[intro]
Bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye
[verse 1 - English Frank]
12 years old
Blowin' smoke out the window
Playing gansters paradise coolio on the cassio
I knew about being broke for real and my pockets had holes
Aswell as my shoes, my socks, my hat and all of my clothes
Gettin' real beatings everyday from my big bro
Did he do it to toughen me up?
I just make my heart turn cold
To tell the truth i don't know
But for no amount of dough
Would i ever switch the life and change the home that grow
Man dont know about real love
Man don't know about fate
Man only know about fake dick writing and hate
This is the life that i hate
This is the life that i live
But in this life i've learnt to love and 'fore my love don't exist
So when i reincarnate i reach a higher pain
Forget your champagne
Im sitting by the river
Sipping filtered water
Times are changing
Got a son could soon have a daughter
Gotta fix up and concentrate on what i oughta
[Chorus - Mic Righteous]
Lets start a new page, it's a new day
I ain't tryna live with a heart full of hate
Kissing goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye
[Verse 2 - Mic Righteous]
This is goodbye to the hood life
Kissin' goodbye as the hood cries
Wishin' good times outweigh the bad times
When i died the whole mic went missing like part of my mind
Partly why i never trust my missus
Issues, listen
This is one part of a vision
When you slip them opportunists will be quick to watch you fall up off that cliff
Now im squashing that beef
It's boring as shit
Im too old to be boring with kids
Im calling it quits
SIKE! got my finger up to all of you pricks
Poor little gits
Who is poor as it gets
Been through far too much shit to go through it all again
The more that it's in
The more bad karma i seen
How calm i been
For the sake of my little one im tryna be a father to him
Father forgive me for my past
Im starting again
[Chorus - Mic Righteous]
Imma start a new page, it's a new day
I ain't tryna live with a heart full of hate
Kissing goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye
[Verse 3 - English Frank]
Pray for the best
Prepare for the worst
Put love and happiness first
Have no fears for nothing on earth
So don't grieve if im stocked in a hearse
I won't be the first or the last
So cry happy tears when im passed
I passed wisdom down to my [?]
I was supposed to be
I'd die before the day that i seed a lust for greed
It even with my dad
It's like the junk made him forget that he had
Two sons that loved and respected him so bad
Apart from that he was the man
Could build anything with his hands
And showed me i didn't need a degree to make money with my hands
We went rags to riches
For real i was concieved in a squat
I remember my dad giving me 5p to pop to the shop
So young and innocent when i saw a strap
I thought it was a toy
Couldn't even hold it straight just a weak little boy
I'm leaving the streets alone
The streets got nothing for me
The streets got nothing for you
The streets got nothing but grief
[Chorus - Mic Righteous]
Imma start a new page, it's a new day
I ain't tryna live with a heart full of hate
Kissing goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye
