Danny! - Now You're Gone lyrics
rate me
[Verse 1] April 4th, 1998 Back when Marvin had the scooter with the shiny plates Me and him would split a meal, everytime that we ate We were happy just to get the tiniest taste We were more than friends, we was like brothers We ain't had much, but we had each other Used to battle for his mother's Affections...she used to treat me like a son yo Piss poor, damn if we ain't had a lot of fun though Sittin' on the stoop, we had our own rap group Pipe dreams of being rich and famous by 19 But now I'm 22, and all I'd like to do Is fight the dude That got behind that wheel and snatched your life from you A drunk driver took my partner from me And to this day I still get nauseous every car that I see R.I.P...."now you're gone" [Danny! talking] Yeah People clown me man, y'knowwhatI'msayin I got into an accident not too long ago, and um I still drive my car with the air bags hangin' out, y'know And the front end all balled up and shit They be like, "Yo Danny, yo what happened to your car man?" I'ma start telling 'em, yo that's just Marvin trying to get me to come join him yo Shit, maybe I will [Verse 2] October 23rd, 2001 I was just a lil' nigga that knew how to have fun A couple personality flaws I 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 you They way you carried yourself, that way that I'd sweat you I bet you never thought we'd be the best of friends I had the best intentions, but let's pretend For a second we never met; would you still have the memories Of 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 queen I used to think that we would grow old together But instead you chose to sever the ties Forgive me for the lies..."now you're gone" [Danny! talking] Shit, I can't front man I cry at night sometimes, y'know? I mean, what's this shit all worth If the person you love isn't there to share it with you? I know it's common knowledge that I took her for granted Now I'm wishin' I can take it all back [Verse 3] November 14th, 2003 Nobody else at school was screamin' louder than me When I discovered I was being expelled, for the hell of it 'You why you gettin' kicked out?' Forget it, it's irrelevant D. Swain ain't never dwell on shit So why would he start now? The perfect time for him to depart, vowed To make a name for myself Get some fame, maybe gain some wealth (what else?) I gave you the pain of a black man going through thangs Just being myself and showing you Swain Now a nigga feelin' disenchanted, jaded 'Cause instead of gettin' props, Danny got hated Yeah I made it to the top, but I'm tossin' myself off D. Swain kill his image? Chalk it up as a loss Goodbye..."now you're gone"
