Title: Long Gone
Artist: Akon

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 chil
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
