Slaughterhouse - Goodbye lyrics
[Slaughterhouse - Goodbye lyrics]
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 outfit's, 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 answer
A 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're 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're 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's
An award they ain't hand me
But I sat behind Will
And 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
