This Is Goodbye



Still living in his childhood, blaming all his trauma on his momma, as a childish one would, mad at the world like it owe him something, mad at his girl because she wanna be something...
He talk alot, but he ain't bout what he be talking bout, it all sound good, but it's just lifeless words coming out his mouth...
He got that woe me, pitty me, life beat me mentality, at some point, we all gotta take responsibility for not being where we should be...
Poor momma, he wanna blame it all on you, guess he forgot that he got a daddy too...
Reckless in the streets & toxic to whoever he meets, disregarding all of the rules that anyone tried to teach,
Rebellious in his own right, no daddy to tuck him in at night,
Be careful ladies, every disagreement ends in a fight...
Creating his own hell, every other month he need bail, mad at you when you say you have bills, so he promise to pay it back, but you know better than that.
During his day, drugs have their way, with the attempt to mask the pain, with the pop of the top, he moved the rock out of the bottle spirits unknown and thoughts not thought...
Now the threat is to kill, bet that just changed how you feel, yeah it just real, thats the end of this whole ordeal...
It's time to part ways, you go yours and ill go mine, undisclosed location avoiding communication, to avoid the manipulation...
This is Goodbye
