Goodbye lyrics

[Intro: DMX]

Let us pray for those that we've lost

We know that we miss them for selfish reasons

Oh Lord my God, indeed you I put my trust

Save me, from all them that persocute me

And deliver me, in Jesus name, GRRRRR

[Chorus: DMX - singing]

Cause we all go anyway, I'ma say goodbye today

Cause it could be any day, I'ma say goodbye today

We've grown in so many ways, but I'ma say goodbye today

Cause it could be any day, I'ma say goodbye today-ayayyyy

[Verse One]

I'ma say goodbye today, cause I don't know when

we gon' cross paths again, until then

I'ma be that, and see that, speaks the truth

Believe that, I'ma see that, to reach the youth

My sufferin will not be in vain (NOT)

Neither will yo' pain ever since you passed to hear yo' name

Rest in peace to Autumn - we all know

cancer cells kill, but if they caught 'em, they could afford 'em

If you'd still be here, right here with us

We'd have plenty time before death came to get us

BUT, what is death like? Should I really care?

After lookin at it, was life really fair?

Did you burn any bridges? Did you make amends?

Did you ask God for forgiveness for your sins?

What is Heaven like? If you could come back, should you?

If you could communicate for a moment there, would you?

... Just questions that we ask ourselves, every day (wanna know)

[Chorus]

[Verse Two]

So young, so gifted

Direction of life was uplifted, when the wind shifted

And took a turn for the worse, with the blessing come the curse

A nigga stressin took the dog into the hearse

My nigga Divine was way too young to die

Fell out the nest and was way too young to fly

But that didn't stop fate from happenin

Idle time make the Devil HATE WHAT'S HAPPENING!

God no! Why did it go that way?

Comin from his fans away, why did he go that day?

Lightly, I dare say, life goes on

Donuts, Trey and Jerz I say, please be strong

He was supposed to be on the road with me

I wish somebody WOULDA came to get me and niggaz woulda had to hit ME

But until then, MY FRIEND

I'ma say goodbye today, cause you never know when

[Chorus w/ minor variation]

[Outro: DMX]

Goodbye today, I'ma say goodbye today

Goin away hey (uhh) goodbye today, I'ma say goodbye today

(It's okay) And I say (let us pray)

Goodbye today (and I say) say goodbye today

Go on your way (and I say when you're, gone) I'ma say goodbye today

I'ma say goodbye today (gotta say before you move on) HEY!

Yes (yeah!)

I mean, this is life (yeah, say goodbye)

We are born, to die, so LET ME FLY! (know what I mean)

Let me fly, we are born, to die (be good)

{"Sometimes the pain is too much to bear" - [repeat to end of Outro]}

Cause I'm in a better place ('til we meet again)

I'm in a better place (I don't know what form)

See you soon baby! (we'll meet again)

Ha ha! .. (But we will meet again)

...

Spread your wings (they gon' shed a tear on this one!)

Fly, I'll try not to cry, it'll be hard

I just, miss, not havin you here

Even though I know you're in a better place!

I just miss not havin you here

Kinda selfish when you think about it

That's nature, that's life

Spirit, never dies, as lessons begin
