Never Can Say Goodbye

[Rhymefest]

El Che is comin! Uh

Plug City! Yeah

The Best Kept Secret

Talib Kweli!

Allido, Allido!

Uh, yeah, yo, uh, come on

[Verse One]

They say that there's some things you should never say (never say)

Cause you don't wanna offend and push people away

So we all just pretend like we with it

If you smokin, let me hit it, I admit it, I done did it

I done followed some dudes on some dumb shit until some dumber shit

Until the cops *siren* and they was runnin quick

Son of bitch, supposed to be gangster, holdin a hundred clips

With a ton of bricks up in jail straight runnin shit

But if the people knew the facts about it they would laugh about it

Police searched your car and only got two bags up out it

But how you yap about it, glorify and brag about it

I done thought you'd be so rich you wouldn't have to rap about it

Yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery

So all we got is the present and that's a gift to me

Literally, I was on the block, had an epiphany

Stop servin, take your ass home where your kids should be

But some of us...

[Hook: Sample]

Never can say goodbye, no, no, n-no, no

Never can say goodbye...

[Verse Two: Talib Kweli]

Niggas acting mannish, outlandish and so again

Before the get-go at the disco they panic, I take advantage

Of the opportunities that I'm handed before they vanish

Yeah your man is so hungry I'm famished, excuse my manners

As I cruise the blue of Atlantic waters within the borders

Of a foreign country standin on corners

Before the money for performance, fed my son and my daughter

Before the gas and running water, no I couldn't afford a

Automobile no, a train or bus ticket, wasn't a one to fly

Look my kids straight in the eye, never can say goodbye

Later played a fly on the wall, side of the halls in the industry

Decided to tour, quite consistently

Tear into the mic every night like a Grizzly Bear

Rippin into a fish, I spit it viciously

These rap niggas is more punk than Sid Vicious, b

All them niggas from Harlem New York, the kids be missin me

The world is my home, but shit I still love New York too

The beat is my therapist, I need someone to talk to

Every city I walk through, they can speak Chinese, English or Spanish

I pull out the cash, they understand it

Any country on this planet, I guarantee got fans of Kweli

I do damage then they hand me her feet

Proceed to flip it, won't get into specifics

The how's, what's, when's and why's

Lets just say I can't say goodbye

[Hook]

Never can say goodbye, no, no, n-no, no

Never can say goodbye...
