|
I remember it like it just happened |
|
I could've sworn it was a dream |
|
But in reality it hit me like a nightmare |
|
Or at least that's how it seemed |
|
I just got a grip on our relationship |
|
We was ironing things out, started picking up steam |
|
And when we didn't need it is when it all got heated |
|
And we both said some things that we probably didn't mean |
|
Then God intervened, guess more was at stake |
|
Thought we left nothing over, |
|
He put more on the plate |
|
She came home from the doctor with news |
|
I've been wanting |
|
Says family was incoming, she's pregnant, twins coming |
|
But that's gotta be a lie |
|
She sighed, couldn't stop the tears coming from her eyes |
|
That birth control she on, for them it's suicide |
|
As long as it's still inside, two of them wouldn't survive |
|
Hard turn from memorable to cynical |
|
Picturing clothes for what would've been identical |
|
Similar outfits, similar names |
|
My deceased kids' ultrasound in a frame |
|
So I'm deprived of my chance to be a better dad |
|
Staring at my twins that |
|
I never had |
|
I shed a tear, looking up in the sky |
|
Even though y'all just got here, goodbye |
|
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
|
But it's not the end of the chapter |
|
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
|
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
|
My biological sperm donor, didn't wanna be a daddy |
|
So he hopped in his |
|
Caddy and turned corners on us |
|
Turned on us out the clear blue |
|
His last memory of his son is seeing me through his rearview |
|
I still love him yo, but |
|
I love his brother more |
|
My uncle showed me love no one could know |
|
Young and poor with a tougher road |
|
To suffer hunger was nothing but |
|
Unc' would hold |
|
Us down, help moms lift the motherload |
|
I got grown and |
|
I used to wonder what it would be like to speak to pops as a grown man |
|
He provided that feeling, told me to take my career into my own hands |
|
He was there when |
|
I had no fans |
|
My cellphone rings, and after |
|
I answerA voice says "Your uncle's been diagnosed with cancer" |
|
Worst news in my life |
|
Him and chemo going 12 rounds with a disease and they both losing the fight |
|
I'm rushing up to |
|
Cedars-Sinai |
|
Praying for a miracle, |
|
I don't wanna see my idol die |
|
Before he did, the look in his eyes |
|
Said "Even though you just got here, goodbye" |
|
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
|
But it's not the end of the chapter |
|
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
|
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
|
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
|
Someday in heaven we will reunite |
|
The flesh disappears but the soul survives |
|
Till next time, my friend, farewell, goodbye |
|
I walked in your daughter's house, knowing that you gone |
|
But still looking out the corner of my eye, hoping you on the couch |
|
That call felt like |
|
I was beef that had got shot up |
|
Ironic, I was on tour with |
|
Tech N9ne and |
|
Slaughterhouse |
|
D tried to talk to me, |
|
Crystal rubbed my back, as they was pouring out |
|
I caught the next thing soaring out |
|
Now I'm in the air, in the midwest somewhere |
|
They said turbulence was severe, |
|
I don't know what they talking bout |
|
I ain't feel a bump, body numb, mind drifting |
|
I'm sniffling, asthma acting up, |
|
I'm whistling |
|
I'm wishing my mother's face looked so much different |
|
I'm kissing my son, my aunt pacing in the kitchen |
|
My vision blurry, still |
|
I saw your face clear |
|
What a loss, this time |
|
I did more than waste beer |
|
Michelle's strong, she held on, we got all the way there |
|
Then we walked in, she fell on the floor, this ain't fair |
|
You was the voice when |
|
I considered them thoughts that ain't clear |
|
Hey granny, |
|
I was fifth row at the |
|
Grammy'sAn award they ain't hand me, but |
|
I sat behind |
|
WillAnd right in front of |
|
Wayne, and got seen by the family |
|
I miss the early morning convos, believe me |
|
Regis on the |
|
TV, and the best baked ziti |
|
But you had an all white affair, grandpa's all fly |
|
Even though you been got there, goodbye |
|
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
|
But it's not the end of the chapter |
|
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
|
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
