[Refrain: Mos Def]

I'm not sure anymore, 'ymore

Who is knocking at my door, door

All the faces that I know

Jah make them so sunny and true

[Chorus: Mos Def, Kanye West]

I don't wanna say goodbye to you

So I'll just say good night to you

My people, no goodbyes to you (Uh)

I'm just gon' say good night


[Verse: Kanye West]

Right now, I can see it so vivid

Like it was just yesterday, like I could relive it

Me and my grandparents on a field trid-ip

And I'm the lil' kid tryna touch the exhibits

But it'll fade 'fore 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 (Goodbyes...)


[Chorus: Mos Def]

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


[Bridge: 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


[Chorus: Mos Def]

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


[Refrain: Mos Def]

I'm not sure anymore, 'ymore

Who is knocking at my door, door

All the faces that I know

Jah make them so sunny and true

I'm not sure anymore, 'ymore

Who is knocking at my door, door

All the faces that I know

Jah make them so sunny and true

I'm not sure anymore, 'ymore

Who is knocking at my door, door

All the faces that I know

Jah make them so sunny and true

I'm not sure anymore, 'ymore

Who is knocking at my door, door

All the faces that I know

Jah make them so sunny and true
