that beat right?

Now every weeknight you sendin' me an e-vite

A Myspace comment

And now spittin' on my dick so hard you damn near vomitin'

Critics listen, damn near silenced them

Lyrics listen, damn near astonishin'

And you caught on late

I got the footage in my brain homie, you caught on tape

I knew everything you thought before you swore I was great

Now everything you say you look like more of a fake

Call yourself tryin' to build with me, collab and shit

That’s cool motherfucker but I need cash to spit

If you were true from day one I wouldn’t ask for shit

But now for you, all I got is my black ass to kiss

Motherfucker

All the things that I did for, you must’ve forgot

I went out on a limb for, you must’ve forgot

Damn, man almost got killed for you, you must’ve forgot

Now the tables have turned, the bridges have burned

All the things that I did for, you must’ve forgot

I went out on a limb for, you must’ve forgot

Damn, man almost got killed for you, you must’ve forgot

Now the tables have turned, the bridges have burned

You out here wilin', livin' your life without respect

You must’ve forgot about the struggle of Malcolm X

Or Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther and all the rest

The marches you let the dogs tear apart they flesh

They caged us, enslaved us, raped us

Played us, made us hate us, when you gon' wake up?

It wasn’t so long ago that you’d get lynched for thinkin'

Water fountains marked 'white' you get killed for drinkin'

The way you carry yourself

Don’t you know when you kill your community you bury yourself?

I’m not preachin' it just pisses me off

When a man stand up for his people you’ll say that he’s soft

If he kills one of your own, you’ll feel that he’s strong

There ain’t a person alive who couldn’t tell me that’s wrong

The kids future… we ruined it for 'em

The white man ain’t got to kill us brother, we doin' it for 'em

And that’s real

The middle passage when we were enslaved, you must’ve forgot

In our faces fire hose were sprayed, you must’ve forgot

You the reason we turnin' in our graves, you must’ve forgot

Can’t you remember us, can’t you remember us?

The middle passage when we were enslaved, you must’ve forgot

In our faces fire hose were sprayed, you must’ve forgot

You the reason we turnin' in our graves, you must’ve forgot

Can’t you remember us, can’t you remember us?
