|
| [00:22.32] |
I remember it like it just happened |
| [00:25.63] |
I could've sworn it was a dream |
| [00:27.84] |
But in reality it hit me like a nightmare |
| [00:31.24] |
Or at least that's how it seemed |
| [00:33.18] |
I just got a grip on our relationship |
| [00:35.43] |
We was ironing things out, started picking up steam |
| [00:38.46] |
And when we didn't need it is when it all got heated |
| [00:41.00] |
And we both said some things that we probably didn't mean |
| [00:44.26] |
Then God intervened, guess more was at stake |
| [00:46.64] |
Thought we left nothing over, He put more on the plate |
| [00:49.35] |
She came home from the doctor with news I've been wanting |
| [00:52.13] |
Says family was incoming, she's pregnant, twins coming |
| [00:56.04] |
But that's gotta be a lie |
| [00:57.82] |
She sighed, couldn't stop the tears coming from her eyes |
| [01:00.52] |
That birth control she on, for them it's suicide |
| [01:03.07] |
As long as it's still inside, two of them wouldn't survive |
| [01:06.85] |
Hard turn from memorable to cynical |
| [01:09.32] |
Picturing clothes for what would've been identical |
| [01:12.02] |
Similar outfits, similar names |
| [01:14.28] |
My deceased kids' ultrasound in a frame |
| [01:17.20] |
So I'm deprived of my chance to be a better dad |
| [01:20.60] |
Staring at my twins that I never had |
| [01:23.16] |
I shed a tear, looking up in the sky |
| [01:25.11] |
Even though y'all just got here, goodbye |
| [01:28.86] |
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
| [01:34.85] |
But it's not the end of the chapter |
| [01:39.79] |
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
| [01:46.06] |
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
| [01:49.76][Verse 2: Crooked I] |
|
| [01:50.33] |
My biological sperm donor, didn't wanna be a daddy |
| [01:53.29] |
So he hopped in his Caddy and turned corners on us |
| [01:56.17] |
Turned on us out the clear blue |
| [01:58.22] |
His last memory of his son is seeing me through his rearview |
| [02:01.48] |
I still love him yo, but I love his brother more |
| [02:04.27] |
My uncle showed me love no one could know |
| [02:06.59] |
Young and poor with a tougher road |
| [02:08.08] |
To suffer hunger was nothing but Unc' would hold |
| [02:10.22] |
Us down, help mo***ift the motherload |
| [02:12.99] |
I got grown and |
| [02:14.18] |
I used to wonder what it would be like to speak to pops as a grown man |
| [02:17.29] |
He provided that feeling, told me to take my career into my own hands |
| [02:20.97] |
He was there when I had no fans |
| [02:23.30] |
My cellphone rings, and after I answer |
| [02:26.26] |
A voice says "Your uncle's been diagnosed with cancer" |
| [02:29.27] |
Worst news in my life |
| [02:30.74] |
Him and chemo going 12 rounds with a disease and they both losing the fight |
| [02:35.17] |
|
| [02:37.19] |
Praying for a miracle， I don't wanna see my idol die |
| [02:40.26] |
Before he did, the look in his eyes |
| [02:42.48] |
Said "Even though you just got here, goodbye" |
| [02:46.02] |
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
| [02:52.17] |
But it's not the end of the chapter |
| [02:57.06] |
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
| [03:03.21] |
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
| [03:08.54] |
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
| [03:13.87] |
Someday in heaven we will reunite |
| [03:19.53] |
The flesh disappears but the soul survives |
| [03:25.04] |
Till next time, my friend, farewell, goodbye |
| [03:29.29][Verse 3: Joell Ortiz] |
|
| [03:29.65] |
I walked in your daughter's house, knowing that you gone |
| [03:32.22] |
But still looking out the corner of my eye, hoping you on the couch |
| [03:35.34] |
That call felt like I was beef that had got shot up |
| [03:38.12] |
|
| [03:40.85] |
|
| [03:44.27] |
I caught the next thing soaring out |
| [03:46.36] |
Now I'm in the air, in the midwest somewhere |
| [03:48.94] |
They said turbulence was severe, I don't know what they talking bout |
| [03:51.88] |
I ain't feel a bump, body numb, mind drifting |
| [03:54.56] |
I'm sniffling, asthma acting up, I'm whistling |
| [03:57.30] |
I'm wishing my mother's face looked so much different |
| [03:59.91] |
I'm kissing my son, my aunt pacing in the kitchen |
| [04:02.71] |
My vision blurry, still I saw your face clear |
| [04:05.31] |
What a loss, this time I did more than waste beer |
| [04:08.05] |
Michelle's strong, she held on, we got all the way there |
| [04:10.81] |
Then we walked in, she fell on the floor, this ain't fair |
| [04:13.70] |
You was the voice when I considered them thoughts that ain't clear |
| [04:16.38] |
Hey granny, I was fifth row at the Grammy's |
| [04:19.25] |
|
| [04:21.93] |
|
| [04:25.04] |
I miss the early morning convos, believe me |
| [04:27.79] |
|
| [04:30.32] |
But you had an all white affair, grandpa's all fly |
| [04:32.86] |
Even though you been got there, goodbye |
| [04:36.33] |
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
| [04:42.46] |
But it's not the end of the chapter |
| [04:47.26] |
Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewell |
| [04:53.37] |
I'll see you again in the afterlife |
| [05:01.73] |
