Forget It Lyrics by Illy

Two Degrees

2016

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Came a long way man, from tours
First act on doing encores
Fit in or stand out, either or
Quick to pick which I want more
Went high grade, gone top drawer
Game on point, numbers on board
Made my second home airport floors
Been on call for those long hauls
Damn (damn) Said I'd do it, I did it (I did it)
Put my mark on map like I googled the image (Ayy)
Let 'em get used to the shit, nothing usual in it (Yeah)
I took my backpack and my accent there and back and, there and back again
Yeah this life's a bitch but I fit this bitch like a black dress
I say

[Pre-Chorus]
Same shit different story, that's a hard sell
And they ain't big enough to sell it
Always talking 'bout those tall tales
Never doing it before they said it
Whole squad like fuck the guard rails
So they can be the ones to tell it
We just live up to all those tall tales
And man if you don't know by now forget it

[Chorus]
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it

[Verse 2]
And I been gone longer than I woulda liked
Let me put that right, yeah, I took my time
'Cause number four did damage, so cooking five
I locked the kitchen down, mixed good advice
With too many late nights in St Kilda, too many late nights in the L.E.S
I'm pound for pound the best, and this is where the buck stops, my two cents, not a penny less
So what I miss? Man, let me guess
Some poser shit, faux heaviness
I don't rock the boat, I capsize the bitch
And if this the wave, they all getting swept
I'm the architect of my success
Hand made this house of cards, went upper deck
Since Cinematic came and went
I reload, five deep this round, no time for breath goddamn
Tried to let y'all miss me for a second
Come back and I hear my influence on all these rappers records
And goddamn, even I'm over reiterating the message
But it feels like if I ain't here to remind how quickly they forget it
That I'm geed up, I've been up, I'm living la vida
That bullshit, you ain't bout that life man, me either
Damn, the boys back, I II tell you something for nothing
I ain't mad I missed these summers, it's just been motherfuckers
Saying the

[Pre-Chorus]
Same shit different story, that's a hard sell
And they ain't big enough to sell it
Always talking 'bout those tall tales
Never doing it before they said it
Whole squad like fuck the guard rails
So they can be the ones to tell it
We just live up to all those tall tales
And man if you don't know by now forget it

[Chorus]
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it
Whatever man. If you don't know by now
Forget it

[Verse 3]
I'm no side show, I'm no life coach, Mr. Tightrope don't slip, nuh uh
Tall poppies get clipped But how many track stems you gotta dig, damn
Made my own lane, they rehashing, yawning at their bars
Yea got it, you rhyme, blah de blah, count myself to sleep with all the ways they rap bout rapping
Two classics under my belt, another put an ARIA on my shelf
And the other was my first one, didn't make that for anyone else
And still it's onwards, upwards, let it build
Crossing genres, bending steel
If you don't respect what it takes to make this look easy by now, you never will

[Outro]
You never will, you never will
So here we go again
Oh, oh
So here we go again
Oh, oh
So here we go again
