I used to tell my homie

Slow down time after time

But he never would listen

Until he got some time

The life that he was living

I knew it wasn t right

The judge gave him that sentence

And put him up for life

You don t miss the water

Til the well runs dry

Don t miss the living til they die

Don t know the reason

Don t know why

We just let life pass us by

Cause you never know

What you got you

Until it s gone

Away away away away

Long long gone

Cause you never know

What you got you

Until it s gone away

Away away away away

Long long gone

See my best friend used to stay with me

Each and every day he d chill with me

Always told me to pray for me

But I always thought that he ll be fine

Now I got to watch his mother cry

Cos she loved him child

Don t miss the water

Til the well runs dry

Don t miss the living til they die

Don t know the reason

Don t know why

We just let life pass us by.

Cause you never know

What you got you

Until it s gone away

Away away away away

Long long gone

Cause you never know

What you got you

Until it s gone away

Away away away away

Long long gone

So don t you take for granted

The life you ve been handed

Be thankful and grateful

Cause life goes on

With or without you

Plus there s so many people worse off than you

With no chance of changing

It s truly up to you

Cause you never know

What you got you

Until it s gone away

Away away away away

Long long gone

Cause you never know

What you got you

Until it s gone away

Away away away away

Long long gone
