Slaughterhouse - Goodbye Lyrics
[Joe Budden]I remember it like it just happenedI could of sworn it was a dreamBut in reality it hit me like a nightmareOr at least that’s how it seemedI just got a grip on our relationshipWe was ironing things out, started picking up steamAnd when we didn’t need it, when it all got heatedAnd we both said some things that we probably didn’t meanGod intervened, guess war was at stakeThought we left nothing over, he put more on the plateShe came home from the doctor with news I been wantin’Said family was incoming, she pregnant, twins comingBut that’s gotta be a lieShe sighed, couldn’t stop the tears coming from her eyesThat birth control she on, for them it’s suicideBut as long as it’s still inside, 2 of them, one survivedHard turn from memorable to cynicalPicturing clothes for what would’ve been identicalSimilar outfits, similar namesMy deceased kid’s ultrasound in a frameSo I’m deprived of my chance to be a better dadStaring at my twins that I never hadI shed a tear, looking up in the skyEven though y’all just got here, goodbye[Hook]Goodbye, goodbye, so long, farewellBut it’s not the end of the chapterGoodbye, goodbye, so long, farewellI’ll see you again in the afterlife[Crooked I]My biological sperm donor, didn’t wanna be a daddySo he hopped in his Caddy and turned corners on usTurned on us out the clear blueHis last memory of his son is seeing me out his rearviewI still love him yo, but I love his brother mo’My uncle showed me love no one could knowYoung and po’ with a tougher roadTo suffer hunger was nothing but Unc’ would holdus down would help mom lift the motherloadI got chronin, I used to wonder what it would be likeTo speak to pops as a grown manHe provided that feeling, told me to take my career into my own handsHe was there when I had no fansMy 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 diseaseAnd they both losing the fightI’m rushing up to see the cyanidePraying for a miracle, I don’t wanna see my idol dieBefore he did, the look in his eyesSaid “Even though you just got here, goodbye”[Hook][Bridge]I’ll see you again in the afterlifeSomeday in heaven we will reuniteThe flesh disappears but the soul survivesTill next time, my friend, farewell, goodbye[Joell Ortiz]I walked in your daughter’s house, knowing that you goneBut still looking out the corner of my eye, hoping you on the couchThat call felt like I was beef, that got shot upIronic, I was on tour with Tech N9ne and SlaughterhouseE tried to talk to me, crystal rubbed my back, as they were pourin’ outI caught the next thing soarin’ outNow I’m in the air, in the midwest somewhereThey said turbulence was severe, I don’t know what they talkin’ boutI ain’t feel a bump, body numb, mind driftingI’m sniffling, asthma acting up, I’m whistlingMy mothers face looked so much differentI’m kissing, my son, my aunt pacing in the kitchenMy vision blurry, still I saw your face clearWhat a loss, this time I did more than waste beerMichelle’s strong, she held on, we got all the way thereThen we walked in, she fell on the floor, this ain’t fairYou was the voice when I considered them thoughts that ain’t clearHey 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 familyI miss the early morning convos, believe meRegis on the TV, and the best baked zitiBut you had an old white affair, grandpa’s all flyEven though you been got there, goodbye[Hook]
