Never Goodbye - Blaq Poet

Yo, I’ll never forget this black day

Premo calling me on a 3-way with Marley

Telling me my thun ain’t here no more

Telling me to be strong, I just got the call

I hung up, I had to hit the thun line

Dez picked it up, in his voice, he was crying

He confirmed it, I sat back stunned

Thinking about my aunt, who was her only son

Thinking about my moms, that was her favorite nephew

Thinking about his sons and all the shit that they didn’t get to do

Thinking 'bout how we supposed to ride out

And turn this whole rap shit inside out

He was my baby brother, he was my little cousin

He was my best friend, as little niggas, we was bugging

Running around Big Ma’s house

169th and Liberty,

I’ve been down since the day you died

We been through it all, I never can say goodbye

«Never goodbye»

I remember as kids, you used to come to the Bridge

I used to go to Far Rock, two lil' hard rocks

, that was your block

Even though you had asthma, that wouldn’t make you stop

Nigga played football, baseball, basketball

Loved to ride your bike and playfight in the hall

Dave in the building, Richie in the building

Rest in peace Willie, I know you two chilling

Along with my pops, Uncle Charles and Uncle Fuzzy

Big Ma, say what’s up to your pops, Uncle Lonnie

Im’ma miss the way you used to laugh

I’m crying out as I write this paragraph

Tears drop on the paper, the pen smears through it

Reminiscing about the day we used to do it

A real nigga that did real things

You always held your people down by any means

It’s so crazy, I won’t even lie

KL, by my right eye, it’s never goodbye
