Gone (feat. Ricco Barrino) (Amended Album Version)

Heyyy  wooo  ooooh
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 (gooooooooooooooone)
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 (gooooooooooooooone)
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
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 lives
So I'ma be comin  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 trippin  no drippin  no purgatory I dwell
I sleep  I rest in piece 'til 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 callin so I headed out to Hollywood
One-way tickets  my niggaz 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 9-9  I miss ya St  Clair
Yeah  now I'm movin on a roller coaster
Just ridin  tryin to be Jehovah's soldier
And I'm grindin  tryin to make it better for ya
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 'til I got nothin left  chasin better livin
It's a 'tinuous 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 'til that day I'ma get up and move  move
Show my babies how the Thug do  ooh
I'ma play it like it's my last game
If it's due better give it up right away
Cause a thug ni**a's gonna bring pressure
See me f**ked up  starvin ni**a  never
And as long as niggaz out here gettin paid
Back to my old ways  who they gonna run and tell  huh
It's a street thang  c'mon
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 the harmony rhythm
Hard hittin flows all we give 'em
Flows that spit venom  no cop  there goes the end of 'em
Ever since the beginnin we winnin it
Get a glimpse of legends standin on deck
'Til we come we'll be here holdin down the set
Keep on wonderin what the Bone 'bout to do next
Still they humble and the hungriest  God bless
The fan fam flex all across the U 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
And although it hurts me  to leave you all alone
Just know I'll come back to you  for now I am gone
Gone  I'm gone  I'm gone  I'm gone
I'm so gooooooooooooooooooooone  ooh yeah
I'm so gone  Wooo
