GOODBYE by Kainan Seth Lyrics
[verse one]
I remember back in middle school, when I was picked last
I felt like a diamond in the rough, under pressure in that gem class
They thought it was dope to crack a joke, snow I let them laugh
And I wanted take my anger out, but instead, I treated my pen bad
Next up, it was plain to see, in the ninth grade, I was Cast Away
And them songs they had was saying Nuthin, so I had to blast Lecrae
Someone told me turn it off and he tried to attack me
I was a fresh man in the flesh man, he caught these hands, and we couldn't see
Now some kids are still afraid of the light
Well, I'ma go hide cause I'm probably scaring 'em
They said racism was cheesy
But I threw it away like some nasty old dairy, son
It all blew up, I was finna go dive
Good thing it wasn't in Kendrick aquarium
Cause the blood was on me, so I would have dead
Just like the past, which I put to bed, aye
[Hook- Faolán]
Then why I gotta let this go
If I do what will I have to show
The present or the past, where will my future be at
If I don't tell that old life to go away
[Chorus- Kainan Seth]
That's why I gotta say goodbye [goodbye]
That's why I gotta say goodbye [goodbye]
That's why I gotta say goodbye [goodbye]
That's why I gotta say goodbye [goodbye]
[Hook- Faolán]
Then why I gotta let this go
If I do what will I have to show
The present or the past, where will my future be at
If I don't tell my old life to go away
[bridge - Kainan Seth]
Tell that old life goodbye, tell that old life goodbye
Tell that old life goodbye, tell that old life goodbye
Tell that sin goodbye, tell that sin goodbye
Tell that sin goodbye, tell that sin goodbye
[verse two]
The World's melting 'cause of an Apple, we stuck thanks to a Mac, Man
And I don't wanna be the bad guy, I won't be the angry black man
I hate statistics, you know why, they use it to throw us back, man
We won't die in vain, but I will not the lie, I still had a heart attack, man
People came after my life, my skin, my soul
I was told I only want the bread, well then, what's my role [roll]
That cut like a long knife, so I buried that hate deeper than a mole
Until I had to let it go, but with that being said, what's the goal?
Well, how do we bounce back and live free
Temptation is planted just like it's a tree!
Then it hit, that gut feeling
God's in charge like He's Commander Gree
Might a lost my head, but we got victory 'cause
He's here to raise up you and me
One man cleared my history
It's why I love life's mystery
[Hook- Faolán]
Then why I gotta let this go?
But if I do what will I have to show?
The present or the past, where will my future be at?
If I don't tell that old life to go away?
[Chorus- Kainan Seth]
That's why I gotta say goodbye!
That's why I gotta say goodbye!
That's why I gotta say goodbye, goodbye, ay!
That's why I gotta say goodbye!
[Hook- Faolán]
Then why I gotta let this go?
If I do what will I have to show?
The present or the past, where will my future be at?
If I don't tell my old life to go away?
[bridge- Kainan Seth]
Tell that old life goodbye, tell that old life goodbye
Tell that old sin goodbye, tell that old sin goodbye
Tell them haters goodbye, tell that hater goodbye
Tell Satan goodbye, tell the devil goodbye!
[outro- Kainan Seth]
Gotta leave some stuff in the past man
You know we all deal with that
Looking back. Gotta let stuff go
Tell it goodbye, ah!
