[Intro: Guy]

I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby


[Verse 1: Nas]

Bye baby, I guess you knew why I walked away

When we walked to the altar, that was an awesome day

Did counselling, couldn't force me to stay

Something happened when you say I do, we go astray

Why did we mess it up? We was friends, we had it all

Reason you don't trust men, that was your daddy fault

He in the grave – let it go, he no longer living

Said you caught him cheating with mom, fucking other women

Fuck that gotta do with us? Here's the keys to the newest truck

Birkin bags, we burning cash, now baby, do it up

No matter who you fuck, that was before me

Wanted you as my shorty since I saw you screaming

"Hate you so much right now"

Should've saw the meaning, angry black women

Actions of a demon, I'm leaving

[Chorus: Guy and (Nas)]

I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby (Bye baby)

You know I'm saying bye-bye (Bye-bye baby)

'Cause I'm saying bye-bye (Bye baby)

'Cause I'm saying bye-bye

I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby


[Verse 2: Nas]

Bye baby, I guess you know why I had to leave

Seven months in your pregnancy, 'bout to have my seed

Let's take it back some years, rewind it to the happy years

You and your Star Trak fam, I'm thinking you cats are weird

Same time, different year, I was digging y'all flow

Then I tatted you on my arm so niggas would know

I thought no one could stop us, matching gold watches

I was your Johnny Depp, you was my Janis Joplin

Yet, the cuter version, yet, I knew you personally

Better than you knew yourself, and I knew this for certain

Crib in the Dominican, we got away from everybody

You screaming at the racist cops in Miami was probably

The highlight of my life, like "Ha, yo, look at my wife!"

Gangsta, me and 20 cops 'bout to fight, crazy night

Bailed you out, next morning we got clean

Like it never happened, then later we at that Heat game

Just another day in the life, of two people in love

But it wasn't enough, so baby guess what...

[Chorus: Guy and (Nas)]

I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby (Bye baby)

OH! OH! AHHHHHHHH! Bye-bye (Bye-bye baby)

I can't believe that this is happening to us

'Cause I'm saying bye-bye (Bye baby) Forever

'Cause I'm saying bye-bye

I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby


[Verse 3: Nas]

Listen, could you imagine writing your deposition?

Divorce lawyer telling you how this thing gonna be ending?

With you paying out the ass and I'm talking half

Not some, but half, no, serious, half

Half of your soul, half of your heart, you leaving behind

It’s either that or die, I wanted peace of mind

And all I seen was suckers, cowards

Under their breath, saying, "Why did Nas trust her?"

But look at yourself! Speak louder, bruh!

You live with your baby moms

And scared to make an honest woman out of her

And make her your bride, fake pimps, you ain't even a lie

At least I can say I tried, plus enjoyed the ride

Plus we got our little boy, my little joy and pride

He got my nose, my grill, your color, your eyes

Next go round I hope I pick the truest type

And watch me do it all again, it’s a beautiful life, aight?

Goodbye!

[Chorus: Guy and (Nas)]

(Bye baby) Baby.. baby

You know I'm saying bye-bye (Bye-bye baby)

I can't believe that this is happening to us

'Cause I'm saying bye-bye (Bye baby)

I guess you knew and blew a good thing

You know I'm saying bye-bye

I guess you knew and blew a good thing, baby


[Outro: Guy]

Gimme the key back, baby

I want your love back, baby, oh

Gimme the key back, baby, oh

'Til we make love just one more time

Make it seem forever

This is our last and final goodbye

Goodbye
