Good Bye

Yeah, yeah, let's switch the flow up a little

Word.. bring the love back, here we go

You ever lost somebody, a member of your party

Your daddy maybe mommy, for them there was no copy

Just know that we all asleep, pray to the lord my Soul will keep

Life is a dream no need to weep, God's gonna wake us up from sleep

Every night we die, we practice for death

Everytime we sleep we say goodbye

But I, still can't get over the fact

That my best friend's awake and not

Comin back

So as the tears.. {tears roll from my eyes}

Uhh, uhh, I never got a chance to say

{Goodbye!!!} Trouble MC, Scott LaRock, Paul Sea, Doctor Rock

Mastadon, Trouble T-Roy, Aaliyah, Cowboy

Sugar Shaft, Eazy-E.. {got to say goodbye}

Yeah.. bring the love back, bring the love back

When you wake up, then you'll know, what was up

You won't live, so corrupt, only love, you'll take up

All the chasin and rushin impatience and fussin

The racin for somethin the hatin and frontin is makin you NOTHIN

So, die before you die so when you die you don't die

You got to die before you die so when you die you don't die

You got to die to all the world, all the guys and the girls

You got to die to lovin money and them diamonds and pearls

So as the tears.. (tears roll from my eyes}

I never got a chance to say to y'all

{Goodbye!!!} Prince Messiah, Bigga B, Freaky Tah, B.I.G

Big Pun, Mercury, June Bug, Buffy

2Pac, Darryl C.. {got to say goodbye}

Bring the love back, bring the love back, uhh, hip-hop

So remember when they die, they have only woke up

It's our wants and our needs that be chokin us up

{And I want and I need and I want and I need..}

Yo, there was a time when hip-hop was on our mind

It wasn't about no crime, just reality rhymes

If you battled me fine, but in the end we reclined

With a bottle of wine, MC's the ORIGINAL kind but

{Why did you stray..} hip-hop

{Why did you stray..} hip-hop

{Why did you stray..} hip-hop!

{Why did you stray....} bring the love back

{Why did you stray..} bring the love back

{Why did you stray..} {Why did you stray..}

{Why did you stray..} rise up y'all

{Why did you stray..} remember where you came from

{Why did you stray..} bring the love back

{Why did you stray..}
