Rhymefest, Talib Kweli - Never Can Say Goodbye lyrics

El Che is comin! Uh plug City! yeah
The Best Kept Secret talib Kweli!
Allido, Allido! Uh, yeah, yo, uh, come on

They say that there's some things
You should never say (never say)
Cause you don't wanna offend
And push people away
So we all just pretend like we with it
If you smokin, let me hit it, I admit it
I done did it
I done followed some dudes on some
Dumb shit until some dumber shit
Until the cops siren and
They was runnin quick
Son of bitch, supposed to be gangster
Holdin a hundred clips
With a ton of bricks up
In jail straight runnin shit
But, if the people knew the facts about
It they would laugh about it
Police searched your car and only got
Two bags up out it but how you yap about it
Glorify and brag about it
I done thought you'd be so rich you
Wouldn't have to rap about it
Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery
So all we got is the present
And that's a gift to me
Literally, I was on the block
Had an epiphany stop servin
Take your ass home where your kids should be
But some of us

Never can say goodbye, no, no, n no, no
Never can say goodbye

Niggas acting mannish
Outlandish and so again
Before the get-go at the disco they panic
I take advantage
Of the opportunities that I'm
Handed before they vanish
Yeah your man is so hungry I'm famished
Excuse my manners as I cruise the blue of
Atlantic waters within the borders
Of a foreign country standin on corners
Before the money for performance
Fed my son and my daughter
Before the gas and running water
No I couldn't afford a
Automobile no, a train or bus ticket
Wasn't a one to fly
Look my kids straight in the eye
Never can say goodbye
Later played a fly on the wall
Side of the halls in the industry
Decided to tour, quite consistently
Tear into the mic every night
Like a Grizzly Bear
Rippin into a fish, I spit it viciously
These rap niggas is more
Punk than Sid Vicious, b
All them niggas from Harlem New York
The kids be missin me the world is my home
But shit I still love New York too
The beat is my therapist
I need someone to talk to
Every city I walk through
They can speak Chinese, english or Spanish
I pull out the cash, they understand it
Any country on this planet
I guarantee got fans of Kweli
I do damage then they hand me her feet
Proceed to flip it, won't get into specifics
The how's, what's, when's and why's
Let's just say I can't say goodbye

Never can say goodbye, no, no, n no, no
Never can say goodbye
