Long Gone - Akon (阿肯)/R. City

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
