This is for my people, who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We’ll never say bye no-no-no

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my people who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we’ll never say bye

As a child, there were them times
I didn’t get it, but you kept me in line
I didn’t know why you didn’t show up sometimes on Sunday mornings
And i missed you, but i’m glad we talked trough

All them grown folk things, seperation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me, and obviously
There’s so much more left to say, if you were with me today: face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish, I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try to not to cry
As time goes by

And it’s true you’ve reached a better place
Still I’d give the world to see your face
And if I can be right next to you
But it’s like you’re gone to soon

Now, the hardest thing to do
Is say bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye (x3)

Bye bye

And you never got a chance to see, how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here, to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at a night
With the teddybear that you gave me, that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong, you’d make it trough whatever
It’s so hard to accept, you’re gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish, I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try to not to cry
As time goes by

And it’s true you’ve reached a better place
Still I’d give the world to see your face
And if I can be right next to you
But it’s like you’re gone to soon

Now, the hardest thing to do
Is say bye bye

Bye bye bye bye bye bye (x3)

Bye bye
