Goodbye (Remix) Lyrics

You know he saved my life, you know

I got pictures on 42nd street with 20 people in it
Everybody dead but me
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here

I signed my first deal at my dope spot
That's why the streets named me after cold bra
50 others 49 court 7 5
That's why I say the nigga Chris saved my life
I'm a violator so don't violate
Worked with Chi Ali, why for god sake
would this man have to take his life
Now his kids gotta pay the price
I always loved you if I never told you
And can't describe in words how much a nigga owe you
I know you couldn't stop the fifty shit
But I ain't never look at you no different Chris
You was my mentor, you started me
That's why you'll forever be a part of me
I pray to God to forgive him
And when you get to heaven tell ... we miss him

Hook:
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 after life

I got the news while doing an interview
and had to stop talking,
It's not often somebody gives you a shot wanting
nothing in return but I see you pop often
Who's next to the stage, I remember I hopped off and
The first person I saw had red hair
and thick glasses, he sick and grass, Joe you kicked asses
I can't believe I'm really writing this verse
Man we was just laughing at the sea port with the click maggin
Sorry ..., I'm sorry cold dream, sorry hot 97 I'm feeling your pain
... I had to slide through
That slide show made them slide down my face, yeah I cried too
Thanks for believing I could be a sick rapper
This is the farewell, yeah holla to Chris Maddler
and I know you summer jamming in the sky
But from everybody down here
Goodbye

Hook:
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 after life

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 ... started picking up steam
And when we didn't need it, that's when it all got hot heated
And we both said some things that we probably didn't mean
God intervened, guess war was his thing
Though we left nothing over he put more on the blink
She came home from the doctor with news I've been wanting
Said family was incoming, she pregnant, twins coming
But that's gotta be a lie,
She sighed, I couldn't stop the tears coming from her eyes
That birth control she on for them the suicide
As long as it's still inside two of them wouldn't survive
Hard time from memorable to cynical
Picturing clothes for what would've been identical
Similar outfits, similar names
my deceased kids, ultra sound in the 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 ya'll just got here
Goodbye!

Hook:
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 after life

My biological sperm downer think he don't wanna be a daddy
So he hopped in his caddy and turned corners on us
Turned on the south of clear blue
His last memory of his son is seeing me through his rear view
I still love em yo, but I love his brother more
My uncle showed me love no one can know
Young and poe with the though of roll to suffer hunger was nothing
But unc would hold us down help mom's lift them other loads
I got grown and I used to wonder what it would be to 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 answer
A voice says your uncle's been diagnosed with cancer
Worst news in my life, him and chemo going twelve rounds with the disease and they're both losing the fight
I'm rushing up to see the sign out
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

Hook:
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 after life

I'll see you again in the after life
Some day in heaven we will reunite
The flash disappears but the soul survives
Till next time my friend, farewell goodbye
