Goner

I wish I could stick around longer
Goodbyes are often overdone
It's hard to not feel like a goner, yeah
When it seems like you've only begun
My story's been told, I'm passing on
Some of us grow old, some don't stay long
But I wish I could stick around longer, yeah
Please continue the work that I've done

I made some mistakes, yeah I made a lot
But I never sold out, I couldn't be bought
Tempted with money and tempted with weed
God always gave me the things that I need and
I don't need a break, no I never need out
Walls keep on closing that's what it's about
If you want it easy then run with the wicked
Despicables princin' but won't get a crown
Eyes looking up while they bringing you down
The prophets before us, they never knew frowns
Bearing the weight of a million pounds
Critiquing the state and end up in the ground
Jesus' love is unending, it's bottomless
Entertainment and temptation synonymous
Seed has been planted, don't take it for granted
The Book of Life's author don't want you left out

I wish I could stick around longer
Goodbyes are often overdone
It's hard to not feel like a goner, yeah
When it seems like you've only begun
My story's been told, I'm passing on
Some of us grow old, some don't stay long
But I wish I could stick around longer, yeah
Please continue the work that I've done

The work that I did was my only concern
It's my passion, ready for passing
Dead in my body but spirit keep lasting
Preach 'till I'm rasping
Reaching by rapping
Clutching my purpose, it's worth it, I'm clasping
Practicing faith in my verses
God made a way for his servant
Everyday pray for discernment
Teaching me lessons I need to be learnin', yeah
I never celebrate holidays
Prayed for direction got Hollie Hays
She had to witness my folly phase
Total 180, she prolly prayed and
I'm grateful
Path I was walking was fateful
Family had always been faithful
Keeping me biblically potty trained, and that's why

I wish I could stick around longer
Goodbyes are often overdone
It's hard to not feel like a goner, yeah
When it seems like you've only begun
My story's been told, I'm passing on
Some of us grow old, some don't stay long
But I wish I could stick around longer, yeah
Please continue the work that I've done

Not here for a good time, not here for a long time
As long as there's work planned he's keeping me online
Not here for a good time, not here for a long time
As long as there's work planned he's keeping me online
Not here for a good time, not here for a long time
As long as there's work planned he's keeping me online
Not here for a good time, not here for a long time
As long as there's work planned he's keeping me online

And I wish I could stick around longer
He's a goner
Goodbyes are often overdone
It's hard to not feel like a goner
He's a goner
When it seems like you've only begun
My story's been told, I'm passing on
Some of us grow old, some don't stay long and
I wish I could stick around longer, yeah
Please continue the work that I've done
