No Goodbyes

If I could, I would tell you in the flesh

But I would never find the right words when it happens

When it comes to moving on: I can't

It's hard for me to "package..." I better "wrap."

Where there ain't no smog that'll saturate lungs

Is the view from the top that'll captivate tongues

I'm speaking in one. But the babbling type

It's the "glory, Hallelujah" at the end of the climb:

That's "Pinnacle." All of the cynical forgotten

Whenever I examine the glory of God's blossom

Beauty. Change. Things a Los Angeles

Suburbian rapper could never fathom with his calculus

Found my soul fading in the comfort

I'm gazing as a wonder like, "what happened to the color?"

I had to leave it, it lead my belief to lead me

To these lavender sweet peas, blue skies and green leaves

It's "The Natural State." I take it God wants me in my natural state

So I thank you. For every good time

It's time for me to go, but it isn't "goodbye," hold up

It only feels like yesterday

Got a lot on my mind that I want to say

But "goodbye" isn't one of those thoughts, okay?

No man's a plateau, peninsula

Nomad, indigenous, we gotta keep it intimate

Like mission into Nineveh- it's difficult, I know

To walk into a place feeling similar to home

But I found that

People to love, learn from

People to hope, trust, return to

People to fight for, I'm down for you

I really wish that I could stick around for you

I just wish that my actions would accurately

Capture the love that I have for you, madly

I ask your forgiveness, the fact that I'm distant

Been it all my life and my God still fixing

Isn't many reason for the rogue to come to town

For the flower in the autumn lifting arms into the clouds

But you know it the moment that you're around it

I never knew what I was missing 'til I found it

Goodbyes are cold when the hope is forgotten

Hold to the option to flow my synopsis

Mask and distract all the palpable agony

Tossing in bed like the mattress is stabbing me

With a fork in the road. We all know where we gotta go

Our paths might intersect, overlap

Let's be happy 'bout the times when that happens

Let's be glad that we met: it's divinity

Don't forget: we're together in infinity

Though we may separate, disconnect

Remember that our paths come together in the end

It ain't a "goodbye," it's more like "see you there"

Until then, I'll keep you lifted in my prayers

So love God, let's love one another

This is dedicated to my sisters and my brothers, come on
