I'm Gone
Jay-Rah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I don't Make It home tonight
Make sure you give my Momma the news
Make sure you hold her tight
And It happened by surprise
When I tell my fam I love em I look them in the eyes
And I know this pain fades away,
But It don't happen over night
I know the nights lonely and your heart cold
I know this path look empty, down this long road
And I promise It won't be that long
And I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
And Life A Gamble
But he rolled Two (Snake eyes) on the dye
Every dog goes to heaven
But Why I lost Mine?
And I can't trust these nigga
All they do Is lie
And My Right hand turned to a snake
I could see it in his eye
Niggas It's A War Out There
Niggas Wipe They Nose Round There
Niggas Wipe They Nose Out There
I said Niggas Can't Go Round There
And them Halos boy, the connected
I seen his body turn cold I swear
Why They kill my Dawg like Tony Stark?
Too Many Slimes to be falling Apart
If I call the TrueHitter Ain't no calling off
If I call the BigBody Ain't no calling off
If I don't make It home tonight
Make sure you give my Momma the news
Make sure you hold her tight
And It happened by surprise
When I tell my fam I love em, I look them In The Eyes
And I know this pain fades away
But It don't happen overnight
I know the nights lonely
And your hearts cold
I know this path looks empty
Down this long road
We so deep in the streets
We like the gutters
Outside everday, ducking undercovers
They say that love will get you killed only love my brothers
Projects of the Street Only God can judge us
Bro Nem' Used to fuck the same hoes
Now every hoe wanna fuck us
She Let me fuck on the first night I can't judge her
She a gutter bitch, No I can't trust her
Niggas playing two sides stay away from us
Even If you inna the middle(ton) you will get bucked up
All these shows Yea I got my bucks up
Hop In The Hellcat, I had to Dust ya
And It happened by surprise
When I tell my fam I love em, I look them In the eys
If I don't make it home tonight
Make sure you give my Momma the news
Make sure you hold her tight
And It happened by surprise
When I tell my fam I love em, I look them In the eyes
And I know this pain fades away
But It don't happen overnight
I know the nights lonely
And your hearts cold
I know this path looks empty
Down this long road




I promise It won't be that long
And I know you gon' miss me when I'm gone
