Akon feat. Rock City - Long Gone |
|
I used to tell my homie |
|
Slow down time after time |
|
But he never would listen |
|
Until he got some time |
|
The life that he was living |
|
I knew it wasn't right |
|
The judge gave him that sentence |
|
And put him up for life |
|
You don't miss the water |
|
Til the well runs dry |
|
Don't miss the living til they die |
|
Don't know the reason |
|
Don't know why |
|
We just let life pass us by |
|
Cause you never know (never know) |
|
What you got (what you got) |
|
Until it's gone (gone away) |
|
Away away away away |
|
Long long gone |
|
Cause you never know (never know) |
|
What you got (what you got) |
|
Until it's gone away |
|
Away away away away |
|
Long long gone |
|
See my best friend used to stay with me |
|
Each and every day he'd chill with me |
|
Always told me to pray for me |
|
But I always thought that he'll be fine |
|
Now I got to watch his mother cry |
|
Cos she loved him child |
|
Don't miss the water |
|
Til the well runs dry |
|
Don't miss the living til they die |
|
Don't know the reason |
|
Don't know why |
|
We just let life pass us by. |
|
Cause you never know (never know) |
|
What you got (what you got) |
|
Until it's gone away |
|
Away away away away |
|
Long long gone |
|
Cause you never know (never know) |
|
What you got (what you got) |
|
Until it's gone away |
|
Away away away away |
|
Long long gone |
|
So don't you take for granted |
|
The life you've been handed |
|
Be thankful and grateful |
|
Cause life goes on |
|
With or without you |
|
Plus there's so many people worse off than you |
|
With no chance of changing |
|
It's truly up to you |
|
Cause you never know (never know) |
|
What you got (what you got) |
|
Until it's gone away |
|
Away away away away |
|
Long long gone |
|
Cause you never know (never know) |
|
What you got (what you got) |
|
Until it's gone away |
|
Away away away away |
|
Long long gone |
