Gone Till November
Refugee Allstars Lyrics

Every time I make a run, girl, you turn around and cry
My girl always cries when I leave, and it makes me wonder why.

I ask myself why, oh why
I'm trying to figure out why my girl always cries when I leave.

See, you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
I can't work a regular job because I'm in the music industry.

So I'll be gone 'til November
I'll be away until November for music tours and performances.

Said I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
I've repeated this to emphasize that I'll be gone for a while.

Yo, tell my girl, yo, I'll be gone 'til November
Please tell my girl that I'll be gone until November.

January, February, March, April, May
These are the months that I'll be gone, away from home.

I see you cryin', but girl, I can't stay
I see my girl crying, but I can't change my job, it's my career.

And give a kiss to my mother
Before I go, I want to give a kiss to my mother.

When I come back, there'll be no need to clock
Once I return from my tours, I'll have enough money that I won't need to work a regular job again.

I'll have enough money to buy out blocks
I'll have enough money to buy property.

Tell my brother, 'Go to school in September'
Tell my brother to go back to school in September.

So he won't mess up in summer school in the summer
So he won't have to go to summer school in the summer.

Tell my cousin, Jerry, wear his condom
Remind my cousin to use protection during sexual activity.

If you don't wear condom, you'll see a red lump
If he doesn't use a condom, he might get an STD.

Woh oh oh oh
A musical break.

You sucker MC's, you got no flow
Insulting other rappers for their lack of skill.

I heard your style, you're s-o s-o
I listened to your music and it's just okay.

I had to flip nuttin' and turn it into somethin'
I had to take nothing and turn it into something successful.

Hip-hop turns to the future rock when I smash a punk
Hip-hop will continue to thrive as a genre, especially when I make successful music.

Commit treason, then I'll have a reason to hunt you down
If you betray me, I'll have a reason to seek revenge.

It's only right, it's rappin' season
It's the season for making and performing rap music.

Yeah, you with the loud voice, posin' like you're top choice
A specific call-out to another musician who claims to be the best.

Your voice, I'll make a hearse out of your Rolls Royce
I'll destroy your music career and make sure you're buried six feet under.

Besides, I got my girl to remember
Despite any conflicts or insults, I have a girl who's important to me.

And I'll commit it that I'll be back in November
I'm promising that I'll come back home and see my girl in November.

I know the hustle's hard, but we gotta enterprise, the carnival
I acknowledge that the music industry is tough but we have to continue to work hard and make it successful.
