Gone 2024

[Chorus]
The thrill is gone, the feeling's gone
It's winter season, but the ceiling's gone
Let the healin' begin
We winnin' again, my friend, hope you feelin' strong

[Verse]
It's one me, it's a thousand of them
Fela Kuti, Marvin Gaye, swear I'm a product of them
Warheads, y'all lookin' sour again
I put in ten thousand hours again and again and again and again
West End, East End (Yes, I did it)
B-Town, Scarborough (Yes, I did it)
Ajax, Pickering (Yes, I did it)
LA, NY (Yes, I, yes, I)
My women out in Vaughan buyin' cribs, ownin' businesses
Talkin' to the bosses, leapfroggin' over middlemen
School of hard knocks I got perfect attendance in
Like Shaq at the line, we here to fuck up these percentages
I got a dog you wouldn't dare meet like venison
Me, I'm a starter and I finish 'em, simple tings
Today, I got the time, plays, made a couple down
Love to see my brothers shine, Jerome on the other line
Runnin' up a couple thou', that shit really made me proud
Jimmy got a starting five, me, I'm still the god of rhyme
All my sisters gotta rise, all my brothers gotta shine
God is good all the time, God is good (All the time)
People over profit, if you love somebody, love 'em down
Companies only loyal to the motherfuckin' bottom line
TOBi is an atom bomb
Droppin' on these Comic-Con rappers fraudin' us online
I'ma show up rain or shine
Ayy, blessed to be here, skin gettin' clear, cheques gettin' clear
Year after year, Braden got me drippin'
My vision is clear, my peers is livin' in fear
They scared, my nigga, I'm here
Far from timid, I'm killin' the limit, the mission is liftin' us here
Yeah, it's time to level up
I'm a peacekeeper, Eastern philosophy
But if heads wanna war, I'm 'bout to take 'em on a choppin' spree
Heart frigid, rockin' a beanie 'cause it's chilly in here
The hate is alive, like Siegel, it's still in the air
Artists movin' out the city now to get a career
I hate that when you make a local move, all the villains appear
B-Town's finest, came back to the city I love
For the women, my children, my dogs
Give the competition some inspirin' shit that they ain't witnessed before
Like a dental check-up how I leave 'em in awe
They paved paradise and built a parking lot
So we put community gardens atop the parking spot
Shawn Marion, I shot my shot, although unorthodox
Just like a phoenix, Ma, your son finna rise, I promise
Kush cloud, yeah, the scent is strong
Me and Big Leigh on a ten-year run, but I know the feeling strong
The thrill ain't gone
I wrote this on a Friday, one shot could done 'em all
Spark 'em like a Philly, yeah, I'm goin' the Kawhi way
Yeah, I was preppin' for this very challenge
Focus, dedication led to better actions
Fakers said it'd never happen
I was always good with the books, but I was better rappin'
Alisha said I'd be a legend, facts
I remember everything
I remember when I was poor just like Edgar Allen
And I ain't have no motion like the road, that's on Eg and Allen
Game cold, but I'm never laggin'
Make moves, you just steady chattin'
Tanners pullin' strings like Eric Clapton, Lenny Kravitz
Sleeves rolled up like Spinelli, yeah, we gettin' active
Motherfucker, let me at 'em (Woo)
Libra baby, check the balance

[Bridge]
Can I keep goin'? (Can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I?)
Shall I continue? (Can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I?)
Ayy, can I keep goin'? (Can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I?)
Shall I continue? (Can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I keep, can I?)
Can I keep goin'?

[Chorus]
The thrill is gone, the feeling's gone
It's winter season, but the ceiling's gone
Let the healin' begin
We winnin' again, my friend, hope you feelin' strong
