Testo Farewell - J. Cole

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 that 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 them 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
