Gone.

The world can be a lonely place
When you're just a name without a face
You can disappear without a trace and be gone
Gone (Gone)
Gone (Gone)
Gone (Gone)
Gone (Gone)

Heaven got to be better than this
Surrounded by villains, thugs, drugs & killers
My dreams champagne, my reality is Miller
(I see the dope boys)
Rocking the latest fashion they be lady Mackin'
I'm dressed in t-shirts my sister used to where to class and
(Is there a way out of here)
That don't include a set of cuffs
An early exit cause an enemy done had enough
(My life is changing, becoming tainted)
Dig schooled me on the hustle
Need your mind not your muscle wait
(Your people expect better)
Plus the good Lord, blessed me with talent beyond measure
If I can keep my nose clean balling on this sport team
(Sky's the limit got to keep ya head up)
It's like a constant battle
Stay patient and humble
Load up the saddle hit that road that not too many travel
(Or hit the interstate of inner city dreams)
Cause that Spike Lee Joint, on empty stomachs never easy as it seems
(Never easy as it seems)
I hear two voices calling
One sound like mama the other talking bout commas
Please catch me Lord I think I'm falling
Streets, seem to amaze me and mama raised me
To see the beauty in the struggle
but the fast money make my vision hazy
(True)
Reflecting on what happened to Juan
The same fate could be awaiting you
(You can, succeed)
(Stay faithful, believe)
Papa told me to go to school get my learning
Respect, an honest living got to earn it
Wisdom breeds discernment
Build a bridge don't burn it
Stay out of the streets they filled with leeches vermin
(Oooooooooo)
Before you play the game learn the fundamentals
Limit mistakes, we can't afford them it's simple
The truth is, we all travel take too many steps
They just got NBA refs

The world can be a lonely place
When you're just a name without a face
You can disappear without a trace and be gone
Gone (Gone)
Gone (Gone)
Gone (Gone)
Gone (Gone)
Heaven got to be better than this
Ooooooooo
