Sampha - Not Forgetful lyrics

[Verse 1] Have we met before? I guess not because I am not forgetful You would know me even if we never really met My aura in the room is one you can't even forget I hear them say I'm different But I'm just trying to hear Myze You should know can't nobody compete Don't care about positioning yo You can have the window seat As long as I'm the captaim (ooh) You better buckle up It's a puzzle how I juggle all these women and attention And I barely even mention how I struggled in the rubble To get money in the duffle and still shuffled all my hustles And yet you worried 'bout Metro When it's Myze who do not trust you Can't you see me Yeah you see me You imitating my reflection The difference between you and Myze is You can't gain this affection Ain't no love and affection ever pushed in your direction Mama said boy don't forget that your complexion is a blessing Now I'm noticing the lighter ones are tanning And they stressing, cause [Hook] If you've ever met me Congratulations cause you've met me You'll never forget me You'll never forget me I'm not forgetful I'm not forgetful You'll never forget me I'm not forgetful I'm not forgetful [Verse 2] Did you notice me? That's a trick question I know you notice me Elephant in the room I will always be So Come & Talk to Me on some Jodeci You think the attention going to ruin me It's hard to stay the same when your closest one's change Who now remain without a name Whose to blame Maybe I seemed lame with no money to my name Use to ask me to go out and now it's hard to go back home Well at least that's how it was back when I was crossing state to state to state Almost every single day But boy it paid to get here to this day Practiced at my pa**ions on some 2-a-days I would choose the same path every day (day) Currently, slowly building up my currency Every key I touch opens a new door It's easy to complain when you go against the grain But at least you making bread in a new store [Hook] If you've ever met me Congratulations cause you've met me You'll never forget me You'll never forget me I'm not forgetful I'm not forgetful You'll never forget me I'm not forgetful I'm not forgetful [Outro] Touched down in a new town Got to learn faces quickly So no one forgets me I'm glad I'm not impatient I'm overtime embracing Putting in work for everything that I'm worth If God gave me brain I should get it too That's the only distraction I will give into
