Not Forgotten

IYANYA ONOYOM MBUK

We used to sit down talk bout big things
You had big dreams yeah
Talking money fame and power
Positive vibing every midnight hour
You used to tell me say my brother you be family
A beg make you no trust in nobody
Say make I put my trust in the Most High
And if I put in work them I'm goon fly
I wish say you still dey my side o
Real ones like you hard to find o (I'm out here putting in work and there's no giving up no)
Tell your family I fullfilled your dreams
Your little girl don turn your queen
Your young boy self don dey kinging
Be rest assured God dey on the ceiling
You gone but not forgotten
Never forget (I cannot forget you)
You gone but not forgotten
Never forget you (I cannot forget you)

2010 I remember
I dey for backstage for Abuja
Na from home wey dem call me (Iyanya something happen to mummy)
Wetin (Eeeh eh)
Wetin (Oooh oh)
Shey mummy don go so (Yeah God damn)
I know she's smiling down on me
I know she's up there praying for me
Sometimes when it gets lonely ma
I wish you could call me
Hey ma see your baby boy made it
Thankful for all that you taught me (Taught me)
And the way that you loved me (Loved)
Wish you were here I miss you

And you're gone but not forgotten (I miss you ma)
Hmm
And you're gone but not forgotten
And that's why I sing this one
To the homies we lost
Lovers we lost
To you missing someone
I dedicate this one to
To the homies we lost
Lovers we lost
To you missing someone

I was scared to jump on this song
Cause I thought I didn't have the words (But it's funny)
When you speak about the pain is when you realize much it hurts (How much it hurts)
They say that time heals all but I realize that only love does
So lets live for the ones that love us still
Tomorrow isn't guaranteed!!!!
Do it for my unborn
Do it for the family and momma told me life is deep (Life's deep)
Recognize a real one, trying to save your energy and live your life homie (Homie)
Last time I checked I don't think we got a second
Life needs ginger savour every second
Gone not forgotten that's forgiven

You yeah
Gone not forgotten
Always always be

Hold on to big dreams the future that could be
Cause sometimes the good things are
Buried in you (Buried in you yeah)
Hold on to big dreams the future that could be
Cause the truth is your love is forever with you
