Irish Goodbye Songtext
von Rocky Rivera

This ain′t my epilogue
I'm walking out without a word
I done told you my whole life story
Fuck what you heard
Fuck what you think you know
We live, we learn, we laugh, we grow
And if we lucky, we fall in love
Like you my Romeo (Mwah)
I′m Juliet
It's something I'll never forget
I got all the notes down
A journalist once said
Protect my sources
If anything goes down
It ain′t for the weak
It ain′t for amateurs looking for ways to go viral
There is no conscious consumption of capitalism Try not to spiral
I just be doing my own thing
Be writing my own rules
Growing my own weed
Playing my own tunes
Tending my own garden
Healing my own wounds
Redrawing boundaries
I don't deal with no old fools
Might get me an old school
Deactivate my accounts
Might get me a money counter
And only pay cash in large amounts
Get back to the paper
Probably won′t see you later
I like my Irish goodbyes
Way more than London likes being mayor


You gon' miss me whenever I′m gone
So appreciate me while I'm here
(Hey, how you been?)
I′ve been good, been a minute
Been just keeping that smoke in the air
I'll be around though
(She was right here, swear she was right here)
You might see me around though
(She was just right here, she was just right here)

Don't call it San Fran
It′s Frisco
If you black and brown with
A pistol
Cuz RBL taught me bout bluebirds
And IMP taught me bout sick flows
From the shipyards to the steep hills
Man they can′t hang
We be too real
Even Keith Lee left abruptly
No think piece, that's how I feel (That′s how I feel)
I told you this is way worse
Than Fox News talkin' ′bout so just stay put
The real ones 'bout to reclaim
Them 48 hills
Bitch that′s MY hood
Concrete jungle, I'm Jane tho
My Frisco folks' is the antidote
But if these Tarzan′s & Bezos
Try′n keep me broke
Then it's on, ho

You gon′ miss me whenever I'm gone
So appreciate me while I′m here
(Hey, how you been?)
I've been good, been a minute
Been just keeping that smoke in the air
I′ll be around though
(She was right here, swear she was right here)
You might see me around though
(She was just right here, she was just right here)

If you native SF
Don't snitch
To the right wing
You a pawn in political fighting
ALL CAPS in the comments
But you all cap
In real life things
On the losing side of history
Long as the second amendment's protected it′s fair game
Now our children are targets in public
When American terrorists take aim
Read a book or two
Take a college course
Educate yourself on the Middle East
And just watch out
For them Zionists
They blue line like the police
Free Palestine say it times three
If you with them you a whole Op
Filipinos from my block on my back
That′s how I rock

You gon' miss me whenever I′m gone
So appreciate me while I'm here
(Hey, how you been?)
I′ve been good, been a minute
Been just keeping that smoke in the air
I'll be around though
(She was right here, swear she was right here)
You might see me around though
(She was just right here, she was just right here)

You gon′ miss me whenever I'm gone
So appreciate me while I'm here
(Hey, how you been?)
I′ve been good, been a minute
Been just keeping that smoke in the air
I′ll be around though
(She was right here, swear she was right here)
You might see me around though
(She was just right here, she was just right here)
