Hey, whoa, oh
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
Gone (for now I am gone)
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 ya discouraged
Keepin' your vision blurry, prison, and mentally hurtin'
I know it, for certain, if I'm really restin' in heaven
No need for you to fear, don't cry
'Cause death won't forever have a grip on our life
So I'm-a be comin' big, ready for the last shine
'Cause I am 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 trippin', no drippin', no purgatory I dwell
I sleep, I rest in peace until 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 lot o' good
I heard ya callin', so I headed-out to Hollywood
One-way tickets, my niggas, and no fear
Some said that we was trippin', the mission was so clear
Don't wanna go there, the money was over there
I still love ya, '99, I miss ya St. Claire
Yeah, now I'm movin' on a rollercoaster
Just ridin', tryin' to be Jehovah's soldier
And I'm grindin', tryin' to 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 nothin' left, chasin' better livin'
It's a continuous mission, so I'm steady movin'
And I gotta get it in, never settle for losin'
I'm a thug, true, add-to or get out the way
You could settle for less, but I need more on my plate
Eatin' good, family good
Okay, until that day, I'm-a get-up and move, move
Show my babies how the thug do, ooh
I'm-a play it like it's my last game
If it's due, better give it up, right away
'Cause a thug-nigga's gonna bring pressure
See me fucked-up, starvin', nigga, never
And as long as niggas out here gettin' paid
Back to my old ways
Who they gonna run and tell, huh?
It's a street thang, 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 nothin' but that harmony rhythm
Hard-hittin' flows, all we give 'em
Flows that spit venom
No cop there goes, the end of 'em
Ever since the beginning, we winnin' it
Get a glimpse of legends standin' on-deck
Till we come, we be here holdin'-down the set
Keep on wonderin' what the Bone 'bout to do next
Still, they're humble, and the hungriest, God bless
The fan-fam flex, all across the you. S
Overseas and Tel Aviv and 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 goin' on?
'Cause ain't nobody home
If I had one wish, that wish would be clear
That I would not have to go (that I could stay here)
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
I'm gone (for now, I am gone)
For now, I am gone (for now, I am gone)
