[Intro]
(Helluva made this beat, baby)

[Chorus]
So how could I forget, n***a? Huh?
How could I forget when I done seen so much shit when I was in that bitch?
I done seen so much shit when I was in that bitch
Man, I done seen so much shit when I was in that bitch
So how could I forget, how could I forget, n***a? (I remember that shit like it was yesterday dawg)

[Verse 1]
Ayy, when I done seen n***as get fried in that courtroom (N***as got cooked, n***a)
Boy and they thought they was comin' home (They just knew it)
When I done seen a judge take of all a n***a dreams (Man)
And crush them bitches up like they was some brittle bones (Fried 'em)
When I done seen n***as with trial the next day (Psh)
And they know a life sentence just a day away (Oh shit)
And they balled up in their bed 'cause they really scared
In they head, they know that jury ain't finna play (They know it)
Seen n***as make bond and get let out them gates
Hope they understand bond ain't the end of that case (You ain't free)
Caught that case when he was young, but he got out with grades
Judge'll body a n***a without usin' a grave, you hear me? (He'll kill you)
That prosecutor paint that picture and they find you guilty? (Aw, man)
I don't think y'all n***as really hear me (That shit be crazy)
When them people say a n***a really did it (They say "Guilty?")
It's gon' hurt so much at first, you ain't gon' really hear it (I might pass out)
I done seen a n***a come home from ten years (Whole ten, man)
And get killed in the same day (Knocked off)
And I done seen a n***a come home twenty years (Whole dub, n***a)
And get locked right back up for the same thing (Man)
[Chorus]
So how could I forget, n***a? Huh? (I'll never forget that shit, man)
I can't forget that shit (Never) 'cause I seen so much shit when I was in that bitch
Man, I done seen so much shit when I was in that bitch
I done seen so much shit when I was in that bitch (You see some shit in that bitch)
So how could I forget? Huh, how could I forget? Ayy (Man, you tell yourself, "I ain't ever never goin' back n***a")

[Verse 2]
When this n***a named P, he was my bunkie right? (Down in Lexington)
Smooth n***a, still a youngin' right? (I fucked with bro)
Had a lot of hoes he was fuckin', right? (He had the hoes, fasho)
Picked the wrong bitch, he shouldn't of fucked this night (Man)
She got my n***a jammed on some rape shit (She was lyin' tho)
But she lied on 'em on some fake shit (That shit crazy)
I finally saw 'em and I asked how the case went
He said, they gave 'em fourty-seven years in the state pen (That n***a was cryin' tears)
And my n***a P just knew that he was comin' home (He just knew it)
I feel your pain my n***a, that shit crushed my soul
That case was weak as hell, bro they did you bold
All that money to the lawyer, bro, he 'posed to got you home
This old head, Marco, he was a motherfucker (Yeah, Marco)
They offered 'em seven years for attempted murder (In Louisville)
He said, "Nah, lil' bro, I got 'em beat, trail on the seventeenth, they gotta shoot me to the streets" (Told him he was gettin' out)
I ain't never seen a grown n***a cry so hard (He was ballin')
It was a sad scene, even for the guards (Man)
Came back from trial and I asked 'em, "How yo' case go?" ("Hey, how yo' case go?")
He said, "Young n***a, I'm dyin' on the yard" (I got life)
[Chorus]
Shit
Man
So how could I forget, n***a? (Feel a n***a pain, see what happened to him, like) Huh?
How could I forget when I seen so much shit when I was in that bitch? (Tryna tell you, man)
I done seen so much shit when I was in that bitch
Man, I done seen so much shit when I was in that bitch (If y'all n***as free right now, stay free, n***a)
So how could I forget n***a, how could I forget?

[Verse 3]
When Stacey signed for life without parole, n***a (Did what?)
He say, "It ain't about pride, it's what you know, n***a (What you mean?)
I can't beat my case, if I go to trial, they gon' give me life
I ain't 'bout to do that on death row, n***a" (Damn)
This one n***a asked my n***a Tru about his case ("What happen with yo' shit?")
And Tru told 'em about how he killed a man (I popped his ass)
Out of nowhere, the nosey n***a charges got dropped
But when Tru went to trial, he saw him on the stand (He ratted)
I ain't hear from my mans, I ain't hear from the fam (At all)
'Til I had five months left, but I ain't need 'em then (I'm comin' home)
I needed n***as when I was lookin' at fifty years
You want forgiveness, then you gotta give me back them tears (Cry for me)
I remember when they wrote me from that state joint (That state joint in St. Louis)
Took me away from that day for day joint (Yeah)
My first time seein' a n***a get a buck fifty (Shit)
I swear you saw that n***a teeth through his face, boy (Bitch, come here)
That ain't none of yo' business, n***a, just do your bid (Just keep walkin' n***a)
Thinkin' to myself like, "I can't do this shit" (Get the fuck out of here)
Then I finally came home and a n***a did that bitch (Did that bitch)
Knocked on my grandma door like, "You know who it is" (What's up baby?)
[Outro]
Yeah, I just got out a couple days ago
You know I had to go freshen up and get my stuff together first before I came and seen you, but man, I missed y'all man
Nah, you ain't gotta worry about me goin' back to that motherfucker, I ain't gon' lie
Ain't shit in there for me, I'm too cool for that shit, you know?
What's up with you, though?
Nah, I ain't heard from 'em
They said they had somethin' for me when I come home, but you know how that go
It's all good though, we'll be alright
