06. GONE ALREADYIf you ever loved someone who never took the time to know you. Nothing that you say ever gets through. Listening, but they don’t hear you. You’re just going through the motions. Every day is so monotonous. Baby I’m just being honest. It was over before we started. I was gone…[Chorus] Gone already. Gone already. I understand now you’re ready. But I already been gone, I already been gone.Gone already. Gone already. Nothing else you can tell me. Cause I already been gone. I already been gone.I was feeling like a dead man walking.

Numb from all the pain you’re causing. Hoping that things would change, but you never gave me that option. There’s so many things you don’t do to make me over lookthe wrong. This is not the way that love should be. I guess you’re not the man for me…[Chorus] Gone already. Gone already. I just didn’t know you’re ready. But I already been gone, I already been gone.Gone already. Gone already. Nothing else you can tell me. Cause I already been gone. I already been gone.Packed my bags, made up my mind, broke that lease and left the keys behind. Hoping I could make it disappear. I could be a million miles from here. Obligation made me stay, as long as I did it that’s my mistake. When I know that I’m already gone…[Chorus] Gone already. Gone already. I just didn’t know you’re ready. But I already been gone, I already been gone.Gone already. Gone already. Nothing else you can tell me. Cause I already been gone. I already been gone.If you every loved someone who never took the time to know you…Going through the motions, everyday is so monotonous…Already been gone…

12. EVERYDAY STRUGGLE FT. RAEKWONIt’s funny how the world just turns aroundEverything that goes up, just know that it might be coming downAin’t nothing new under the sunEverything’s already been done

Listen to the words of this songIf you’re coming from the right place you can never go wrongLife can just pass you by so I just keep my head to the sky

What we gotta figure out is how to just work it outNothing’s more precious than timeTell you what life’s aboutPeople gotta work it outOpen your mind to get to the prize

Let me tell you something I knowYou gotta be more careful of the things that you wish forJust like King Midas I was told, everything that glitters ain’t goldAnd if you really know how God worksAnything is possible but you gotta just put him firstHe holds the world in his handsUnderstand it’s all in his plan

What we gotta figure out is how to just work it outNothing’s more precious than timeTell you what life’s aboutPeople gotta work it outOpen your mind to get to the prize

Raekwon Verse: A “Rolling Stone” letter from Daddy and all the struggles I maintained refuse to go backwards when aggieSavvy, grown with a lot of remorseThe grind made me defineWhatever times we in we lostBut keep the love thereOpen your heartI invested it well I’m now successful and I’m special as hellSo many black clouds broke out the day I caught myselfGot smoked outWish I had a moment to sell

You could be what you wannaMe, I’m just a genius and go gunnerThat’s what’s real(Expletive) can’t front onMy style, my personality, this is my realityKeep it moving you could do wellNever half stepping I been born to regulate and strive to stay richIn the heart stay strongReal (expletive) repeat itFaith drop a bracelet we need itShalom Chef, peace…repeat it -End of verse-

What we gotta figure out is how to just work it outNo bill is more precious than timeTell you what life’s aboutPeople gotta work it outOpen your mind to get to the prize(repeat)

BONUS TRACK16.TROUBLED WORLD PT. 2 FT. LIL MO & ESTELLENobody knows the troubled I’ve seen, nobody knows what it’s like to be me Nobody knows that the reason I sing, is to speak life to my realityI wake up each day at quarter to eight can’t be late got kids to raise got money to make got bills to pay and dreams to chaseEven though I fly first class VIP pass caviar and champagne fills my glassLiving that life I’m popping them tags but I still can’t catch a cab

I’m just trying to get along in this world on my ownCause I’m just trying to get along in this world on my own

(Estelle)It’s a troubled world that we’re living in A crazy world that I know you feel it spinning inI know we’re trying to live right but troubles all around meI don’t get arrested now I’m lucky that I got meAnd all these buildings falling downI wonder how much longer this earth will be aroundI’m scared to have a child and bring him in this plate causeWe don’t know how much more of this about to damageImagine if this place that Lennon said existsImagine if every child had somewhere to liveI wanna do some more than just imaginingBut for now I’ll take a get by and wish it to the wind

And I’m just trying to get along in this world on my own(repeart)
