Lil Wayne, G-Eazy - When You're Gone lyrics

Shout out Dakari
Shout out Ed, shout out Jessie
Shout out The Game
It's like we always do at this time
Thinkin' to myself like, yeah, uh

Starin' at a blank canvas
Thinkin' 'bout what should I write
Should I plan this?
Reminiscin' eighteen, a freshman on campus
With dreams so big, nobody understands us
'Til they came true, started goin' bananas
Somewhere along the road
I got as lost as Atlantis
Been there since Vegas
Drinkin' under cabanas
And medicine for breakups
Take the pills life hand us
No sleep, I been up for a couple of days
Can't nobody talk to him
Been stuck in my ways


They say it's unsustainable, but fuck it
It pays
Results and results, keep runnin' them plays
I see the writing's on the wall
That shit's getting clear
My new girl says she love me
But I don't even hear her
I can't even drive a Jag'
That shit is inferior
Only time I see a threat
When I look in the mirror (Yeah) , ayy

They only love you when you're gone
It don't matter where you goin'
(Uh) , yeah (You know)
But I did it on my own
So I'd rather be alone
(I'd rather be alone) , yeah
They only love you when you're gone
It don't matter where you goin'
(Yeah, Uh) , yeah well, I got it on my own
So I'd rather die alone (Yeah! Yeah)

The greatest gift is knowledge it'self
They fail to talk about my
Journey when mentionin' wealth
I made it here all by my lonely
No askin' for help
What if my debut never dropped and
Got kept up on a shelf?
Uh, from the soil, grew it slowly
A black leather, slicked back
They want the old G
"Things are happenin' again" that's
What they told me
I came home, full circle, now as an OG
Blink my eyes, to my surprise, I'm in Tokyo
Twenty thousand in the crowd
Singin' every quote
Blink again and they kickin' me outta Canada
I swear you wouldn't have the
Stomach or the stamina
Yeah, my shoulders carry over twenty tons
Biggie said it's more problems
When the money comes
My songs speak to the greats
Yeah the one-of-ones
I'ma go out as a legend
When it's said and done (Yeah)

They only love you when you're gone
It don't matter where you goin'
(Where you go, uh) yeah
But I did it on my own (On my own)
So I'd rather be alone
(I'd rather be alone) , yeah
They only love you when you're gone (Yeah)
It don't matter where you goin', yeah
Well, I got it on my own
So I'd rather die alone

Who put this shit together? I
Put this shit together
I'ma wear all my chains
Like some Olympic medals
They think it's all a game
So I'm thinkin' winnin' record
They thinkin' Kurt Cobain
But I'm thinkin' living legend
I'm straight to the Hall of Fame
From the hallways of the ghetto
It's fuck the world, fuck 12
Since I was like ten, eleven
I built the whole fuckin' mountain
I started out with a pebble
That money talk, that's a convo
If you broke then that's a lecture
I does me, 'cause only God can judge me
Nigga, trust me, only I can trust me
Yeah, it's just me and the skies above me
But I dug deep
Now close your eyes and come see
Will they love me when I'm
Gone? Will they know me?
Do they love me when I'm
Home or when I'm OT?
I'm here I don't know how
Long before I won't be so when I'm gone
How long will they mourn me? (Yeah)

They only love you when you gone
It don't matter where you goin'
(Matter where you goin') , yeah
But I did it on my own
So I'd rather be alone, yeah (Alone, yeah)
They only love you when you're gone Wayne
I appreciate you more than
You'll ever understand
It don't matter where you
Goin', yeah You know, a hero of mine
Well, I got it on my own
So I'd rather die alone Uh

Never finished, tryna search for more
Fuck a hit, this shit is what I do it for
So these bars will always be a part of me
Right now
I feel like track two on Tha Carter I I I
Uh, like it's 2008 NOLA
This shit was bubblin' and I
Don't even drink soda
The whole industry was givin'
Me a cold shoulder
And now my record label needs
Me to make quota
Yeah, that's all facts and every bar is real
Twenty years
Pray to God I'm makin' art still
I'm lettin' everything go like a yard sale
'Cause these songs'll beat longer
Than my heart will
