15 ContributorsForget Me Not Lyrics [Intro] I don't wanna say goodbye Baby I don't wanna say goodbye (Can't let you go) I take the wrong way home I know that you come 'round I keep an eye on every place Just to care (I can't let you go) [Spoken: Rapsody] The hardest thing to do is to lose My greatest fear is death I was raised a Jehovah's Witness Yesterday, I went home I was helpin' my mom with her— Her talk for the theocratic ministry school, and she read, "There's nothin' to fear because the dead know nothing" I told her, "I wanna know everything I want to feel I wanna be alive" It's too good, even though the world is so bad We love too deep to really ever be at peace, you know? But the ones that have past (I can't let you go) I saw **** yesterday Jadon and Kendall were with me She said—I mean she told 'em, "Thank you for my card It made me cry I don't know why I just—I break out and cry every day" I said, "That's okay It just means you're alive You feel, you feel deeply, but is it?" (I don't wanna say goodbye) We shouldn't have to feel pain or hurt, really To have to try and release that ocean of sadness every day (Baby) How long she gon' have to cry before she's okay? (I don't wanna say goodbye) I miss her happy tears (I can't let you go) I miss havin' more happy days in the balance (I take the wrong way home) Psh 2020 was a doozy (I know that you come 'round) It was like blow after blow after blow A lot of people lost a lot of people (I keep an eye on every place) A lot of people had to tap into a lot of bad memories (Just to care) Then we continued our talk and she told me how much she fights to remember sometimes (I can't let you go) She say, "I got a lil' spell of Alzheimer's" [Skit 1] Yeah, your car smell like straight 1993 You're killin' me! He's killin' me! *laughs* *laughs* Oh, my God! He's killin' me! [Skit 2: Phylicia Rashad & Rapsody] You're back! Yes, I am back.​ Sit. Let me see this head of yours.​ *laughs* Mm! Look at all this growth.​ Do you see it? *laughs* A lotta growin'.​ Mm-hm! So much. *laughs* Just like this hair, the only way we can live is if we grow.​ Mm.​ And we grow because we change, and we change because we have learned, baby. We have been exposed.​ Yes.​ And the only way that we become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open.​ *laughs* *laughs* But you know that now! I do know that. I do.​ So, what is real and what is illusion, my love? Whatever I choose to believe.​
