                Gone 'Til November  


Intro: (spoken) 

I dedicate this record, "The Carnival" to all you brothers takin' long 
trips down south, Virginia, Baltimore, all around the world, and your 
girl gets this message that you ain't comin' back.  She's sittin' back 
in the room, the lights are off, she's cryin', and then my voice comes in 
POW!, in the middle of the night, and this is what I told her for you 

Chorus: (sung) 

Every time 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 

Verse 1: (sung) 

When I come back, there'll be no need to clock 
I'll have enough money to buy out blocks 
Tell my brother, "Go to school in September" 
So he won't mess up in summer school in the summer 
Tell my cousin, Jerry, wear his condom 
If he don't wear condom, he'll see a redrum 
Woh oh oh oh 
You sucker MC's, you got no flow 
I heard your style, you're s-o s-o 

Repeat chorus 

Verse 2: (rap) 

I had to flip nuttin' and turn it into somethin' 
Hip-hop turns to the future rock when I smash a punk (BING!) 
Commit treason, then I'll have a reason to hunt you down 
It's only right, it's rappin' season 
Yeah, you with the loud voice, posin' like you're top choice 
Your voice, I'll make a hearse out of your Rolls Royce 
Besides, I got my girl to remember 
And I'll commit it that I'll be back in November 

Repeat chorus 

I know the hustle's hard, but we gotta enterprise, the carnival
