Lyrics

Goodbyes

[Chorus]

It's been a long time

Since I've been on your mind

I hope you're feeling alright

'Cause I won't say no goodbyes

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Yeah, you should probably bump this

Bass up speakers in the trunk shit

Bangin' in the spot, hands up on the fun tip

Jumpin', I've been on my day one shit

As a young kid, all up in the city doin' dumb shit

Uh, I been tight, never stretch 'em out

Beast in the streets man, should've never let him out

Swag, lemme show you what the fresh about

High end only, you can't cut the treble out

I stay wavy on the late tip

Techno, two-steppin' in the basement

In the bathroom, prolly gettin' faded

Until the day hits, hope you got some shades, kid

[Chorus]

It's been a long time

Since I been on your mind

I hope you're feeling alright

Cause I won't say no goodbyes

Yeah

[Verse 2: Method Man]

Adios, sayonara, dosvedanya

Hasta luego, au revoir, tú sabe' fuego

See ya' later, alligators, can get my huevos

My girl a winna, just a killa, I'm Jose Cuervo

I say tomato, you say tomato

Might be gone today, but you back tomorrow

You know the motto, the truth is harder to swallow

My story harder to follow when you ain't part of the novel, no

I'm pleadin' the fifth, y'all can sleep with the fish

Leave a rapper bleedin' for this, I'm called the flow killa

Like cheetah, I'm swift, I'ma eat if you slip

Betta yet, I'm like an ape in the mist, y'all, I go rilla

Me and The Knocks, we put a key in the locks

What's good, bruv, totin' c on the blocks

S'all ove, sip the tea in the pot

I can't stop for no reason, 'cause ain't got no reason to stop, Meth'

[Chorus]

It's been a long time

Since I've been on your mind

I hope you're feeling alright

'Cause I won't say no goodbyes

(Goodbyes, goodbyes)

[Bridge]

I don't say no goodbyes

I don't say no good-good

I don't say no goodbyes

Oh, no, no, no

I don't say no goodbyes

I don't-I don't good-good

I don't say no goodbyes

Oh, no, no, no

[Chorus]

It's been a long time

Since I've been on your mind

I hope you're feeling alright

'Cause I won't say no goodbyes
