    Yeah, farewell
    Hey, farewell
    All my niggas farewell
    Fayettenam

    Look, some niggas let their dirt out
    Some just keep it all in 'em
    So when a man dies all his secrets go with him
    And fade. A part of history no longer known
    Done did a lot of dirt I'll bury with me when I'm gone
    When my story's told, how will they tell it?
    Will they say I was a giver or remember I was selfish?
    Will they say I was a sinner or pretend I was a saint?
    Will I go down as a winner, what's the picture they gon' paint?
    Wouldn't say that I'm a quitter, that's one thing I know I ain't
    Will they tarnish, will they taint?
    Glorify me, over-think? Say they know me, say I'm great?
    Say I'm phoney, I was fake?
    Say the things about me they never told me to my face?
    I was loved I was hated
    Just a nigga with a dream
    I'm a liar, I was honest, I was all of these things
    When I'm gone let em talk, they discussing who I am
    When they bury me just know I wasn't nothing but a man
    Wasn't nothin' but a man

    This for niggas climbin' heaven's stairwell
    Yeah, hey farewell
    Yeh, hey farewell
    This for niggas climbin' heaven's stairwell
    I pray you farewell
    I bid you farewell
    Yeah, hey, farewell
    Yeah, yeah

    If I should die Lord this here is my will
    Reincarnate a nigga send me right back to the Ville
    Let me relive my younger days just once again
    Reenact my memories from every friend to every sin
    Keeping demons buried in my closet
    But yet I put in work like a deposit on my bank account
    My eyes lit while I think about my childhood now I'm blanking out
    Those were truly my best days
    The only thing I had to stress was how the hell to get laid
    Gradually turn into me stressin' how the hell to get paid
    Been making songs so long, now how the hell they get played
    Ok, I'm blowing up quickly, I guess the flow is sickly
    But yet I can't forget my past and hope it won't forget me
    Got good grades but A's can't stop strays so pray for me
    Pour liquor for my niggas but hey, don't wait for me
    Cause I'm trying to cheat death, she out to bury my ass
    You know the cliche life's a bitch well I'm gon marry that ass
    And sign a pre-nup
    Think back to when we tore the skating rink up
    Rapping and we scrapping, we got older hit the teen club
    Gave mean mugs to niggas but we winked to all the girls
    Then we went back to the crib thinking we had saw the World
    No sir, came a long way from having momma chauffer
    Its hard to think these hoes at some point were so pure
    But now we play the game, when it's over send me back
    I swear I'm not gon change a thing
    I swear I'm not gon change a thing

    This for them niggas climbin' heaven's stairwell
    Yeah, hey farewell
    I pray you niggas farewell
    This for them niggas climbin' heaven's stairwell
    Hey farewell, hey farewell
    Yeah, hey farewell
    Yeah
