[Intro - Mariah Carey (Akon)] This is for my people who just lost somebody Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady Put your hands way up high (put them way up high) We will never say bye, never, no, no (never say goodbye) Momma's, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins (yeah) This is for my peoples who lost they grandmothers (yeah) Lift ya hands to the sky (lift them way up high), 'cause we will never say bye (never say goodbye) [Verse 1 - Akon] I know, I know you're gone, I know I'll see you again One thing that I can promise, we gon' meet up again Hopefully up in heaven, praying' that I'm forgiven For everything that I've done, and that I forgot to mention If feel so bad to be without my homie And every since you've been absent I've been so lonely Why does life cycle around like a trophy Even though know somebody took the time to warn me That you can't be with me and it's just crazy And everyday I'm wishing that you could come save me And I know a man ain't supposed to cry It's taken all the strength in my soul to say goodbye [Chorus - Mariah Carey] Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye Bye bye [Verse 2 - Mariah Carey] And you never got the 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 night With the teddy bear you gave to me that I held so tight I thought you were so strong That you can make it through whatever It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever I never knew I could hurt like this And everyday life goes on like I wish I could talk to you for awhile I wish I could find a way try not to cry As time goes by And soon as you reach a better place Still I'll give the whole world to see your face And I'm right here next to you It feels like you gone too soon The hardest thing to do is say bye [Chorus - Mariah Carey] [Verse 3 - Lil Wayne] Yea, I feel you sweetheart, let me talk to them Yeah, How come they call it goodbye? How come the good die? See I just get high and think of the good times That I had with my pops, he was a good guy How come the good die? As I protect my mother ‘Cause I'm her oldest son, and there are different worlds And we in the coldest one, which one did granny go to? And why do d**h come? As my baby ask where do babies come from I tell her where, I tell her why And I tell her I love her until I tell her bye And whenever I shall ever die, I hope you celebrate it I hope you never hate it, and they say heaven's gated But I think I know the code, and let's get your life right By the end of the road, that's why I drive alone down memory lane So if I crash I hope you-all remember Wayne, goodbye [Bridge - Mariah Carey] I never knew I could hurt like this And everyday life goes on like I wish I could talk to you for awhile I wish I could find a way try not to cry As time goes by And soon as you reach a better place Still I'll give the whole world to see your face And I'm right here next to you It feels like you gone too soon The hardest thing to do is say bye [Chorus - Mariah Carey] [Outro - Mariah Carey] It's hard to say bye, bye, bye, bye So come on somebody say it with me Wave ya hands up high ‘Cause this is for my peoples who just lost somebody See this is for everybody, just lift your hands to the sky ‘Cause we will never say bye, bye
