| Gone 'Til November (Album Version) |
Performed By: Wyclef Jean
From the album: "The Carnival" (1997)
[Spoken] I dedicate this record, "The Carnival"
To all you brothers taking long trips down South
Virginia, Baltimore, all around the world
And your girl gets this message that you ain't coming back
She's sitting back in her room, the lights is off, she's crying
And then my voice comes in, pow, in the middle of the night
And this is what I told her for you
Everytime I make a run, girl you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
So I'll be gone 'til November
Said I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
And give a kiss to my mother
When I come back they'll be no need to clock
I'll have enough money to by out the block
Tell my brother, go to school in September
So he don't mess up in summer school in the summer
Tell my cousin Jerry, wear his condom
If you don't wear condom, you see the redrum
Whoa oh oh, you sucka MC's you got no flow
I heard your style's s-o s-o
Everytime I make a run, girl you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
So I'll be gone 'til November
Said I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
And give a kiss to my mother
I had to flip nothing, and turn it into something
Hip-hop turns to the future, rock when I smash a punk b...
Commit treason, then I have a reason
To hunt you down, it's only right it's rabbit season
Yeah you with the loud voice
Posing like you're top choice, royce
I'll make a hearse out of your Rolls Royce
Besides, I got my girl to remember
And I commited, that I'll be back in November
Everytime I make a run, girl you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
So I'll be gone 'til November
Said I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
And give a kiss to my mother
