I'm Gone
D.J. Kay Slay Lyrics

I hit the weed I told myself the last time would be my last
I smoked marijuana and made a promise to myself to quit after this time.

I don't trust my own niggas now my mind racing fast
I can't rely on my friends anymore, and it's making me anxious.

Got my foot up on the gas, got a hundred on the dash
I'm driving fast with a hundred miles per hour on the speedometer.

If the police run up on me I ain't stopping for their ass
I won't pull over for the police if they try to stop me.

Boy you know my L's dirty if they stop me I'm goin to jail surely
If the police catch me, they'll put me in jail because of my dirty past.

I'll be next to my brother in the cell no bail for me
I'll be locked up in a cell with my brother, with no hope for bail.

Man let me out send me back to bitches that smell Purdy (pretty)
I want to leave jail and go back to the women who smell good.

And all I gotta do is call once and she'll be all ready
I have a girl who is always ready to see me if I call her.

Yeah buddy can't you tell I'm goin thru hell
I am experiencing a very difficult and painful time in my life.

I don't even open my mail
I don't even bother to open my mail or respond to messages.

I'm in the shower with soap on the towel
I am showering and using a towel to lather my body with soap.

I need cleansing
I feel like I need to be spiritually purified and rid of my guilt and pain.

Bad bitches all on the prowl they need Benzes
Attractive women are looking for men who can buy them luxurious vehicles like Benzes.

Pussy niggas running they mouth but we ain't flinching
Weak people are talking nonsense, but we aren't reacting or paying attention.

They names ain't even mentioned
We don't even bother to mention their names because they are insignificant to us.

I got dreams bigger than your whole team
I have aspirations and ambitions much greater than your entire team.

You niggas so broke but yet somehow you seem so green
You guys are poor, but you always seem to act like you have money or act in a shady way.

I guess it's envy, started with a penny now I'm getting plenty money
You guys are just jealous of my success, which started from humble beginnings and now I have plenty of money.

Look kid, it's raining outside boy
Hey, it's raining heavily outside.

Fuck an umbrella, niggas banging outside boy
I don't need an umbrella, even though people are shooting guns outside.

They guns dumb bell a nigga
Their guns are so powerful that they can cause severe damage or harm to someone.

Tired of telling niggas that's a cease rest in peace
I am tired of telling people to stop fighting and just let the dead rest in peace.

We tired of only having just a peace
We are fed up with only having temporary peace and not a lasting resolution to the violence.

And fuck policing, they killing niggas what's the reason
I hate the police because they are killing black people for no reason.

His daughter starving and she fucking freezing
His daughter is hungry and cold, and it's extremely sad and unfortunate.

So no wonder why he fucking squeezing
It's no surprise that he is shooting his gun, given the dire circumstances.

They out here bussin' leaving niggas stuck in bleeding on the flo'
They are shooting their guns and leaving people lying wounded and bleeding on the floor.

Bullets wet you like a semen on a hoe
The bullets will hit you and leave you as wet and messy as a hoe who has been with a lot of men.

Breathing slow man I inhale
I'm breathing slowly and deeply, taking a deep breath.

One day you tryna make rent, next day you in jail
One day you are trying to make enough money for rent, and the next day you end up in prison.

Lord knows he meant well
God knows that he had good intentions.

So I take the pencil and write like a pen pal
I take a pencil and write a letter like a pen pal, expressing my thoughts and feelings through writing.

Some shit that's darker than the tints up on the windshield
I write about things that are even more depressing, complicated and dark than the heavily tinted windshield of my car.

Welcome to sinville where niggas on base
Welcome to a sinful place where guys are trying to achieve a base goal, like success or fame.

Shit is looking like an infield
Things are looking like a baseball infield, maybe referring to a crowded or competitive environment.

High as a Sprint bill
High, maybe like the price of a Sprint bill which is a phone company.

What you think, that's the reason why this ink in my pen kills
Do you think this high is why my writing is so powerful or poignant?

Phoney niggas until they are extinct, bitch I've been real
Fake people won't last long, but I have been genuine all along.

The more niggas sayin' Cole the wrong one bringin' the city shine
Despite what other people say, I am actually having a positive impact on the city.

All he ever doin' is paintin' pictures of crime
All people seem to think I do is glorify or depict criminal activity.

Tellin' stories of pain, paintin' pictures of dope
I am just telling stories of people's struggles and painting a picture of hope, despite a life of using dope.

Bitch if you listen I'm paintin' pictures of hope
Listen closely and you'll see that what I'm painting is a picture of hope.

That boy in class embarrassed because he broke
There was a boy in my class who was ashamed of being poor and not having enough money to fit in.

Hopin' the day he won't be the butt of somebody's jokes
He hoped that one day he wouldn't be laughed at by his classmates or be made fun of.

See me; I lived it all from dirt-poorin' and trailer
You can see that I have experienced it all: I have been dirt-poor and lived in a trailer.

Worried about my mother and never trustin' my neighbors
I was always worried about my mother's safety and didn't even trust my neighbors.

To middle-class with a backyard and my own room
I rose up to the middle class, with a backyard and bedroom all to myself.

To bein' the only black kid in my homeroom
I was the only black student in my homeroom class.

Academically gifted and followed my own rules
I was naturally intelligent and didn't need anyone to tell me how to be successful.

Was runnin' the streets hey ma I'll be home soon
I was hanging out on the street and telling my mother that I would be home soon.

Was out chasin' ho's, was out hoopin'
I was spending time with women and playing basketball with my friends.

Them niggas wasn't ballin' but yet they was foul shootin'
My friends weren't even good at basketball but were playing dirty or cheating.

So meet the newest role model who don't know how to fake this shit
Meet me, the newest role model, who is always genuine and doesn't know how to be fake.

Never sold a rock and look I made it bitch
I never sold drugs, but I still managed to make it and become successful.

Girl it's been so long, I've been gone from you
It's been so long since I've been with you.

But you ain't gotta worry 'bout the thangs I do
You don't have to worry about me or what I'm doing.

It's hard but the thought of you would ease my pain
It's difficult to be without you, but thinking of you makes it easier to bear the pain.

Girl I promise they gon' know our name
I promise that we will become famous and people will know who we are.

Ain't seen you smile in awhile
I haven't seen you smile in a long time.

But I been dreamin' 'bout you
But I have been dreaming about you and thinking of you all along.

And one time for the city, hey
Again, this song is dedicated to the city and its issues.

Two times for you
This song is also for the listener, to empower them and acknowledge their struggles.
