Farewell Lyrics - Friday Night Lights - J. Cole

Yeah, farewell 

Hey, farewell 

Alllmy niggas farewell 

Fayettenam 

Look, some niggas let there dirt out, 

Some niggas keep it all in 'em 

So when a man dies all his secrets go with him 

And fame 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 ain't 

Will they tarnish, will they taint? 

Glorify me, overthink, 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 was nothing but a man 

Wasn't nothin' but a man

This for niggas climbin' heavens stairwell 

Yeah, hey farewell 

Yeh, hey farewell 

This for niggas climbin' heavens stairwell 

I pray you farewell 

I bid you farewell 

Yeah, ey, farewell 

Yeah, yeah 

If I should die Lord this here is my will 

Reincarnate a nigga send me right back to the Ville 

Photos 

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 age 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 had to bury my ass 

You know the cliche "lifes 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 mom chauffer 

It's 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' heavens stairwell 

Yeah, hey farewell 

I pray you niggas farewell 

This for niggas climbin' heavens stairwell 

Hey farewell, hey farewell 

Yeah, farewell 

Yeh
