[Verse 1: Dekay]

Never thought I could or would, say goodbye

To this lifestyle of mine, caught up in the rhyme

A dreamer roamin' in the streets

Yo, it seems that the shit'll never change

But we gotta do things 'cause yo, I got a queen

Look into her eyes, frustration, told her that I was out of line

Get some kids of mine in a one story house in the tray

My own little dream, now reality at the present

Learnin' lessons by the second, grab the microphone

Like I'ma wreck it, relapse into depression

Regrets to the dues and abuse in my youth

To the non-believers, the overseers gonna guide us to a new horizon

While the eagle's be collidin', me and Ciph, we gotta do this drive

Ayo, we gotta keep the focus, we gotta do the best

At what we're known to do and say goodbye to the stress

[Chorus]

Never thought I'd do it, sung goodbye

Never thought I'd do it, sung goodbye

[Verse 2: Dekay]

We way out there, we way out there

We gotta get some money nigga

I pull the trigger everytime my vocal hit the speaker

Feelin' weak 'cause I've been sick for two months

Can't afford no medication, O.J. and toilet tissue

It's time to say goodbye to the same old thing

[?] hold your head high

Be aware the good lies in every situation you're faced with

I know 'cause with twenty somethin' years on this planet

Went from homebound to all around the world in a day

Cuss other player, Example's cuttin' through the layers

To get to the core, you see it's in the nature to be the best

No more no less, we on a mission

To say goodbye to stress and take control of how we livin'

Example is the name and to life is a description

We gotta say goodbye to this crazy life we livin'

[Chorus]

Never thought I'd do it, sung goodbye

Never thought I'd do it, sung goodbye

[Verse 3: Dekay]

I can recollect, remember in the winter

The fall of '93, show me W.S.C

Thoughts of secondary education

To fulfill the dreams of American's far up and wide

The dream ain't mine

My words and rhyme forms, immaculate like the son of Jehovah

Time to say goodbye 'cause you know we barely gettin' over

Smokin' swisher sweets in my dorm room

Lookin' at these food chocolates, athletic

Sometimes they come in threes

Put your ass, now youse a better man over women

But you didn't see it comin', that's why we had to say goodbye

Take the corner back, the soft talkin' southern Mac Daddy

Yo, we only got played one time

Bad choice of Kitty Kat

She shared the name of a whole nation

Crews and Caucasians left with no debatin'

I never had a chance to express myself

He never had a chance to express himself

We never had a chance to express ourselves

But we glad you gone 'cause it's on

[Chorus]

Never thought I'd do it, sung goodbye

Never thought I'd do it, sung goodbye
