[Intro]
Yeah...
This ain't a diss.
Ain't a call for nobody to come running back.
Just something I needed to say
before I finally close that door.
[Verse 1]
Beaumont, California, that's where the story started,
Young and dumb, big dreams, broken-hearted.
Neighborhood Villains, we was more than just a name,
Had each other's backs, shared the struggle and the pain.
Long nights, cheap drinks, laughing till the sunrise,
Talking like forever was a promise we could never break.
Back then, none of us could see the road ahead,
Didn't know some of our brothers would end up dead.
Now the years got distance where the friendship used to be,
Misunderstandings multiplied, silence grew between.
Some got families, some got bills, some got different lives,
Some disappeared completely, some never made it out alive.
And I won't lie, sometimes I wonder what went wrong,
How something built so strong could disappear this long.
But I'm done chasing ghosts through a phone that never rings,
If you wanted reconciliation, you knew where I was at.
[Hook]
So goodbye, Neighborhood Villains,
It was a hell of a run while it lasted.
We were young, we were reckless,
We were brothers in the madness.
Some of us are gone,
Some of us moved on,
Some of us just couldn't put the differences aside.
I ain't holding hate,
But I ain't waiting at the gate—
If you couldn't reach back then,
Don't reach when I'm gone from your life.
[Verse 2]
I remember every face, every laugh, every scar,
Every dumb-ass dream about becoming superstars.
We didn't have much, but somehow we had enough,
A little loyalty could make a broke kid feel rich as fuck.
Then life started testing every bond that we made,
Pride became walls and apologies came too late.
Everybody had a story, everybody had a side,
But nobody wanted to sit down and actually talk it out.
Years went by, and the silence became normal,
What started as a disagreement turned into something formal.
No calls, no texts, no "brother, how you been?"
Just memories getting older while the distance settled in.
And maybe I'm guilty too, I ain't claiming I'm innocent,
I've got my own mistakes and my own shit I've been carrying.
But there's a difference between a wound and refusing to heal,
And I can't keep making space for people scared to be real.
[Hook]
So goodbye, Neighborhood Villains,
It was a hell of a run while it lasted.
We were young, we were reckless,
We were brothers in the madness.
Some of us are gone,
Some of us moved on,
Some of us just couldn't put the differences aside.
I ain't holding hate,
But I ain't waiting at the gate—
If you couldn't reach back then,
Don't reach when I'm gone from your life.
[Verse 3]
To the ones who passed, I hope you found some peace,
I still hear your voices when the old memories speak.
To the ones with families, I hope your children know,
The people you were before adulthood took control.
To the ones still angry, I hope you let that shit go,
Life's too fucking short to keep feeding old ghosts.
And to anybody wondering if I ever cared—
Yeah, I did.
That's exactly why this goodbye had to be said.
Because I don't hate you,
I just don't need you anymore.
There's a difference.
I can love what we were
without reopening that door.
I won't chase reconciliation,
I won't beg for a conversation.
If years of silence couldn't make you reach,
Then I'm finally accepting what that silence means.
No more "maybe someday,"
No more "perhaps they'll call."
I've got people in my life who actually answer when I call.
So I'm taking every lesson and I'm leaving every grudge,
Taking all the good memories and releasing all the dust.
[Bridge]
We were villains in the neighborhood,
But we thought we'd live forever.
Funny how time changes everything,
And nothing stays together.
If I ever hurt you,
I hope you found your way past it.
If you ever hurt me,
I forgive you—but I'm not going backward.
[Final Hook]
So goodbye, Neighborhood Villains,
Yeah, this is where I leave it.
No disrespect to what we had,
But I don't need to repeat it.
We were young, we were reckless,
We were brothers in the madness.
That chapter made me who I am,
And I'll always be thankful.
Some of us are gone,
Some of us moved on,
Some of us got families of our own.
And some chose silence
when they could've picked up the phone.
I ain't holding hate,
I ain't carrying that weight.
The door ain't locked—
I just stopped standing there waiting.
Goodbye, Neighborhood Villains.
It was a nice fucking run.
[Outro]
Beaumont...
You gave us a story.
The Neighborhood Villains...
That was a chapter.
Not every chapter gets a reunion.
Some just deserve a final page.
So this is mine.
Goodbye, brothers.
Wherever life took you...
I hope you're alright.
