The Fallen And Forgotten
The Fallen and Forgotten/
Used to be infamous/
Soldiers of the streets/
No matter how you going out with a bang/
You will be forgotten/
Your name to be added/
To the list of the fallen/
There's no going back/
Everyone gave you respect/
On the streets/
If not, a dose of reality will check you/
It's fine to be wanted/
And a big shot/
But, I will tell you/
You are just setting yourself up/
For a big empty space in prison/
Surrounded by concrete and razor wire/
The infamous will be fallen and forgotten/
Which will leave you lonely/
Locked away in a lonely state/
Wishing just for once/
Someone would remember you/
All the things you have done/
To make a name for yourself/
Hanging with so called friends/
That are not true friends/
In the end, none of that matters/
Because, you are just another/
One of the Fallen and Forgotten/
