Gone Till December

Verse 1:
A rhyme slayer, we crime shakers but now major
Came a long way from dust mites and Now and Laters
And violators only comin’ with the territory
Yeah Blew the truth but won’t hesitate to tell a story
About them long nights dreamin’ on this page
Tryna save my fam from this minimum wage
Chained like a slave, oppression is all in your mind
And the news got you thinking it’s the end of the times and so fine
I still put my life on the line
‘cause you don’t get a second chance, get it right this time
Ya know? It’s catastrophic when I drop it, we now topic
Of conversation, fights sayin’ if loud rocks
Suits got plot and stay driven, high mileage
No more killing ourselves, nonviolence
My mind ain’t programmed, producing a dope jam
A stylish manner like yes sir, no ma’am
Whoa man, you need to check yourself like a pay stub
I know the difference between real and fake love
Guess that’s the way the bell tolls
When you tryna earn stripes like Nikes and velcros
We melt those foes with a flame that’s undeniable
Streets sick of hearing some lost souls in revival
It’s survival of the fullest, everyday we dodging bullets
That’s Carrie from the belly of the beast, should I pull it?
I lost some close friends on this journey
And even some loved ones, I can’t lie, it burned me
But old flame died out, tears that I cried out
Dried up, now it’s time for me to ride out

Chorus:
‘cause my train is here
Time for me to go but you don’t need to shed no tears
I’ll be gone ’til December, I got work to do
But promise I’ma come back to you

‘cause my train is here
Time for me to go but you don’t need to shed no tears
I’ll be gone ’til December, I got work to do
But promise I’ma come back to you

Verse 2:
Yeah
And I’m fighting misconceptions that
Life is a b-word, it’s all about perception without question
I grew up in this adventure, I remember when
Fam turned they back, hearts cold as December wind then
I moved through this world as a dream
A fallacy it seem but reality is mean
Measure past to the next man, similar to jokes
But the outcome of life is based on your approach
And reveal the concealed dark forces kneel in the presence of the real
Became numb to the feel
Gotta deal but I still flow light without meal ‘cause
Nothing last forever like scars, they all peel
I used to wanna live life like it was golden
But for real, gold can get you killed, on the real
So I got my bags packed and my ticket
Headed to the station making sure I don’t miss it for real

Chorus:
‘cause my train is here
Time for me to go but you don’t need to shed no tears
I’ll be gone ’til December, I got work to do
But promise I’ma come back to you

‘cause my train is here
Time for me to go but you don’t need to shed no tears
I’ll be gone ’til December, I got work to do
But promise I’ma come back to you
