Layzie Bone, Young Noble - Then Your Gone lyrics

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

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)

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
