Long Gone

I used to tell my homie
 Slow down time after time
 But he never would listen
 Until he got some time
 The life that he was living
 I knew it wasn't right
 The judge gave him that sentence
 And put him up for life
 You don't miss the water
 Til the well runs dry
 Don't miss the living til they die
 Don't know the reason
 Don't know why
 We just let life pass us by
 Cause you never know (never know)
 What you got (what you got)
 Until it's gone (gone away)
 Away away away away
 Long long gone
 Cause you never know (never know)
 What you got (what you got)
 Until it's gone away
 Away away away away
 Long long gone
 See my best friend used to stay with me
 Each and every day he'd chill with me
 Always told me to pray for me
 But I always thought that he'll be fine
 Now I got to watch his mother cry
 Cos she loved him child
 Don't miss the water
 Til the well runs dry
 Don't miss the living til they die
 Don't know the reason
 Don't know why
 We just let life pass us by
 Cause you never know (never know)
 What you got (what you got)
 Until it's gone away
 Away away away away
 Long long gone
 Cause you never know (never know)
 What you got (what you got)
 Until it's gone away
 Away away away away
 Long long gone
 So don't you take for granted
 The life you've been handed
 Be thankful and grateful
 Cause life goes on
 With or without you
 Plus there's so many people worse off than you
 With no chance of changing
 It's truly up to you
 Cause you never know (never know)
 What you got (what you got)
 Until it's gone away
 Away away away away
 Long long gone
 Cause you never know (never know)
 What you got (what you got)
 Until it's gone away
 Away away away away
 Long long gone
