Then Your Gone

[Young Noble] Uh, uh, uh This dedicated to the music, it's all I know (it's all I know) It not only come from my heart, it come from my soul It all started back in Africa with drums and claps (with drums and claps) In the same type of feelin we applied to rap I put my soul on the song, for the world to embrace Tryna spread a lil' love, in this world of hate Picture life without music, you think you've seen war? I take this more serious than just a pour Back party to party, backyard to yard We tear it up y'all, I pass the mic to the Lord It's rightfully yours, responsibility for the cause When I'm blowin that purple, I stop and I pause Think of what would life be like, without you in my life? We air tight, I wanna call you my wife Let's call it a mic, a beat, and a loud prowl Of all different nationalities and e'rybody proud It was jumpin off, and e'rybody respectin it Excellent before I ever got a check for this It's no pressure kid, this is what I do I'm dedicated to the music, I love you I just wanna hug you and kiss you good night You helped me keep my lil' man and keep my family tight So I'm dedicated to you and all you do Young Noble and Lil' Layzie Bone keepin it true, yeah [Chorus: Layzie Bone] + (Young Noble) One day you're here (one day) And then you're gonnnnne (every day count) One day you're here, baby (one day) And then you're gonnnnne (you gotta make every day count) Been labeled a menace I put in the Guinness You better go check my manuscript - hey, hey, hey (every minute, every second count) Been labeled a menace I put in the Guinness You better go check that manuscript - hey, hey, hey, hey (every minute, every second count) [Layzie Bone] It's been about twelve years since I seen my nigga That's when we buried him in the ground, damn Wally I miss you We wrote that song about you dawg, it was Bone's biggest hit We went and broke them Beatles records, you can say you the shit I seen yo' momma last week, and we laughed and cried Reminiscin how you lived, then you suddenly died But she strong, and we strong, nigga you livin through Bone So much drama goin on, I had to write you this song With tears droppin on my paper, for my nigga in heaven I know you in a better place, to be yo' friend was a blessin Every day's a different lesson, so I take it with stride Still the mission is the money, so I make it and ride You feel the drums, and the strings, and the lyrics that we bring Two bad niggas untouchable team, fuck you pay me, that's the thing Bad to the motherfuckin Bone dawg, step up in the Bone yard In the paint we go hard, Thug Brother for life, my road dawg [Chorus] - repeat 2X
