1. “But you had an all-white affair, grandpa’s all fly/Even though you been got there, goodbye” — Joell Ortiz, ‘Goodbye’ lyrics
This tune is a quiet, introspective one for the normally boisterous Slaughterhouse crew. But in this tune full of sadness and tragedies — complications with pregnancies, surrogate fathers fighting losing battles with cancer, and the like — Joell’s account stands out. This verse deals with the loss of his beloved grandmother, and his eye for detail really makes the scene come alive. This final couplet, giving a picture of an aging, grieving widower putting on his sharpest suit at his wife’s funeral, just about brings tears to our eyes.
