Goodbye Life Ft. Big Rube

from A World Only Gods Know by Alpha x Scorcese

/

lyrics

Intro: (Big Rube)
You already know what it is…
Alpha…
That boy Scorcese…
This is a World Only Gods Know...

Verse: (Scorcese)

Goodbye life, goodbye to my seeds
Hope I watered your strengths, nurtured your dreams
Hope I, provide understanding, tried to be a better man
Proof in the pudding grab the spoon from the devil's hand
Dig in, just desserts to display your worth
My main course was diverted no my hungers worse
Reminded, times I hunted through my mother's purse
Appetite destructive - but I'm built to serve
Naive - thought my career and my degrees
Could nullify the emptiness
Jealousy she's a petty bitch
swing and miss at love
Buckled by the very pitch - a curveball
You don't understand ya'll
Running from my pain with my mutherfucking pants off
I passed off depression with obsession
Ironic how I teach but never learned the lesson
No difference- between the weed and the Lord's blessing
Divorce religion, embrace my kids
Full circle came back to them
In the cave they the light
Young plato when I grip the mic, y'all niggas scary spice
Old washed up dancing bitches, never pose for pictures
I'm supposed to be the one you don't need descriptions

Hook: (Scorcese)

Ain't no hook on this bitch I just wanna say Goodbye Life
And ain't no love in this bitch I just wanna say Goodbye Life
Celebrate your wins, learn from your losses
Die small time or become a Colossus
Goodbye Life
Good...bye… life

Verse: (Scorcese)

Apologizes in order, to my aborted daughter
If it was up to me you would breathe
Comfortably
Feel ya touch like a summer breeze
If you existed at all, I'd prolly be a better me
Only ghost I ever claimed to see
Goodbye Life, this next line for Speez
Pursuing perfection paralyzes, Time waits for no man
You a demigod, the world in your hands
Be a skyscraper -penthouse, never the basement
Ya talent is a gift to share never waste it
Mama said glimpse the future reach for it, embrace it
But rushing leads to tragedy so have patience
hard to pace a spaceship when you hungry
Or bit of more than you can chew…
You'll catch that later in a quiet moment, this is my atonement
This a violent bonus...
This ain't alpha to omega this is Alpha x Scorcese

Break: (Big Rube)

Sometimes you the bug and sometimes you the windshield
Sometimes you feel you walking dead you shoulda been killed
Think its cool to say shit got real nigga it’s been real
Played yourself making monkey ass moves you shoulda been still
The chance remains to break the chains of ignorance that still binds you
To the weight of all your sorrows and the darkness in your heart that blinds you
So truth’s light can illuminate and elevate your mind too
And strengthen your resolve to put the worst in life behind you
And say goodbye to an existence of sadness and depression
Joyless days, restless nights, hopelessness and missing blessings
What’s the lesson? The path of least resistance causes weakness
Turns the strongest, most aggressive of us into the meekest
To say ‘Goodbye Life’ doesn’t mean you saying goodbye to living
What it means is we can no longer accept simply existing

Hook

Verse: (Scorcese)

My day 1s ain't my A1s, fucking serpents look what they become
It ain't these fucking drugs got my brain so numb
It was you and only you, supposed to be crew
Supposed to be gang… fake hugs and handshakes, got me going insane
Cuz I shoulda felt it, that shift was seismic
We split over nothing
Humpty Dump niggas never on top
Quick to fall when the pressures on
Can't put this back together, guess thems the breaks
So lemme stop… lemme off
Y'all niggas screwed like a bottle cap
Wins coming out my pores lemme bottle that
Fast lane dip the curves lemme throttle that
Did the right thing nigga where my karma at?
Told Alph winner's circle where we stopping at
We tighter than a stocking cap, police still harass us
Niggas turning caspers, all we got is us
A World only Gods Know, All we got is us
Zips til my heart cold, all we got is trust
Plus... Place my bust next to Biggie, Sean P & Prodigy
If it's gotta be it's gotta be
Force of Nature, Firm Philosophy
Probably…
