Now You're Gone lyrics

[Verse 1]April 4th, 1998Back when Marvin had the scooter with the shiny platesMe and him would split a meal, everytime that we ateWe were happy just to get the tiniest tasteWe were more than friends, we was like brothersWe ain't had much, but we had each otherUsed to battle for his mother'sAffections...she used to treat me like a son yoPiss poor, damn if we ain't had a lot of fun thoughSittin' on the stoop, we had our own rap groupPipe dreams of being rich and famous by 19But now I'm 22, and all I'd like to doIs fight the dudeThat got behind that wheel and snatched your life from youA drunk driver took my partner from meAnd to this day I still get nauseous every car that I seeR.I.P...."now you're gone"[Danny! talking]YeahPeople clown me man, y'knowwhatI'msayinI got into an accident not too long ago, and umI still drive my car with the air bags hangin' out, y'knowAnd the front end all balled up and shitThey be like, "Yo Danny, yo what happened to your car man?"I'm
a start telling 'em, yo that's just Marvin trying to get me to come join him yoShit, maybe I will[Verse 2]October 23rd, 2001I was just a lil' nigga that knew how to have funA couple personality flawsI had a trust issue with bitches; my uncle told me 'never smile at these broads'But I could sense that you was different from the day that I met youThey way you carried yourself, that way that I'd sweat youI bet you never thought we'd be the best of friendsI had the best intentions, but let's pretendFor a second we never met; would you still have the memoriesOf meeting me outside your dorm when it was only ten degrees?Your hands was freezing when you told me 'keep pursuing your dreams'But I ain't know that it would mean Danny losing a queenI used to think that we would grow old togetherBut instead you chose to sever the tiesForgive me for the lies..."now you're gone"[Danny! talking]Shit, I can't front manI cry at night sometimes, y'know?I mean, what's this shit all worthIf the pe
rson you love isn't there to share it with you?I know it's common knowledge that I took her for grantedNow I'm wishin' I can take it all back[Verse 3]November 14th, 2003Nobody else at school was screamin' louder than meWhen I discovered I was being expelled, for the hell of it'You why you gettin' kicked out?' Forget it, it's irrelevantD. Swain ain't never dwell on shitSo why would he start now?The perfect time for him to depart, vowedTo make a name for myselfGet some fame, maybe gain some wealth (what else?)I gave you the pain of a black man going through thangsJust being myself and showing you SwainNow a nigga feelin' disenchanted, jaded'Cause instead of gettin' props, Danny got hatedYeah I made it to the top, but I'm tossin' myself offD. Swain kill his image? Chalk it up as a lossGoodbye..."now you're gone"
