[Intro: Yasiin Bey]
I'm not sure anymore, more
Who is knocking at my door, door
All the faces that I know
Ja make them so sunny and true
And I-man can see it in the sky, sky
Jam Master, him already die, die
And mi seh, mi oh mi oh my my
And you seh, now I-man feel it and I man haffi cry
When them ah go stop kill off them superstar?
2Pac, he die, know the real strife(?)
[?]
Them kill I and them dus' out Free-I
Now they want to test the Apache-I, fly
Nuff man a die, and mi seh, nuff man a cry
Nuff man a die, mi seh, nuff man and guy
Nuff man a die, and mi seh, nuff man a cry
Tear burns ya eye, watch ya baby boy die
And she don't say goodbye

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Right now I can see it so vivid
Likе it was just yesterday, like I could rеlive it
Me and my grandparents on a field trip
And I'm the little kid tryna touch the exhibits
But it'll fade before I get to get a hold of that
Man, I wish I could stop time like a photograph
Every joke that they told I'd know to laugh
Man (man), I wouldn't let a moment pass
What do it mean when you dream that you fallin'?
What do it mean when you dream that you ballin'?
What do it mean when you never dream at all then
And you don't really know 'cause you can't recall them?
It's sorta fly you get a chance to say hi to
People you never got a chance to say bye to
Maybe you could pull em up outta your dreams
Into real life (real life), if you try to
So close (so close), but so far (but so far)
And so far (and so far), no cigar (no cigar)
We can't dwell on the past, all we got is today
So I'ma live like it's no tomorrow, no goodbyes

[Chorus: Yasiin Bey]
I don't wanna say goodbye, to you
So I'll just say good night, to you
My people, no goodbyes to you
I'm just gon' say good night

[Verse 2: Al Be Back]
Uh, to you
If I part, my art will live through you
Dream beautiful and unusual
Wake up like every day new to you
Stay true to you, a hood musical
My art will live through you
Dream beautiful and unusual
Wake up like every day new to you
Stay true to you, a hood musical
