Bacardi and Hen', never thought the party would end

One minute you're bodyin' shit, but then your audience splits

You can already sense the climate is starting to shift

To these kids you no longer exist

Went from rainin' cats and dogs in this bitch

To tiny drops, little drips

And by the time your reign is over, you'll hardly be missed

You start thinkin' of all the artists you dissed

All the carnage you left, is this the kind of karma you get

For turnin' your fuckin' back on Bizzy, Kuniva, and Swift?

A Freudian slip, subconsciously, I honestly wished

I ain't feel so much guilt and y'all didn't harbor resentment

But it's hard to pretend that y'all ain't got none

I just wish I had words, but I guess there just are none for this

To my partners, I can't say how sorry I am

This is not how I planned for our story to end

I love all of you men

But I just can't be the guy everybody depends

On for entire careers 'cause that's not even fair

I will always be here, but that spark isn't there

And I don't know how to recapture that time and that era

I've tried hearkening back to, but I'm fightin' for air

I'm barely chartin' myself

Feels like I'm on the descent, but it was not my intent

To treat y'all like a stepping stone

Though I ain't left no one behind, but we been down every road

Done all we possibly can, I know we kept our hopes up

But the longer we spend livin' this lie that we live

The less is left for closure, so let's let this go

It's not goodbye to our friendship, but D12 is over
