[Chorus]
I wish you'd stay here, but that's your decision
You tried to tell them, but no one ever listened
Sometimes life ain't fair
Do not feel any different
Trust me, I do care
You'll always be
You'll always be

[Verse 1]
My mentor, the maestro, the go to where I know that I'm welcome, I'm accepted
You're the best at your job, too
The message I can decode, but you're leavin' on a high note
Be freed and don't feel low
We're a team and we achieved goals
You've taught well and said, "don't think you ever can't do something, keep going!"
—That's true art
You're a classic
To me you're a legend
The G.O.A.T., yes, I said it
I hope you stay blessed, yeah (Ayy)

[Verse 2]
I stand invested these past years as tested
You showed em all, they are wrong so j-j-just let them
Wasn't ready for the resignation
There'll never be an imitation
You're unique, you're a teacher, but to me you're my best friend
And I love that about you
Our class has a connection
I personally found you lit, I'm affected
I know that you care for us, but do what's right for you
Thank you for everything and do what you gotta do

[Bridge]
Respect don't come often in a world full of haters (World full of haters)
But, just know I believe you with the picture you've painted (Picture you've painted)
And to those who deceive you, karma's only awaitin' (Only awaitin')
I can't blame you, I'd do the same thing
That ain't you, but you brought change
(To this universal language)
Respect don't come often in a world full of haters (World full of haters)
But, just know I believe you with the picture you've painted (Picture you've painted)
And to those who deceive you, karma's only awaitin' (Only awaitin')
I can't blame you, I'd do the same thing
That ain't you, but you brought change

[Refrain]
You're the man
You helped us grow
Understand, I support you this time
You're the guy
This ain't goodbye
See you later
See you later!
[Chorus]
I wish you'd stay here, but that's your decision
You tried to tell them, but no one ever listened
Sometimes life ain't fair
Do not feel any different
Trust me, I do care
You'll always be
You'll always be
