ASHANTI - Then Ya Gone lyrics

rate me

(feat. Chink Santana)

Well.. Well well well well..hello baby

One day ya here and then ya gone..

[Chink rapping]

Im waking up to anotha day its amazing its gettin crazy

Cuz why I wonder how I stuck this out I got this touch

this pain and may be this might just be my prayers

be as in these strange ways stuck in these dreams

cuz if ya hood like mine hood yur good ouh

cuz the world is the ghetto we gone go get locked upped

yall go get ya hussle on and ya struggles on one day

ya hea and then the next day ya gone

[Chorus]

One day ya here baby,

And then ya gone [4x]

See, everyday we complain about lil ups and downs

We needa be thanking the lord that we're still around

You'll never ever know when it is your time to go and

I know its hurtin so bad when we lose people that we love

Gotta use that example n try and straighten up

U gotta live everyday as if its ya last one

One minute ya here and the next day ya gone

[Chorus]

See lately I wake up in the morning

Wanting to cry, I bend my knees

And I raise my head up into the sky

Sometimes I just cant fight my

Feeling I have inside I

See I always wished that you would

Be here right by my side

I'm glad I told you "I love you"

So much before you died

I knew you couldn't and wouldn't

Be here for very long

One minute ya here and the next day ya gone

[Chorus]

See, what I need

Is for ya'll to know

That living life

Can come and go

Ya gotta face reality

I want the world to sing wit me

Sometimes the world that we live in

Don't seem so fair or forgiven

See these streets are hard to survive in

Cuz all day you see people dying

I pray that one day we all see

That life aint promised to you

And life aint promised to me

Never forget this

And be clear, we don't know how long

We gon be here

[Chorus til end]
