Joell Ortiz - Goodbye (Remix) lyrics

[Verse 1: Fat Joe] 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 coke rock 50 others 49 course 7 5 That's why I say the n***a Chris saved my life I'm a violator so don't violate Work the chi ali, walk for God's sake What this man had 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 n***a owe you I know you couldn't stop the fifty sh** 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 Pun 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 [Verse 2: Joell Ortiz] I got the news while doing the interview And had to stop talking It's not often somebody gives you a shot wanting Nothing in return but to 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 gla**es, he said congrats Joe you kicked a**es I can't believe I'm really writing this verse Man we was just laughing at the sea port with the click maggin Sorry Addison, I'm sorry Coltrane, sorry Hot 97 I'm feeling your pain Sorry I had to slide though 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, Yaowa to Chris Nadler And I know you summer jammin' in the sky But from everybody down here, goodbye (Hook) [Verse 3: Joe Budden] 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 outfits, 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 (hook) [Verse 4: Crooked I] My biological s**m 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 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" [Outro] 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 Someday in heaven we will reunite The flesh disappears but the soul survives Till next time my friend, farewell goodbye
