Talib Kweli - Never Can Say Goodbye lyrics

[Rhymefest] El Che is comin! Uh Plug City! Yeah The Best Kept Secret Talib Kweli! Elido, elido 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 sh** until some dumber sh** Until the cops *siren* and they was runnin quick Son of b**h, supposed to be gangster, holdin a hundred clips With a ton of bricks up in jail straight runnin sh** 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 a** home where your kids should be But some of us... [Singer] Never can say goodbye, no, no, n-no, no Never can say goodbye... [Talib Kweli] n***as 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 n***as is more punk to say it vicious B All them n***as from Harlem New York, the kids be missin me The world is my home, but sh** 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 Lets just say I can't say goodbye [Singer] Never can say goodbye, no, no, n-no, no Never can say goodbye...
