(Chorus)
(Lady signing)
Au Revoir!
(man signing) Why is it so hard to say good bye
(Lady) Bye, Bye

(Esham)
Why oh why is it so hard to say goodbye my lord?
Oh tell me is it a stairway to heaven I can't afford?
Racin' in this race you might have a crash collision
While your babies find their way to make their own decisions
Ain't nobody tell me nothin' 'bout hustlin' strugglin' and gamblin'
And runnin' through the maze in Detroit while they're scribble scramblin'

(Chorus X1.2)

(Mastamind)
Now one, you thought I was gone, thought I was lost in the storm
But uh, I can never seem let go of this game, gotta keep rollin' on
Gotta keep holdin' on, to my handles
Stay strong, through the scandals
You can neva do, what you plan to do
When n***as try to underhand you
Why oh why is it so hard to say peace, to my pain
I got the soul of the beast, in my veins
I guess I'll never change, all these games people play, I pay no mind
No evidence, no crime, can't let go, of this wicked rhyme
Chorus

(TNT)
Why oh why is it hard to say goodbye?
Who do doves cry? Why must I stay high?
In my world, n***as get wet, like jerry curls
Mothers cry, funeral processions ride by
Formaldehyde keeps my mind, in the sky
I believe, I believe I can fly
But uh, why is it so hard to say goodbye? Goodbye

(song fades)
