Goodbye
KD-Beatz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It gets real
You ain't got no time to chill
When momma stressing you 'bout bills
You can't provide I know the feel
But keep your head up, get the Sky acquainted with yo chin
I know it's hard to chase yo dreams when ain't no money coming in
But shit the best advice I ever got was trust yo instincts
In my home the way I grew up wasn't no being stingy
Share witcha' kin
To hell witcha' friends, cuz they ain't riding
Was far from rich but highly blessed how I tend to describe it
Momma ain't have it I know but somehow always got what we want
And when them colder times approached we was protected by warmth
Nah it wasn't the freshest gear but rarely was I stressing
Cuz I'd need another set of hands to count all these blessings
Plus I recognized she tried her hardest
Guess you don't see the bigger picture until you become the artist
And realize it ain't 'bout flossing
Peep really it's much deeper and see don't much come from talking
Was taught to go out and get it but shit I do that regardless they told me

Hold your head, do what you gotta do to stand out
You the man now, boy ain't nobody giving handouts hey
Hold your head and hold it high
That money the sweetest hello, but also the hardest goodbye
The hardest goodbye
Hold your head, do what you gotta do to stand out
You the man now, boy ain't nobody giving handouts hey
Hold your head and hold it high
That money the sweetest hello, but also the hardest goodbye
The hardest goodbye

Fast forward a couple years now momma stressing in a different way
I'm older now I ain't a child and yet we still got bills to pay




Stressing on a job but steady chasing dreams of spitting
Barely getting by this ain't how we 'sposed to be living
But I'm partially to blame cuz momma work a nine to five
And I ain't even seeking work too busy trynna make a name
Until you been through what I lived trynna understand is hectic
Either that or y'all just don't fuck with the vision like dyslexics
Got way too many objections to the way my life been heading
Wished for adulthood then it came and now I watch my childhood parish
Embarrassed how I been feeling
How will I provide for children of my own some day
I ain't believe you when said my time would come one day
Or at least not this soon
can no longer find comfort in the Saturday cartoons
That time of my life is over sad story but I won't cry
'Cuz it ain't money but my childhood prolly the hardest goodbye
Damn

Hold your head, do what you gotta do to stand out
You the man now, boy ain't nobody giving handouts hey
Hold your head and hold it high
That money the sweetest hello, but also the hardest goodbye
The hardest goodbye
Hold your head, do what you gotta do to stand out
You the man now, boy ain't nobody giving handouts hey
Hold your head and hold it high
That money the sweetest hello, but also the hardest goodbye
The hardest goodbye
