Goodbye to You (feat. Dot Rotten)

Hey, can you hear me
I just wanted to let you know hmm

I hope you can hear what I write to you
How could I say goodbye to you
When I'm a life that came out
of the inside of a life
that was inside of you
I gotta respect the way you provided food
for the whole fam
You came over a moon rush
supporting a mar jays old man
Cold double 8, 8 kids, bare wheels, plus racists
full of hatred in your own plant
3 jobs in a day, rest in life that you working
but you were never stressed free
Just locked in a cage slaving
They said they were gold in the pavements
but you came and saw the road to amazement
Broke your heart
but still you were prone to last
and your sorrow was over fast
I hope your listening right
I still think of you every Sunday
No one can top your chicken and rice
Even through the darkest times
you held us all up
Cause your vision was bright
I knew your strength was your wisdom inside
You never let anyone see your heartache
You just got on with it
Anyone tells me that they knew you
Said you were beautiful
And your words you would stand strong with it
Cause they were like warmth
on a winter night
but I was just too young to go on with it
And there something's I could try to do
but it's an impossible task for me
to even try and say goodbye to you
I couldn't do that
I owe my life to you
And of the pieces of my soul
because I need a sign
I hope this pain will heal in time
you know I never want to be alone ohh
I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air
And will you think of me up there
Can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
or feel the chill of your warm embrace
Can I say goodbye to you ohh
I think you if only I was younger
With the knowledge of things that I know now
I would be by your side when you needed me
Instead of asking you "Nan can I go out"
Standing in a road with the gangs that I know now
Everyone's missing you loads
Jessica's grown up
Warren, Lauren, and Alex are fine
and I'm living with hope
It's been a while since I've seen C and the mouths
I miss seeing and being a family
and us agreeing with smiles
how it used to be as a child
But as time goes by the bridge seems longer
family problems have never been funny
in my heart the only one that dissed me was Sonia
She took all our inheritance money
Left the rest of us to pick up the pieces
I never forgive the way she betrayed us
there ain't a big enough reason
Before I sell out my fam I'll be giving up breathing
But I guess that everyone's different
or should I say no one's perfect
She had happiness in front of her
but chose to ride the wave that no one's surfing
Since you gone the foundations crumbled
So building it back up is my next step
I got all the bricks and the cement but it's hard
when it's done I don't know what to expect
so give me the strength that I need
to perform this task make it right I must do
and I ask cause I trust you
It goes way beyond a song when I say I love you
And of the pieces of my soul because I need a sign
hope this pain will heal in time
you know I never wanna
be aloneeeeee
I can see the stars as a cold the wind greets the air
and will you think of me up there
Can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
or feel the chill of your warm embrace
Can I say goodbye to you ohh
It's just for now so I should hush
I'll never get enough I'll see you when I see you but
I miss you ohh how I miss you
It's just for now so I should hush
I'll never get enough I'll see you when I see you but
I miss you ohh how I miss you
There ain't enough words to describe how sorry I am
for the pain that I caused
Sorry for when I stuck up for own blood
we were young he said I was raped by this broad
And for the day police came to the door
I'm sorry for being such a bad youth
stealing from your purse and making you mourn
I never been able to say this before
'cause I was so inconsiderate
You love me unconditionally
and I took advantage of it like a idiot
not seeing the pure soul that I was living with
I really hope that you can forgive me
You going away was a punishment
but I won't let go I'm holding you with me
but I still fight the emotions within me
You see the stars as the cold wind greets the air
and will you think of me up there
Can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the teardrops down your face
feel the chill of your warm embrace
Can I say goodbye to you
I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air
and will you think of me up there
Can I say goodbye to you
And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
or feel the chill of your warm embrace
Can I say goodbye to you ohh
