Gone (feat. Ricco Barrino)

Hey, whoo, ooh

Hey, yeah, ooh now

If I had one wish, that wish would be clear

That I would not have to go, that I could stay here

And although it hurts me to leave you all alone

Just know I'll come back to you, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

When I'm dead and gone, don't even worry

Don't mourn me too long, death'll get you discouraged

Keeping your vision blurry, prison and mentally hurting

I know it for certain if I'm really resting in heaven

No need for you to fear, don't cry

'Cause death won't forever have a grip on our lives

So I'ma be coming, be ready for the next shine

'Cause I'm a believer that I'll see a resurrection

Don't believe that I'll burn in hell

I study the scriptures and they learn me well

No tripping, no dripping, no purgatory I dwell

I sleep, I rest in peace till I prevail

It's just a temporary lay down

I won't forever stay down

So keep me in your memory, don't let me fade out

I'll probably never see you at the crossroads

Guess I was wrong

I'm gone, gone, long gone

If I had one wish, that wish would be clear

That I would not have to go, that I could stay here

And although it hurts me to leave you all alone

Just know I'll come back to you, for now I am gone

We hit the road back in 1993

Had a vision like a prophet, the project was go see

The logic was so deep, I come back and do a lotta good

I heard the call, so I headed out to Hollywood

One-way tickets, my **** and no fear

Some said that we was tripping, the mission was so clear

Don't wanna go there, the money was over there

I still love you nine-nine, I miss you St. Claire

Yeah, now I'm moving on a rollercoaster

Just riding, tryna be Jehovah's soldier

And I'm grinding, tryna make it better for you

So for now I best be gone, be gone

I made a vow to change the world somehow

I'ma impact it and see it in this lifetime

On the dark road to bring back the sunshine

But for now I'm gone, I gotta go get it

If I had one wish, that wish would be clear

That I would not have to go, that I could stay here

And although it hurts me to leave you all alone

Just know I'll come back to you, for now I am gone

If it's out there to get, then I'ma go and get it

Get it till I got nothing left, chasing better living

It's a tenuous mission, so I'm steady moving

And I gotta get it in, never settle for losing

I'm a thug, true, add to or get out the way

You could settle for less, but I need more on my plate

Eating good, family good

Okay till that day, I'ma get up and move, move

Show my babies how the Thug do, ooh

I'ma play like it's my last game

If it's due, better give it up right away

'Cause a thug ****'s gonna bring pressure

See me fucked up, starving, **** never

And as long **** out here getting paid

Back to my old ways

Who they gonna run and tell, huh?

It's a street thing, come on

If I had one wish, that wish would be clear

That I would not have to go, that I could stay here

And although it hurts me to leave you all alone

Just know I'll come back to you, for now I am gone

Yeah, we ready, back up in 'em

With nothing but the harmony rhythm

Hard hitting flows all we give 'em

Flows that spit venom

No cop, there goes the end of 'em

Ever sing the beginning, we winning it

Get a glimpse of legends standing on deck

Till we come, we'll be here holding down the set

Keep on wondering what the Bone 'bout to do next

Still they humble and the hungriest, God bless

The fan fam' flex all across the US

Overseas to Tel Aiv, then back west

You know we go the hardest

No need to say we better than the rest

It's obvious, more or less

Came down off my high from the wet

When I had to do a stretch, I signed so I cashed the check

Had me caught up in a game, insane, my head blown

What's going on? 'Cause nobody home

If I had one wish, that wish would be clear

That I would not have to go, that I could stay here

And although it hurts me to leave you all alone

Just know I'll come back to you, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

For now I am gone, for now I am gone

Gone, I'm gone

I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm so gone, girl

I'm so gone, whoo
