Say Goodbye
Omar Linx Lyrics

You see I’m heading down a road Where nothings what it seems Where you pay for your beliefs and Where you suffer for your dreams
The singer describes a path he's taking where things aren't as they seem, and where pursuing your beliefs and dreams isn't easy, but may come at a cost.

Where the snakes slither on Like nothings gone wrong And the devil sings you songs Till the breaking of morning
The singer describes a world full of deceit and temptation, where the devil beckons with sweet tunes until dawn.

But if you drawn to that night life The Hollywood strip The boulevard and the bright lights Well then your in shit
The singer warns that those attracted to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood are in for trouble.

You see the poison in the fortune And everything you own And the fake frauds support you Leave you in the cold
The singer recognizes the toxicity in wealth and possessions, and how it can leave you feeling alone and unsupported by those you thought were friends.

And those hoes will say they love you But they just want something from you To strip you down till you’re hungry And bleed you out for your money
The singer warns about the dangers of shallow relationships with people who use you for their own gain, leaving you empty and penniless.

It’s funny to watch it all And see the wrong the game will do You used to show me love Now look at all the hate in you
The singer reflects bitterly on how the entertainment industry can change people, turning love into hate and revealing the harmful nature of the game.

So I’mma stick around So nobody go missing me There's always more to lose And it’s never what you'd think it be
The singer resigns himself to the harsh realities of show business, despite its perils, as he fears disappearing if he were to leave.

Cause they ain't listening The outcome ain't no mystery I guess that’s the industry The rest of it is history
The singer bemoans the lack of empathy from executives and the indifferent nature of the music industry, believing the future has already been written and the past forgotten.

I’m pretapes and I ain't Sonic cause when we break bread Them dollar signs They better mirror a sweepstakes win
The singer distances himself from any illusion of fame or otherworldly talent, acknowledging how much money drives the industry.

I wonder why none of my friends ain't got release dates yet When them legends that co-sign and keep putting out shit The game is funny
The singer observes how fame and success can be arbitrary and mysterious, lamenting how some of his talented friends aren't given the same opportunities as others who are supported by legends even if their music is lacking.

You a charity case You just someone they gave money So you ain’t giving me nothing The fuck you gonna take from me
The singer resents the notion that he's just a cash grab for record labels, and questions what they could possibly take from him after disempowering him in such a way.

I’m sick to death of the bull From those that like to tempt me And if your glass is always full I bet your life is empty
The singer has grown tired of the superficiality, hedonism, and needless temptation that haunt many in the industry, believing it to be a form of escapism from deeper issues.

I set my chances on my own yeah Imma get it I'mma sugar coat for peons like a diabetic diuretic
The singer decides to take matters into his own hands to gain success, and admits to using harmless deception to spare others from the harsh realities of the music industry.

Said the dream was all I needed I was certain of it And life's a bitch Still I blow her a kiss Put the blade in her hand And watch her open her wrist
The singer reflects on his certainty that his dreams were enough, only to be met with the harsh and dangerous side of life, comparing it to a sexy, dangerous woman holding a knife.

Say goodbye to the simple life The 9 to 5 Initial owe thats my soul On the dotted line
The singer laments the loss of his simpler life and job, as he finally signs the contract that officially sells his soul.

Forget the moment they owe You know that its dollars signs You've been demoted you older homie You outta time
The singer warns of the fleeting nature of fame and how easily it can be replaced by the almighty dollar, making you irrelevant and dispensable.

Since Out For Blood they pulled me from out the mud I swore that I'd never quit on everything that I love What you expect of me Never think any less of me
The singer recounts how he pulled himself out of the mud and vowed to keep going even when it's tough, asking his listeners to raise their expectations of him.

Of course they gonna envy me I’m everything they'll never be So set me free Let ‘em know I left alone Say goodbye to home let me go I am gone
The singer acknowledges that people will envy him for his success, but doesn't want it to hold him back, yearning for freedom and escape from the industry, saying his goodbyes and leaving it all behind.
